Reflections on 20 years in Orthodontics | Orthodontics In Interview | BJÖRN LUDWIG“We focused so much ontechnology that maybe we neglected diagnostics.” “Anecdotal is inspiring,but we need evidence for the average orthodontist.” “If we don't protectacademic journals, orthodontics becomes vulnerable,  legally and professionally.” “Orthodontics grows whenwe are open, critical, and enquiring.”   In this special episode, I'm joined by BjörnLudwig for a reflective conversation recorded during the few weeks of hispublic speaking career, as he brings his landmark Ortho 50 series to aclose. We look back on two decades of clinical practice, academic leadership,and contribution to the orthodontic community, and ask whether modernorthodontics has truly improved on the outcomes of the 1990s. We discuss evidence versus clinicalexperience, the impact of technology on diagnosis and treatment planning, thepressures facing academic publishing, and the evolving role of key opinionleaders. Björn also speaks candidly about family, health, Oscar and legacy, andhis decision to step back from speaking in orthodontics, offering thoughtfulinsight into what really matters in an orthodontic career.  02:41 – Why is today's orthodontics nobetter than the outcomes in the 1990s?04:54 – How do we improve outcomes intoday's clinical practice?06:36 – Evidence vs experience: shouldwe trust trials or clinical experience?09:13 – When research proves us wrong, howshould orthodontists respond?11:19 – The role of your parents inshaping your orthodontic career14:06 – As Editor-in-Chief of Kieferorthopädie,what changes have you seen over the last decade?17:59 – Do Key Opinion Leaders help orharm orthodontics?21:37 – Quick fire: proudest research, 3best clinical tools, and 3 biggest clinical regrets27:52 – What advice would you give tothe next generation of orthodontists?29:51 – Health, Ortho 50, and knowingwhen to step back Click on the link below to view previous episodes, to refresh topics,pick up tricks and stay up to date.  Please like and subscribe if you find it useful! #OrthodonticsInSummary#BjörnLudwig#Orthodontics#ortho50#TADs#OrthodonticEvidence#OrthodonticsInInterview#FarooqAhmed#OrthodonticBiomechanics#OrthodonticResearch #DentalEducation Farooq Ahmed 

If you've ever felt that little itch in the back of your brain—the one that whispers, "I love being an orthodontist... but I can't imagine doing this full-time for another 30 years"—you're not alone. In fact, you're part of a generational shift. In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I unpack why Orthodontic Support Organizations (OSOs) and DSOs are growing rapidly—and why that's not a bad thing.This isn't about promoting any particular group. It's about being honest with ourselves and understanding that how we want to work is changing. I've spoken to hundreds of orthodontists who feel exactly the way you do: deeply passionate about the profession but uninterested in grinding until age 80. Let's explore the real reason OSO/DSO interest is surging—and how generational mindset, lifestyle goals, and future planning are all connected.QUOTES"The first thought you had when I said 50 years as an orthodontist was probably dread. And that's okay. That instinct? It's normal." — Dr. Glenn Krieger"If you're between 37 and 42, you're not thinking of retiring next year—but you are thinking about what comes next. That's smart planning, not early exit." — Dr. Glenn KriegerKey TakeawaysIntro & Why This Conversation Matters (00:00)What's fueling the rise of OSOs and DSOs (00:36)The generational mindset shift: Millennials don't want the 50-year grind (01:52)Understanding the evolution of social capital and work-life values (03:40)What orthodontists are really telling me in their 30s and 40s (06:20)Why now is a great time to evaluate your future options (07:00)Additional ResourcesIf anything I shared today struck a chord, don't keep it to yourself.

Want to know why some orthopaedic practices deliver faster care at lower cost with happier patients? Doug Lundy, MD, MBA, FAOA sits down with Dr. Gerry Williams to map the strategy behind ancillary ownership—and why control, not just margin, is the quiet superpower of modern MSK care.  The heart of the episode is surgical workflow. When surgeons lead ASCs, standardization and team expertise turn operating rooms into high-performance lines: quicker turnovers, fewer complications, and lower total cost of care. Dr. Williams explains he is bullish on private practice with scale: integrated MSK groups that know their costs, invest wisely, and keep access open by diversifying revenue.  If you care about the future of orthopaedic care—patient access, training integrity, ASC growth, and how to run a resilient practice—this conversation is a playbook. Subscribe, share with your team, and leave a review with the one change you'd make to your care model after hearing this.

