You're HIDING behind insurance plans


Hey Friends,

I’ve seen so many dentists use insurance as an excuse for why they can’t do more or charge what they’re worth.

They say things like, “I can’t charge more because insurance won’t cover it.”

But here’s the truth—if you truly believed in yourself and your abilities, you wouldn’t need to hide behind insurance.

When you lean into your personal brand and build confidence in your skills, you’ll attract your dream patients.

These are the patients who seek you out for your expertise, not because you take their insurance.

They come to you because they value what you do, not because you’re just another provider on a list.
If you want to take your practice to the next level, it’s time to stop relying on insurance as a crutch and start leaning into your strengths.

Your dream patients are out there waiting for you—you just have to believe you’re worth it.

Straight Talk

Let’s cut to the chase—most dentists waste chair time with aligners because they have no system in place. If you’re finding aligners more of a headache than a help, you might be falling into these traps:

✅ Taking on complex cases that drag on for 12+ months.
✅ Bringing patients back for endless consults to "review the case."
✅ Skipping flexible financing options or refusing to start until they pay $1500 upfront.
✅ Having the doctor handle every attachment placement.
✅ Scheduling inconsistent appointments with no structure.
✅ Bringing patients back every few weeks for pointless “check-ins.”

Sound familiar? These habits don’t just waste time—they frustrate your team and burn through your profits. Aligners should be a streamlined, efficient process—not a constant drain on resources.

If you’re ready to make aligners work for you (not the other way around), it’s time to rethink your approach. Simplify your workflow, stick to predictable cases, delegate tasks, and give your patients the experience they deserve. When done right, aligners can be one of the most profitable procedures in your practice.


Your Friend,

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...

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...
