I got to speak with some aligner legends...

Published 3 months ago • 5 min read

Hey Friends,

I got to speak with some aligner legends over the last 2 weeks - docs who collectively have done THOUSANDS of cases... and when I asked them what their message would be to dentists who have not dived into aligners yet they all said the same thing...

"What are you waiting for?!"

These conversations were really fun to have because I got to pick their brains about how they educate their docs but we got to go deeper. I got to hear their stories and journeys about how they got into aligners and how they GREW to where they are today.

They all said they could have never imagined to be in the position they are in today.

I made it a point to ask all of them "what did you think your career would be like when you first graduated dental school."

They all said that this was not part of the plan but they wouldn't trade their journey for anything.

This is the message that I am trying to share with you my friend.

When you step into the world of aligners - your career will change.

It won't be subtle either - it will be drastic.

There are several walking examples of this phenomenon.

You may or may not believe me - and that is one of the reasons why I started the Clear Aligner Chats podcast.

I want to bring aligner experts to one place - get them to share their stories and pull the curtain back on how they got to where they are.

Another bit to the podcast that I would like to share with you all are shorter episodes where it is just me and you. I share a tip about aligners or mindset or whatever I feel like talking about lol - I haven't really dialed this out but am open to your suggestions/feedback.

Another goal of mine with Clear Aligner Chats is to bring other people in the industry on as guests and have them share their unique stories with you. Maybe I even bring dentists who are just starting out with aligners and they can share their stories with you so that it feels a little closer to home for you and can be more relatable?


So many dentists ask me "what scanner should I use?"

I always say "it depends on your situation."

Here is the problem with the industry - there is innovation that is occurring but nobody knows about it. Why?

Because the current platforms that are meant to broadcast this information are LACKING on the marketing side. I want to make a positive change here.

Wouldn't it be nice to listen to a podcast where you have multiple founders/reps from all the different aligner companies and scanners that are out there and share with you more about their products and services?

I am personally fascinated with the aligner space and I selfishly think this would be a great way to talk to people in the industry but you may find value in the conversations as well.

iTero - medit -trios - 3shape - dandy - primescan

What are the differences between them?
What are the benefits?
What are the cons?
What type of practice is each one best for?

There's so many questions that you are only getting answers from... your friends or a rep who comes into your office or.... the toxic facebook groups lol

If this is REMOTELY interesting to you - PLEASE RESPOND to this email and let me know whether or not you would even tune in.

And if you have a topic you want me to discuss or a guest you think I should have on please feel free to share this as well!

Again guys - I am personally sending this email to you - Dr. Avi. Not some AI robot lol

I really want to bring value to your life and I am all ears as I am creating this podcast!

It's a fun project but I think it could really change the landscape of the industry and how you get your information!

Hey Friends, The concept of dental student loan repayment is pretty nuts. You took out around $500k in loans just to learn how to do basic procedures. You come out and know little to nothing Then you have to essentially invest in more education to be able to level up. If you didn't know you needed to do that... now you know lol I say this because I wish I knew that earlier in my career. The first dentist I worked for actually told me CE was a waste of money... (he was wrong - kind of) I think...

Hey Friends, The question posed in the subject may seem redundant to you but focus and "things to focus on" is an interesting concept. Some people think they need to be doing multiple things at once to be productive. Others think they just need to focus on one thing at a time and chip away. I don't know if there is a right answer but lately I have been doing a combo of both. It's helped me make INSANE strides in MEANINGFUL projects that I am working on right now. In the last 2 weeks I have...

Hey Doc, I'll keep this week's newsletter short. A lot of people have been asking me to bring back one of my original programs because they said they wanted a starter program where they could still gain confidence with aligners but at a more approachable price point... I fought it for the longest time because I thought everyone wanted ALL of the value and support that comes with Aligner Launchpad (hence the investment amount) But I realized this was ME thinking about ME. And you are not me....
