663: How to Make Clear Aligners Profitable - Allison LacoursiereWhether you offer clear aligners in your practice or you've been thinking about it, Allison Lacoursiere has tips on how to bring them into your practice efficiently, get your patients to overcome cost barriers and how to make it profitable.

Patients are more educated about clear aligners. You, as a dentist, need to be as well. Don't “kind of” do aligners. Go all in or it can be a big waste of your time. Partner with your orthodontist and you will both benefit. Educate your patients on the importance of teeth retention. Attach a value along with the cost of the aligners, so patients can overcome cost barriers. Clear aligners should be a team effort with minimal support from the doctor. Quotes:“Dentistry has continued to change and evolve and partially during the pandemic I think we saw a big shift. But there is something that's happening, especially as it relates to social media, to marketing, to digital technology where patients are getting almost an inside perspective of our practices. They get to see more. They get to understand dentistry better because we are talking about it in different ways on social media, online, YouTube, all of these places. And so first of all patients want clear aligners. They want that beautiful smile. They can see it as an option now…Patients are knowing more now and they know they want clear aligners. Partially because the aligner companies have done such a good job making it understandable to the modern day consumer. So that's reason #1. Reason #2 comprehensive treatment planning. If we can put the teeth in the right position before we place implants, bridges, crowns, we are doing better for our patients…The third one: it can be highly profitable.” - Allison (3:05—4:10)“[Aligners are] something that [patients] want, so as a general dentist being able to offer something like this to them is really really powerful.” - Allison (4:55—5:00)“If you want to do clear aligners, don't dip your toe in. Don't kind of do it….otherwise it can be a big waste of your time. Go all in. Know how to use the software, whatever software you choose to know. Know how to use the treatment planning and implement it across your entire team so that your team knows why you're doing this. Go all in. The second thing is clear aligners are a team drive procedure meaning they don't go in your productive chair. They don't need a lot of doctor time. And so if you're here sitting here listening to this podcast and you're like ‘wait a minute, clear aligners are taking up a...

Loving yourself into your goals and desires, don't beat yourself up into your goals. The person you will become when you love yourself, is going to be more comprehensive and aligned. Today we had the gift of hosting our friend Allison Lacoursiere, Your Clear Aligner Coach, and host of "Clearly Worthy Podcast". We are going to dive into imposter syndrome and feelings of worthiness when it comes to being a woman in business. Her 4 pillars of worthiness are: 1) Know yourself. 2) Accept yourself 3) Honor yourself 4) Love yourself. It's deeper than self care, or a bubble bath. Allow yourself and give yourself permission to be you. Self acceptance is the most effective and loving way to create new patterns, perceptions, and reality. We hope this episode will give you some love and hope and take some time to be more gentle in your self talk. To connect with Allison she has many different programs.

Self-worth is a fundamental aspect of a person's identity. It is especially important for women and leaders to have a strong sense of self-worth. The ability to recognize your own value and worth is crucial in achieving personal and professional success.  Unfortunately, many women and leaders struggle with self-worth due to societal pressures, personal experiences, and other factors. The lack of self-worth can manifest itself in various ways, such as negative self-talk, imposter syndrome, feelings of not being good enough, low self-esteem, and a fear of failure.  These feelings can be debilitating and can prevent women and leaders from reaching their full potential. However, there are ways to develop and strengthen self-worth, and it starts with recognizing your own value. Allison Lacoursiere is an innovator in Clear Aligner Operations and the creator of the Clear Aligner Systemization methodology. As the founder of Clear Coaching she is an expert in Clear Aligner Systems and helping Dentists streamline their efficiency and increase their production. She is a certified Professional Coach through IPEC and a member of the International Coaches Federation, UC Davis for Coaching as a Manager and is certified as a Transformational Trainer through Lionspeak.

Stay relevant by using video in your social media. Be intentional about the videos you create for patients. Video is the best way to connect with your millennial audience. Using videos can increase your case acceptance and conversion rates. Quotes:“When we think about video content, it's actually becoming the norm for how people are interpreting, understanding, and learning about anything on the internet. And so, for a dental practice who, we're business owners, we want to make sure that we're representing ourselves well, in an authentic way, and helping people capture their attention to understand who we are faster. If we're not using video content, we're becoming irrelevant.” (3:50—4:14) “[Video] has an 80% higher conversion than anything else on the internet. And so, if we think about that, if we want the best website, if we want the best SEO, if we want the best of anything for our own business, we have to use video to be competitive.” (5:13—5:27) “I know in dentistry we never like to say that we're selling. We're educators. We're educating our patients. But the reality is, when we're selling something, it really is just helping somebody make a decision to say yes. And so, really, it is still sales. As much as we don't like to admit it, we're still selling in dentistry. And when we're selling anything, there are about seven to eight touch points for somebody to say yes. One of those touch points can be even before the patient gets into the practice. And when you have a video of the doctor or of a team member of a trusted person explaining the consequences, the risk, why something is necessary, even just explaining orthodontic procedures, it helps the patients have that one touch point already to say yes. When they come into the practice, already, they know you. They like you, and they've started to trust you, which is one of the ways that patients will say yes to whatever you're telling them that they need for their overall health.” (5:49—6:48) “Familiarity allows people to trust you more. So, even though, not consciously, they're like, ‘Oh, you're familiar to me,' subconsciously, you're familiar to them [from watching your videos]. So, their anxiety decreases, and they feel more comfortable when they get into the practice.” (7:07—7:20) “A lot of times, my docs are like, ‘I am too afraid,' or, ‘This is so uncomfortable.' It's kind of like listening to your own voice on the phone. But as soon as you start doing it again and again, you become better at it. You become more confident. And that is

