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:

I used to think growth meant taking on harder cases. That is what I saw other dentists doing with implants. They would start with a single tooth, then graduate to multiple teeth, and eventually full arch cases. Complexity stacked, and so did their confidence. So I assumed aligners worked the same way. But it did not take long to realize they don’t. Here is what I noticed. On Instagram, the dentists posting complex aligner cases were not celebrating at the finish line. They were relieved. More...

I once had a patient who kept cracking his molars one by one. At the start I told him it was happening because of his occlusion and that we needed to even out his bite with aligners to distribute the forces. He did not listen. He just kept breaking teeth. Then on the final crown seat appointment he looked at me and said, “I think I want to do aligners.” That experience stuck with me. Most dentists fail to convert existing patients because they simply do not offer it. They feel like if they...

Most dentists believe growth comes from doing more complex cases. That is true for implants. You start with a single tooth, then move to multiple, then full arch cases. But aligners are different. Complexity does not equal growth. Here is why. More complexity means more refinements. More refinements means more time. More time means less profitability. If you want to grow with aligners, you need efficiency, not complexity. Here are 3 levers to focus on: Case selection: Do more of the simple,...
