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:

Whenever I got ideas, I used to write them down on paper so I would not forget. Over time, all I had was a bunch of paper with writing on it and very little action. I hoarded them, never throwing them away because they were “good ideas.” But the truth is, I never had a plan to actually do them. At first it was exciting. I felt like I had a bank of ideas ready to go. But it was also overwhelming. I did not know where to start. That is when I realized less is more. You can only execute on one...

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...
