Hey Friends,
If your aligner cases are taking 12+ months, something is wrong.
Here’s why most dentists add unnecessary time to their cases:
• Not staging movements properly. Too much happening at once = slower results.
• Refinements aren’t planned. Every case should expect at least one refinement.
• Poor attachment design. If the trays aren’t gripping the teeth properly, movement slows down.
🔥 Actionable Tip: Build in a planned refinement phase. Tell patients upfront: “We’ll evaluate your results at the end of this first set of trays and make final tweaks as needed for the best outcome”
This prevents frustration and sets the right expectation from day one.

Straight Talk
There’s a big difference between an aligner program and a scalable aligner system—and if you want long-term success, you need to know it.
An aligner program is just a checklist. A set of instructions that your providers follow, hoping for good results. It works… until it doesn’t. Until a case doesn’t track. Until a patient isn’t compliant. Until your team has questions and there’s no real structure to fall back on.
A scalable aligner system, on the other hand, creates confidence, consistency, and predictability across every provider, every location, every patient. It doesn’t just hand your team a playbook—it trains them, supports them, and gives them workflows that actually work.
Your team needs more than a step-by-step guide. They need hands-on training to build confidence, repeatable workflows to streamline efficiency, and ongoing support to troubleshoot cases before they become problems. That’s how you turn aligners into a true growth engine for your practice.
If you’re serious about scaling aligners, don’t settle for a program. Build a system that makes success inevitable.
