Dentists have an ego problem.


Most dentists think we need to do it all.

We are prideful.

We think we are the best.

We assume everyone else should just figure it out.

We are wrong.

People do not need more operators.

They need leadership.

Leadership is not doing the work.

Leadership is showing people what good looks like and guiding them there.

You cannot expect a new hire to know what to do.

You cannot expect them to know the difference between right and wrong.

You have to onboard them so they understand what is required and what success actually looks like.

I learned this lesson the hard way with Aligner Blueprint.

When doctors enrolled, I assumed it was obvious.

You buy the course.

You watch the videos.

You apply what you learn.

You ask questions if you get stuck.

Sounds logical.

Humans do not work like that.

We need reminders.

We need guidance.

We need direction.

And we need it more than once.

When we installed a real onboarding system, everything changed.

Course completion rates went from around 30 percent to over 70 percent.

That is not because the content changed.

It is because people were actually consuming it.

More consumption led to more implementation.

More implementation led to more success.

That is the difference between leadership and operations.

The bottom line: Do not expect people to figure it out. Lead them through it.

If you are already in our program and have not finished, use this as your reminder to go do that.

If you are not in yet but are curious what a guided system looks like...

We just opened spots for our next Clear Aligner Confidence Bootcamp in Austin.

Over 67% of dentists who attend start a case within the first week back in practice.

Something changed earlier this year. Dentists who were running ads that worked started seeing their numbers fall apart. Higher cost per lead. Lower conversions. Same budget. Same offer. Same everything. And most of them had no idea why. Meta rolled out a major update to its ad delivery system. They call it Andromeda. It changed how ads get matched to audiences at a fundamental level. The algorithm got smarter in some ways and completely disrupted performance in others. I know because I felt...

I remember the day I told a patient I had trained with some of the best educators in dentistry. She smiled. Then she asked if I could fix the gap in her front teeth. That was the moment I realized something most dentists figure out too late. Your patients do not know what Spear is. They do not know Kois. They have never heard of Pankey or Dawson. And even if they had, it would not change their decision to say yes or no to treatment. What they care about is simple. Do I trust this person? Do...

One of the things I get asked a lot by dentists is: "Does social media actually matter for a dental practice?" The answer is yes — but only when it’s done the right way. Some dentists are already doing this incredibly well. Doctors like Joyce the Dentist, Dr. Tejas Patel, Dr. Jordan Brown and Dr. Joy are great examples. They’re not just posting random content. They’re using social media to clearly communicate three things: • Who they are• Why they do what they do• How they help patients...
