Why I’m brand agnostic with aligners


When I first started teaching aligners, a lot of people asked me the same question...

“Which brand do you use?”

They wanted me to say one name. Invisalign. SureSmile. ClearCorrect. OrthoSnap. CandidPro.

But the truth is, I do not care about the brand.

What matters is the doctor. What matters is the patient. And what matters most is that the case gets started.

Most dentists get stuck obsessing over which aligner company is better.

They spend months debating marketing claims, lab fees, and brand loyalty.

Meanwhile, patients who could benefit from treatment are sitting in the chair waiting for someone to just get them started.

I focus on the start.

Because the start is where confidence is built.

The start is where momentum begins.

The start is what separates the dentists who dabble from the ones who actually grow.

That is why I am brand agnostic.

I'm not just for 1 brand... i'm for all that help dentists get results.

Every aligner company has strengths and weaknesses.

If you understand clear aligner principles and have a predictable system, you can succeed with most brands.

What makes me different is that I do not teach you how to run the hamster wheel for 1 company.

I teach you how to build belief in yourself so you can start, finish, and grow no matter what logo is on the box.

The bottom line: The dentists who win are not the ones who debate brands. They are the ones who focus on starting.

That is all for today.

If you want to learn the exact framework I use to help dentists start more aligner cases with confidence, I put together a free training:


Video of the Week

In this video, I break down the exact talk tracks and frameworks that helped me go from second-guessing every case…

To confidently starting aligner treatment with patients who thanked me afterward.

You’ll learn:

✅ How to get case acceptance without feeling “pushy”
✅ Why the PCS Framework (Problem → Consequence → Solution) is king
✅ What to say when patients “don’t see the problem”
✅ Why scanning is your best sales tool — and how to use it
✅ How to create urgency without discounting
✅ What “preventative selling” really means (and how to do it ethically)

If you’ve ever struggled to confidently present aligners — or worried you sound too aggressive — this is your reset.

I used to think growth meant taking on harder cases. That is what I saw other dentists doing with implants. They would start with a single tooth, then graduate to multiple teeth, and eventually full arch cases. Complexity stacked, and so did their confidence. So I assumed aligners worked the same way. But it did not take long to realize they don’t. Here is what I noticed. On Instagram, the dentists posting complex aligner cases were not celebrating at the finish line. They were relieved. More...

I once had a patient who kept cracking his molars one by one. At the start I told him it was happening because of his occlusion and that we needed to even out his bite with aligners to distribute the forces. He did not listen. He just kept breaking teeth. Then on the final crown seat appointment he looked at me and said, “I think I want to do aligners.” That experience stuck with me. Most dentists fail to convert existing patients because they simply do not offer it. They feel like if they...

Most dentists believe growth comes from doing more complex cases. That is true for implants. You start with a single tooth, then move to multiple, then full arch cases. But aligners are different. Complexity does not equal growth. Here is why. More complexity means more refinements. More refinements means more time. More time means less profitability. If you want to grow with aligners, you need efficiency, not complexity. Here are 3 levers to focus on: Case selection: Do more of the simple,...