How to Make Your Clear Aligner Systems ProfitableEpisode #531 with Allison LacoursiereIf you think clear aligners are not for your practice, this episode will change your mind! Kirk Behrendt brings back Allison Lacoursiere, founder of Clear Coaching and creator of the Clear Aligner Systemization methodology, to explain why every dentist needs to offer clear aligners and how to create a system for this untapped resource. Don't let opportunities walk out of your office!

The more confident that you can be as a provider that you can treat these cases and know exactly how to utilize the software and the mechanics of the aligners, the more profitable you're going to be, but the more aligner cases you're going to do. And so, the first step for any provider is to, one, decide which clear aligner they want to use, and then, two, get the education around how to use it really, really effectively, because your confidence will be the key to your team getting on board and starting to do more cases.” (6:29—7:12)“I see almost a cavalier approach, like, ‘Eh, I know what to do,' or the approach of like, ‘If I don't know everything, I won't even start.' And so, I talk to doctors all the time between those, and both of those ways don't result in the success they want. The good news is, online education and those communities allow for us to be educated so much easier than we use to be. I was the dental assistant that was sneaking into orthodontic lectures — don't tell anybody. I would have the badge of “Doctor” and I would go in, and in the background be writing all my notes because there was nothing online for an orthodontic assistant to understand clear aligners. And now, there are so many options to be able to get that clinical confidence, to have a community that can help answer questions, and to really have that support. If you're stuck with a case, there are so many providers that you can call on to help you with the clinical aspect...

What Most Dentists Get Wrong About Social Media Episode #485 with Allison Lacoursiere Not using social media is a big mistake. And for dentists feeling uneasy about the online world, today's episode will change your mind! Kirk Behrendt brings in Allison Lacoursiere, founder of Clear Coaching, to explain why you need these platforms, how to do it well, and ways to connect with the patients you want in your practice.

Write ahttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-best-practices-show/id1223838218 ( Review on iTunes) Main Takeaways: Understand your vision and values before showcasing on social media. An online presence helps your patients know, like, and trust you. Be authentic. Don't change who you are when you're online. Create a system for capturing special moments. Don't manage social media on your own. Social media is your digital resume. Quotes: “[Social media] can be just as bad, or as frustrating, or as difficult as it can be good . . . It's just the future. It's the future of the way that we communicate. It's the future of the way that our patients find out information about us. And what I like to call it now is it's our digital resume when we are a business owner. And so, when we want people to understand who we are, what matters to us, and really pull back the curtain on what we're doing in our business, social media is the best way we can do this with its visual platform and with the way that it's reaching this audience.” (4:29—5:10) “[Social media] wasn't always as important. But it's becoming more and more important because our audience has changed. The people that we're trying to talk to has changed, and this is the way that they digest information. And so, one of the biggest things I would say that I see in the industry where we're doing it wrong with social media is having a mindset that it has to be a certain way, or we have to be a certain way on social media for it to be successful.” (5:17—5:40) “If you can understand why social media is going to help your business, how it's going to help your business, understand the platforms that you're going to use to get in front of the people that you want to serve the most, and then know how you can show up authentically, it's not going to feel as icky and it's going to have this very strong purpose to it so that you can really be excited about social media rather than dread it.” (5:44—6:06) “Don't change anything about who you are to get onto social media. Just show what you're doing that is working. Show the great care that you're doing with your patients. Show the fun that you're having with your team. Show who you guys are as a practice. And that's what's going to be the social proof that will allow patients to choose you and know, like, and trust you.” (6:48—7:06) “Doing [social media] well is understanding your values, your vision, who you are, showcasing in a very authentic way what's happening in your practice every single day. What's not doing it well is when you feel the need to only post dancing videos on the platform, or when you're only emulating other pages that you're seeing that really isn't authentic to you. You can always tell when you watch
