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,

Most dentists think they need to learn everything before starting clear aligners. That belief keeps them stuck. I felt that way too. I didn’t touch a case for months after getting certified. Then a mentor gave me simple guardrails — and I started my first case the next week. That changed everything. If you’re not sure where to start, try this: Pick one patient who already asked about straightening their teeth Confirm they have healthy bone levels and mild crowding Look for cases with no...

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...
