Hey Friends,

If you’re doing multiple rounds of refinements on every case, it’s costing you time, money, and patience.

Most refinements come down to one simple mistake:

Not testing aligner fit at the first delivery.

The first tray sets the tone for the entire case.

If it’s not fully seated on day one, movement will be off by the time you hit tray 10.

🔥 Actionable Tip: At the first delivery, use a pressure point test. Have the patient bite on chewies for 5 minutes, then check the fit. If there’s any space between the tray and the incisal edges, don’t send them home yet. Adjust attachments or check for interferences before they leave the chair.

This prevents tracking issues and refinements later.

Straight Talk

“It’s hard for me to see the ROI…”

If you’ve ever thought this when considering aligner training, you’re not alone. But the hesitation isn’t really about the training itself—it’s about something deeper:

“Will my doctors actually follow through and deliver on this?”

It’s a valid concern. Many practices struggle with associates who lack confidence, teams who see aligners as “optional,” or the fear that adding aligners will complicate workflows instead of streamlining them.

Here’s the reality—just one case per office per month is enough to make aligner training a smart financial decision. And the best part? Most doctors don’t stop at one. With the right training and support, they start three, five, even ten cases a month. Why? Because confidence leads to action, and action leads to results.

Hope isn’t a strategy. Your doctors don’t need to “figure it out” on their own. They need a proven system, clear workflows, and the right support to turn aligners into a predictable, profitable part of your practice.

When your team is supported, case acceptance improves. Workflows simplify. Aligners stop feeling like extra work and start driving real growth. They don’t just add revenue—they elevate your team’s skillset, build patient trust, and make scaling across locations easier.

The real question isn’t whether this works—it’s whether you’re ready to remove the barriers holding your doctors back. The opportunity is there. Your team is capable. Now it’s time to give them the tools to succeed.

Your Friend,

Dr. Avi
