Espresso and Naps - An Underrated Combo


Hey Friends,

Neha and I are taking a much needed vacation this week and made it to Italy!

The trip has been fun and relaxing so far - this is what makes what we do so worth it.

In my opinion the people of Italy are LIVING.

Nobody seems stressed - everyone takes their time.

It is super refreshing to be around such a laid back culture that prioritizes spending time with each other and enjoying good food and wine :)

This is the first time I have every been to Italy and it is not disappointing one bit.

I have however seen everyone and their mother travel to italy via IG stories for the last few years… now it’s our time 😂

So far my favorite thing to do is try different types of “spritzes” and sip on an espresso at random times throughout the day.

My next favorite thing to do on vacation is take naps.

There are very few things more enjoyable in this life than taking a nap in the middle of the day (or morning) on vacation!

Embrace Comprehensive Digital Planning with Clear Aligners

The beauty of clear aligners goes beyond their transparent design. They are part of a digital-driven approach to orthodontics. With the ability to scan, plan, and visualize tooth movements, dentists can create a more collaborative and educational experience for their patients.

Here’s how to elevate the patient-care journey with aligners:

  1. Digital Showcase Sessions: Regularly schedule sessions where you walk your patients through their digital treatment plans. Use this as an opportunity to educate them on the intricacies of their dental needs and the specifics of their treatment trajectory. Visual aids can enhance understanding and trust.
  2. Tailored Treatments: Utilize the digital scans to discuss treatment options. With clear aligners, it's easier than ever to show alternatives and adapt plans based on patient needs and feedback.
  3. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Get your entire dental team involved. With the digital tools available, everyone from dental hygienists to receptionists can have a role in the patient education process, ensuring that each touchpoint is informative and comforting.

By integrating this approach, not only will you solidify your position as a cutting-edge dental practice, but you'll also foster a more engaged, informed, and satisfied patient base. Remember, in the age of clear aligners, it's not just about straightening teeth but also about leveraging technology to deliver comprehensive patient care.

When I first started teaching aligners, a lot of people asked me the same question... “Which brand do you use?” They wanted me to say one name. Invisalign. SureSmile. ClearCorrect. OrthoSnap. CandidPro. But the truth is, I do not care about the brand. What matters is the doctor. What matters is the patient. And what matters most is that the case gets started. Most dentists get stuck obsessing over which aligner company is better. They spend months debating marketing claims, lab fees, and...

Most dentists get stuck in idea overload. They write down every thought, attend CE courses, and collect pages of notes. But nothing actually changes in the practice. I know because I used to do the same thing. I would fill notebooks with “good ideas” and then let them sit. It felt exciting at first, but eventually it became overwhelming. What I learned is simple: ideas only matter if you execute on them. Here are 3 rules that helped me shift from hoarding ideas to creating results: 1. One...

I used to watch minor cracks and crowding “just to be safe.” I thought waiting meant I was being conservative. One patient came back six months later with a cracked molar. She asked me, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” That question stung. I realized “waiting” wasn’t protecting my patients — it was protecting my own fears. If you’re stuck, try this instead: Diagnose what you see clearly and early Explain risks of delaying treatment in simple language Give patients all the info so they can...
