The hidden upside of aligners


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.

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.

Doing something new is hard. Not because you are bad at it. Not because you are incapable. It is hard because you do not know what you are doing yet. That sounds obvious, but most of us forget it. We expect confidence before competence. We want clarity before reps. We want certainty before starting. That is not how learning works. When you do not know how to do something, your brain looks for reasons to stop. This feels risky. What if I mess it up? What if I look stupid? What if I fail? So...

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...

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.
