You don't know what you don't know...


Hey Friends,

You know how they say you won't know about something unless you try it?

I experienced that moment last month when I decided to make a major shift in the business.

So traditionally the only way I was reaching dentists was online.

I was making youtube videos and instagram reels and writing this newsletter to try and provide free education around aligners.

This is something nobody else is doing and at the time I wanted to be the one to do it because I wish something like this existed when I first started out.

I poured in hours and so much energy that it became all consuming and I decided to pursue it full time.

I have 0 regrets.

But one thing I didn't realize was that a lot of dentists prefer to learn in person vs. online.

(I have opinions on the benefits of those but that is for another time.)

Coincidentally my friend Karan specializes in helping people setup in person workshops/events all over the world.

He told me my audience would LOVE an in person event and it would be a great way to meet them in person.

But if I was going to do an in person event I didn't want it to be like all the other dental events.

Big conference rooms, a bunch of people, and a lot of fluff information.

I wanted something immersive, new, personalized, and action oriented.

This is where I decided to go for it.

I am so excited to announce that we are doing our in person event and it is called the

CLEAR ALIGNER CONFIDENCE BOOTCAMP in Austin, TX from Oct 24-27.

1/3 of the event is already sold out!

Location of the event:

Whether you have never done a case or done a few but have no idea what you are doing with aligners... when you come to the bootcamp you will leave feeling confident with aligners and be able to implement them in your practice the following Monday.

If you want more information about the event - book a time to chat with me using this link 👇🏽

Straight Talk

Selecting the right cases for clear aligner treatment is critical for achieving successful outcomes. General dentists should consider several key factors when determining if a patient is a good candidate for clear aligners:

  • Assess malocclusion complexity: Mild to moderate cases are most suitable.
  • Evaluate patient's oral health: Ensure periodontal stability and good hygiene.
  • Consider patient compliance and lifestyle: Aligners require 20-22 hours of daily wear.
  • Age and growth: Suitable for adults and mature teens; consider growth in younger patients.
  • Set realistic expectations: Discuss treatment duration, potential refinements, and retention.

By carefully considering these factors during case selection, general dentists can identify patients who are likely to benefit from clear aligner therapy, leading to more predictable outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.

If you’re too busy to learn aligners — you’re too busy to grow. That used to be me. I’d come home exhausted. Telling myself I’d “figure it out later.” Later never came… until I carved out 30 minutes a week to focus. Fast forward six months — I had 50+ cases under my belt. Here’s how to make real progress in 30 minutes a week: Block 30 mins every Tuesday or Thursday (before the day starts or after lunch) Start by learning just one topic: case selection, scanning, or scripting Implement what...

When patients say no to aligners, it’s rarely about money. It’s about trust. Early on, I quoted fees and hoped they’d say yes. But once I started asking better questions and explaining why it mattered, things changed. That's when most of my consults ended with a yes. Try these two shifts to improve your acceptance rate: Ask better questions. Instead of “do you want to straighten your teeth?” ask: “Has anyone ever mentioned your teeth are in an unhealthy position?” Frame the benefits around...

Most docs try to get aligners going on their own. Then feel frustrated when the team doesn’t support it. I was there too. I tried to do everything myself — scanning, educating, managing trays. My assistant was confused, my front desk forgot follow-ups, and cases stalled. When I finally trained my team the right way, everything changed. Here’s how to get your team on board fast: Start with a 15-min huddle: Explain why aligners matter (not just for you — but for patients) Front desk = follow-up...
