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,

When I first started teaching aligners, a lot of people asked me the same question... “Which brand do you use?” They wanted me to say one name. Invisalign. SureSmile. ClearCorrect. OrthoSnap. CandidPro. But the truth is, I do not care about the brand. What matters is the doctor. What matters is the patient. And what matters most is that the case gets started. Most dentists get stuck obsessing over which aligner company is better. They spend months debating marketing claims, lab fees, and...

Most dentists get stuck in idea overload. They write down every thought, attend CE courses, and collect pages of notes. But nothing actually changes in the practice. I know because I used to do the same thing. I would fill notebooks with “good ideas” and then let them sit. It felt exciting at first, but eventually it became overwhelming. What I learned is simple: ideas only matter if you execute on them. Here are 3 rules that helped me shift from hoarding ideas to creating results: 1. One...

I used to watch minor cracks and crowding “just to be safe.” I thought waiting meant I was being conservative. One patient came back six months later with a cracked molar. She asked me, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” That question stung. I realized “waiting” wasn’t protecting my patients — it was protecting my own fears. If you’re stuck, try this instead: Diagnose what you see clearly and early Explain risks of delaying treatment in simple language Give patients all the info so they can...