Joe shares his family's incredible journey from Hong Kong to Philadelphia, how his parents built a small ortho lab out of a spare room, and how he grew up trimming models on a step stool before eventually returning to the lab after college. He walks us through the evolution of the business—from analog ortho, to adding fixed, to diving head-first into early CAD/CAM. Today, Young Dental is a 26-tech, multi-department full-service lab serving PA, NJ, and DE. Joe talks about the challenges of ortho work in a digital world, the need for wire-bending talent, the rise of aligners, and the struggle of balancing old-school techniques with new-school tech. He also reflects on family legacy, his dad's 45 years as a CDT, and why keeping that generation's knowledge alive matters more than ever. As NADL President, Joe dives into board service, workforce development, collaboration across organizations, and his goal of connecting labs and vendors more effectively. Plus, he gives an honest look at what it's like to step into leadership, find your voice, and leave a legacy for the next wave of techs. Of course, it wouldn't be a VFTB episode without gifts, jokes, accidental innuendo, and a rapid-fire Q&A that reveals Barb's love of tomahawks and Elvis's dream of 88-degree weather. Happy Holidays from Ivoclar! As the year comes to a close, all of us at Ivoclar want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible Voices From the Bench community.

Do you have a “hopeless” retained root you're ready to extract? Think implants, dentures, or bridges are the only way forward? What if there's a way to save that tooth — predictably and biologically? In this episode, Dr. Vala Seif shares his experience with the Surgical Extrusion Technique — a game-changing approach that lets you reposition the root coronally to regain ferrule and restore teeth once thought impossible to save. Jaz and Dr. Seif dive into case selection, atraumatic technique, stabilization, and timing, all guided by Dr. Seif's own SAFE/SEIF Protocol, developed from over 200 successful cases. https://youtu.be/2TyodqgAP9w Watch PDP249 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: When checking a ferrule, consider height, thickness, and location of functional load. Upper teeth: prioritize palatal ferrule. Lower teeth: prioritize buccal. Tip: do a partial surgical extrusion, rotate the tooth 180°, then stabilize. Key Takeaways Surgical extrusion is a technique-sensitive procedure that requires careful planning. Case selection is crucial for the success of surgical extrusion. A crown-root ratio of 1:1 is ideal for surgical extrusion. Patients are often more cooperative when they see surgical extrusion as their last chance to save a tooth. Surgical extrusion can be more efficient than orthodontic extrusion in certain cases. The importance of ferrule in dental restorations cannot be overstated. Proper case selection is crucial for successful outcomes. Atraumatic techniques are essential for preserving tooth structure. The 'Safe Protocol' offers a structured approach to surgical extrusion. Patient communication is key to managing expectations. Flowable composite is preferred for tooth fixation post-extraction. Understanding root morphology is important for successful extractions.

AI has officially scrubbed in — and it's already working behind the scenes in medicine in ways most of us don't even realize. In this episode of The Breakdown, host Lauren sits down with Dr. Michael Rivlin, a leading hand and wrist surgeon and AI innovator, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming orthopedics — from patient care to research and beyond. Along the way, meet their AI sidekicks — “Chatty” and “Monday” — and find out whether being nice to your AI actually makes it perform better. One thing's for sure: we're only scratching the surface of what's coming, and things are moving fast.

In this Five Minute Friday, I challenge orthodontists to rethink their mindset around fees, value, and confidence. Are you charging based on time, or on the value you deliver? Do you feel hesitant to raise fees because you fear what patients might say—or worse, because your treatment coordinator feels uncomfortable presenting them?I share two legendary pricing stories—one involving Picasso, the other Henry Ford—and what they teach us about expertise, perception, and worth. I also tell the story of how a respected peer pushed me to rethink what I charge for surgical ortho cases—and why you should, too. If you want to be seen as the clinical expert you are, it starts with owning the value you bring to the table and making sure your team believes in it too.QUOTES“You're not doing braces in 18 months—you're doing it in the 11 years of training and the decade or two of experience that followed.”– Dr. Glenn Krieger“If your TC sees $6,000 as more money than they've ever had in the bank, that fee will feel uncomfortable—and your case acceptance will suffer.”– Dr. Glenn KriegerKey TakeawaysIntro: Time-based vs. value-based fees (00:00)Why orthodontists struggle with charging what they're worth (01:10)The Picasso and Henry Ford pricing stories (02:00)Understanding the return on your educational investment (03:25)Why surgical cases deserve a five-figure fee (04:20)How your TC's money mindset affects case acceptance (05:35)Action step: Align confidence between doctor and TC (06:40)Additional ResourcesI've seen firsthand how undercharging can undermine your brand, your confidence, and your case acceptance.If you're ready to present your fees with clarity, alignment, and conviction—start by having an honest conversation with your TC.

