Stop Comparing Yourself—Focus on Your Own Path


Hey Friends,

I used to work in a Medicaid office, and scrolling through Instagram was tough.

All I saw were top veneer docs like Dr. Apa, Sam Saleh, and Dr. Duval crushing it with high-end cosmetic work, while I was over here doing basic dentistry.

It made me feel like shit.

It got to a point where my therapist suggested I unfollow them for my mental health.

At first, it felt wrong, like I was being jealous.

But honestly, that was just the voice in my head.

You really think they noticed if I was following or not?

Haha, not at all.
By stepping away from that comparison, I was able to focus on me.

Fast forward a few years, and I’ve leveled up in my own lane, playing my own game.

I'm the 2024 Dentist Influencer of the Year... most followed aligner educator on social media and i've created my own business where I control my schedule and live life on my terms.

I’ve realized that comparing yourself to others only slows you down.

Your success is right around the corner too—if you want it badly enough.

Stop comparing, start focusing.

Straight Talk

Implementing a new procedure is tough. It takes time, energy, and patience.

But here’s the payoff:

The time you spend now training your team on a clear aligner workflow means future hires step in knowing exactly what to do.

Your effort to motivate your team today turns aligners into the standard of care tomorrow.

And the stress of early mornings now leads to peace of mind when your team runs the system without constant oversight.

Starting something new isn’t easy—but once you’ve built a system that works, it starts working for you.

The grind is temporary; the rewards are long-lasting.

What’s been your biggest success with implementing new procedures?

Let’s share ideas and keep leveling up.


Your Friend,

Dr. Avi

Hey Friends, I’ve seen so many dentists use insurance as an excuse for why they can’t do more or charge what they’re worth. They say things like, “I can’t charge more because insurance won’t cover it.” But here’s the truth—if you truly believed in yourself and your abilities, you wouldn’t need to hide behind insurance. When you lean into your personal brand and build confidence in your skills, you’ll attract your dream patients. These are the patients who seek you out for your expertise, not...

Hey Friends, 2024 has been a wild year, and I’ve never experienced so much growth in such a short time—it’s been life-changing both personally and professionally.

We relaunched Aligner Blueprint, launched Aligner Advantage (our group offer for multi-location practices), and attended the acquisition.com workshop with the...

Hey Friends, I see a lot of dentists think they need to invest tens of thousands of dollars learning full-mouth rehab, veneers, or advanced procedures, but they can’t even confidently perform straightforward treatments yet. Here’s the deal—learn the basics first, then skill up from there. It’s also important to evaluate if your practice is even structured to implement those procedures. For example, if you practice in an area where most of your patients are partially or completely edentulous,...
