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.

Most dentists get stuck in idea overload. They write down every thought, attend CE courses, and collect pages of notes. But nothing actually changes in the practice. I know because I used to do the same thing. I would fill notebooks with “good ideas” and then let them sit. It felt exciting at first, but eventually it became overwhelming. What I learned is simple: ideas only matter if you execute on them. Here are 3 rules that helped me shift from hoarding ideas to creating results: 1. One...

I used to watch minor cracks and crowding “just to be safe.” I thought waiting meant I was being conservative. One patient came back six months later with a cracked molar. She asked me, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” That question stung. I realized “waiting” wasn’t protecting my patients — it was protecting my own fears. If you’re stuck, try this instead: Diagnose what you see clearly and early Explain risks of delaying treatment in simple language Give patients all the info so they can...

Most dentists overcomplicate aligner conversations. I used to do the same. I’d say things like “We could straighten your teeth” or “It’s an option if you’re interested.” Sounds harmless, right? But those words signal uncertainty and make patients feel like it’s not important. Once I started confidently saying, “We need to correct your crowding to protect your teeth long-term,” everything changed. Patients listened. They understood it wasn’t just cosmetic — it was health-driven. If you’re not...