“IT'S SHOWTIME!“Happy Halloween everyone! We hope you have a good night on the best holiday on the planet, and to celebrate we are releasing an spooky themed episode, just a year and some change after recording it! This episode will be on, Beetlejuice (1988,) directed by Tim Burton, starring Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, and Michael Keaton as the titular character himself!Tim Burton was the director for the odd ducks in our formative years, but what is it like revisiting peak Burton? Before the dark times, before the live-action Alice in Wonderlands? We talk about the classic Burton aesthetic that really came to fruition in what would be his second feature-length film. We talk about it's charm, but also how problematic parts of it are when considering some rather tone deaf takes he's had later on in his career. Tim Burton is no saint, but he's not the most controversial person in the film, not that it's a competitionIt wouldn't be Beetlejuice without Michael Keaton though. His performance has definitely withstood the test of time, even if some of the things his character are doing are definitely inappropriate and perhaps not as funny as we once thought they were. Keaton takes his limited screen time and created a character that got his own animated show, where he was retconned into a chaotic good, undead bestie of Lydia. Is the film just the Michael Keaton show though? Absolutely not. The film has an incredible cast and there is not a dull moment on the screen. Winona Ryder playing an over the top goth that fringes on parody, Baldwin and Davis playing the sweetest couple to ever appear in a Burton film to contrast the villainous Deetzs, particularly Catherine O'hara's Delia and her best friend Ortho, played by Glenn Shadix (RIP.) We get into some behind the scenes as well! We talk about the transformation the film went through from the first draft to the final product. The unnamed producer who referred to the film as career ending filth, the behind the scenes romance, the planned sequel, and more! We hope you enjoy this one! You can listen to this episode ANYWHERE you get your podcasts! You don't have to go to Spotify or Apple! If you don't see our show on your podcast preference of choice, just DM us on our socials and we will get right on it! Have a happy and safe Halloween!

This week's Practical Horseman Podcast episode, sponsored by Dechra, is with leading high-performance coach and nervous-system expert Natalie Hummel. She coaches top professional athletes in all sports, but her experience as a former upper-level eventer enables her to especially relate to riders.Natalie started riding at 10 and after moving up the ranks she eventually achieved three-star status and started working for Michael Pollard. But after back-to-back tragedies involving the unexpected death of several horses, her heart was too broken to continue in the sport and the energy and passion she'd felt for riding started to shift toward pursuing higher education.After getting her PhD in clinical psychology, she went on to develop Natalie Hummel Coaching—her personal performance coaching program that aims to help equestrians break through mental and emotional blocks. Drawing from neuroscience and somatic integration, Natalie helps elite athletes rewire their physiological response to stress so they can access clarity, consistency and flow when it matters most.She's worked with a number of top eventers—including Boyd Martin and Hannah Sue Hollberg—and countless other riders who came to her stuck in negative repeating patterns that often surface at the worst moments—the centerline, in-gate or in the quiet corners of everyday life. Through her coaching methods, Natalie focuses on helping riders reset their baseline, release subconscious performance blocks, and compete with more ease, power and purpose.In today's podcast, Natalie talks about her journey from being an upper-level eventer to becoming a coach and discusses the unique mental and emotional challenges faced by riders. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the nervous system, dealing with fear and separating one's identity from performance.The conversation also touches on the misconceptions surrounding talent and support in equestrian sport, the significance of learning from failures and the emotional aspects of recovering from injuries. Additionally, Natalie highlights her upcoming projects, including a masterclass with Boyd Martin and a new program focused on self-mastery and performance mastery.About This Episode's Sponsor, DechraDechra is a global specialist in veterinary pharmaceuticals and related products.

Injection Molding PDF Join Elevated GP: www.theelevatedgp.com Follow @dental_digest_podcast Instagram Follow @dr.melissa_seibert on Instagram In this episode of Dental Digest, host Dr. Melissa Seibert sits down with Dr. Marcella Alvarez, prosthodontist and educator, to explore one of the most transformative ideas in modern interdisciplinary dentistry—pre-orthodontic bonding. Dr. Alvarez explains how this restorative-driven approach flips the traditional sequence by establishing anatomy and function before orthodontic treatment. The result: improved collaboration, reduced guesswork, and highly predictable outcomes for patients with severe wear and collapsed bites. Together, they discuss practical workflows—analog and digital—diagnostic frameworks from Robbins and Rouse's Global Diagnosis, and the critical role of airway-conscious planning in long-term success. Whether you're a GP, prosthodontist, or orthodontist, this conversation reframes how you think about sequencing, diagnosis, and comprehensive, minimally invasive care.

