The hidden upside of aligners

Published about 10 hours ago • 1 min read

When you solve one problem, you create another.

We see this all the time with doctors learning aligners.

First, they want help with case selection.

Then they want help with case acceptance.

Then they want help with setup.

Then delivery.

Then refinements.

Then finishing.

That is not a bad thing.

That is progress.

The same thing happens with patients.

You propose aligners to improve oral health.

You solve the alignment problem.

Now the patient notices things.

The shape of their teeth.

The color.

The edges.

“Doc, can we whiten them?”

“Doc, can we fix the shape?”

You just unlocked restorative demand.

That dental school dream of doing cosmetic dentistry is now real.

Your patients are asking you for it.

And here is the best part.

They already paid you for aligners.

Aligners are not just a procedure.

They are a practice builder.

The bottom line: Solve the first problem and everything else follows.

If you want to see how aligners can become the foundation for growth, efficiency, and better dentistry, we are doing a 2 day in person course.

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.

Video of the Week

In this video, we'll discuss how you can double your acceptance rate for Invisalign and implement wellness scans in your hygiene protocol. We'll show you how to effectively communicate the benefits of Invisalign to your patients, educate them on the problems they may face if they do nothing, and use a simulator to demonstrate how you can help them achieve their ideal smile.

Why letting go is helping us grow faster

I have expanded my team and I am nervous. We are no longer just helping solo docs with aligners. We are now supporting associates at DSOs too. This hits deep for me. I used to be an associate at a DSO with no mentorship and no guidance. I had to find it and build it myself. DSOs have resources. They just struggle to deploy them in a way that actually helps doctors. That is the gap we are filling. Supporting doctors clinically while working with leadership to scale aligners responsibly. What...

Busy does not mean productive

If you have more than one priority, they are not priorities. They are a wishlist. I used to write down 10 or more things I wanted to accomplish every day. By the end of the day, I felt busy. But I did not feel accomplished. Now my list usually has two or three things. That is it. Why? Because I am clearer on my goals. We think we need to be doing all the things. We do not. Being busy is easy. Being productive is harder. hink about it like this. Doing 20 fillings in a day feels busy. Starting...

Why saying yes is slowing you down

If you want to grow, you have to say no. Going into 2026, you will need to say no to more things than you say yes to. If clear aligners are not the area of your practice you want to grow, you should not watch my free training. You should not sign up for courses. You should not even be thinking about it. That might sound harsh, but clarity creates speed. If your goal is to improve schedule efficiency, then the only content you should be consuming and implementing is content that helps you do...
