Getting your team to own the aligner workflow


One of the biggest mistakes I see with aligners is the dentist trying to do everything alone.

You run the consult, you talk case acceptance, you scan, you handle the ClinCheck, you deliver trays.

No wonder it feels overwhelming.

The truth is, if you want aligners to scale in your practice, your team has to own their role in the workflow.

Here are 3 ways to make sure that happens:

  1. Define the playbook clearly.
    Confusion kills execution. If your assistant does not know exactly what to say when scanning, or your front desk does not know how to handle the financial conversation, you are setting them up to fail. Document the process step by step so there is no guesswork.
  2. Train with repetition.
    One huddle or one meeting is not enough. Just like we need reps to build clinical confidence, your team needs reps to build communication confidence. Role play phone calls. Practice consults. Keep refining until it feels natural.
  3. Connect their role to the bigger picture.
    Your team will not care about aligners just because you do. Show them how their piece of the puzzle impacts patient outcomes and practice growth. When the front desk understands that every phone call can create a case start, or the assistant sees how their photos help you treatment plan, execution goes way up.

The bottom line: You cannot scale aligners by being a one-person show. Give your team clarity, training, and purpose, and they will execute.

That is all for today.

If you want the exact workflow system I use to help dentists and their teams execute aligners with confidence, I put together a free training:

If you have more than one priority, they are not priorities. They are a wishlist. I used to write down 10 or more things I wanted to accomplish every day. By the end of the day, I felt busy. But I did not feel accomplished. Now my list usually has two or three things. That is it. Why? Because I am clearer on my goals. We think we need to be doing all the things. We do not. Being busy is easy. Being productive is harder. hink about it like this. Doing 20 fillings in a day feels busy. Starting...

If you want to grow, you have to say no. Going into 2026, you will need to say no to more things than you say yes to. If clear aligners are not the area of your practice you want to grow, you should not watch my free training. You should not sign up for courses. You should not even be thinking about it. That might sound harsh, but clarity creates speed. If your goal is to improve schedule efficiency, then the only content you should be consuming and implementing is content that helps you do...

Most practices look the same. They take insurance, modify treatment to fit coverage, and neglect what is truly best for patients. That is why so many dentists get compared to the office next door. If you want to stand out, you need to differentiate. Here are 3 simple levers for differentiation: 1. Offer what you believe in. Even if it is not popular. Patients can feel when you truly believe in your treatment. 2. Hyper focus on the patient experience. From the first phone call to the moment...
