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,

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.

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...

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...
