The $0 marketing strategy most dentists ignore

Published 20 days ago • 4 min read

You already have everything you need to grow your aligner practice.

It is sitting in your schedule right now.

Most dentists spend hundreds or thousands of dollars every month trying to bring in new patients. Ads. Mailers. SEO. And all of it to find someone who has never heard of them.

Meanwhile the patients who already trust them, already like them, already show up every six months, are leaving without ever being offered aligners.

That is not a marketing problem. That is a conversation problem.

The number one source of aligner cases for the practices I work with is not paid ads. It is existing patients who were simply asked at the right time in the right way.

It does not cost anything. It does not require a campaign. It requires one thing: a system for bringing it up consistently so it does not fall through the cracks.

Most offices do not have that system. The doctor mentions aligners when they remember to. The team never brings it up at all. And patients who would have said yes walk out the door and never think about it again.

The practices that do this well have made it part of every hygiene visit. Every new patient exam. Every recall appointment. Not as a hard sell. As a simple observation.

"Have you ever thought about straightening your teeth?"

That one question, asked consistently, changes everything.

Talk soon,

P.S. If you want to build a real aligner practice and not just do the occasional case, the Bootcamp is where it starts. Two days. Real patients. Real results. Spots are almost gone.

Most dentists track the wrong things. Production. Collections. New patients per month. These are real numbers but they do not tell you why your aligner program is working or why it is not. The number that actually tells you everything is your case acceptance rate. Out of every patient you present aligners to, how many say yes? That is it. That is the whole scorecard. If you do not know that number off the top of your head, you do not have a system. You have a series of random events that...

I want to tell you something that took me a while to see. The doctor is not the reason most aligner cases fall apart. The team is. Not because they are doing anything wrong. Because no one ever trained them on what to do right. Here is what happens in most offices. The patient sits down. The doctor does the exam, sees a great aligner candidate, presents the case, and the patient says they will think about it. The doctor moves on. What the doctor does not know is that when the patient checked...

Every year dentists spend thousands of dollars going to conferences. The flight. The hotel. The registration fee. Time away from the practice. And most of them come home with a notebook full of ideas and a schedule that looks exactly the same as it did before they left. I get it. The energy at these events is real. The speakers are sharp. The conversations in the hallway are worth more than the sessions themselves sometimes. I love that environment. But there is a question I started asking...