“When we talk about spine, having 7D, which is a highly differentiable product for deformities, I think it’s giving us the basis to become a real player and help to solve the most complex issues into spine,” Orthofix’s CEO Massimo Calafiore says as he explains the future of spine navigation. In this Vanguards of Health Care episode, Calafiore sits down with Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Matt Henriksson for an in-depth interview about the benefits of its 7D navigation in spine procedures that utilizes camera-based technology combined with machine-vision algorithms, the growth opportunities in specialized orthopedics, including limb preservation and extremity deformity correction, and how he built a new management team from the ground up to tackle these opportunities.

How do we know if our patients need ortho treatment? When is the best age to send them for an evaluation? Is there a time tht is best? What are the concerns we should be looking for in our patients. In this episode, we will review some of the assessment parts that are important for the dental hygienist to be looking at in addition to a full occlusal assessment that help us determine the risk level of ortho treatment needs. We are tasked with supporting a healthy dentition for our ortho patients and need to provide education on the signifiance of proper form and function as well as proper care and routine.

This week, Patrick Mitchell joins us to discuss the oft-discussed topic of the "Ortho-bros". Some use it in a humorous way, some as a pejorative, but whatever the case, there are a lot of zealous young men flocking to the Church. Are we to tame them? Shouldn't we be celebrating them? We get into a wonderful deep discussion on this issue.

These M2s made the most of their “break.” Summer in med school: is it beach vibes or big-doings? Turns out, it's a weird mix of both—and we're here for it. In this episode, we get the inside scoop from second-year med students Tyler Pollock, Cara Arrasmith, Anjali Puranam, and Sophia Nopoulos on how they spent their first “break.” Spoiler: it includes orthopedic research, global health rotations in Ecuador, community hospital crash courses, and teaching the next wave of M1s! We're also talking about gap years. Yep, those mysterious in-between years that admissions committees don't actually hate. In fact, they might be your greatest flex. Whether you're curious what a summer research fellowship really looks like or wondering if you'll be the only 27-year-old in your class (you won't), this episode proves you've got options—and none of them are bad. Stick around for pediatric murmurs, shoulder anatomy, and why some med students literally dream in Spanish.

What Happens When Believers Take Different Paths Toward Jesus?What happens when one follower of Christ finds deep joy and purpose in a vibrant Protestant church, while another discovers a sense of awe and sacred history in the ancient traditions of Orthodoxy? This honest and heartfelt conversation between David Latting, a well-known evangelical influencer, and Ben Langlois—better known online as Orthodox Luigi—dives into that very tension: the pull between contentment in our current spiritual homes and a yearning to connect with the roots of the early Church.At the heart of their dialogue is a question that touches many believers seeking a deeper faith: How important is historical continuity in the Church? Ben shares how reading early Christian writers like Augustine sparked new questions. He was struck by their emphasis on apostolic succession—the idea that spiritual authority was passed down directly from the apostles through the laying on of hands, much like Moses passed leadership to Joshua (Deuteronomy 34:9). For him, it raised a challenging thought: “I can trace my spiritual lineage back to the apostles—can you?”When the topic turns to things like honoring saints or relics, Ben offers the Orthodox perspective—something that may sound unfamiliar to many Protestants. But it's rooted in Scripture. “God is not the God of the dead, but of the living,” Jesus says in Matthew 22:32. The early Christians believed that those who had gone before us in the faith are not gone, but alive in Christ and part of the great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1). Far from replacing Jesus, this practice is about recognizing the work He has done in others and inviting their prayers—just like we might ask a faithful friend to pray for us today.One of the most surprising parts of their conversation is the contrast between church structures. David points out how the health of many Protestant churches often rises or falls with their pastors. In response, Ben explains that in Orthodoxy, the focus is less on the charisma of the leader and more on the unchanging faith handed down through generations. “Even if the priest is struggling,” he says, “it's still the same Church, the same gospel, the same worship.” That continuity brings peace to those looking for something that doesn't shift with trends or personalities.Whether you're deeply rooted in your church tradition, exploring new ideas, or just hungry to know Jesus more fully, this conversation invites you into a bigger story—one that spans centuries, cultures, and denominations. It doesn't tell you where you must go, but gently asks: What might God be inviting you to explore? And how could learning more about the early Church strengthen your own walk with Christ?Visit Cloud of Witnesses Radio: https://cloudofwitnessesradio.com/ Questions about Orthodoxy?

Kevin and Zach are joined by star hygienist Maryann McFarland. They kick things off with a competitive discussion about their favorite games, from Maryann's professional-level Scrabble skills to Zach's past as a ranked online poker player. The conversation then shifts to the clinical topic of the day: how Maryann champions the Invisalign workflow in the practice. She provides a masterclass on her process, detailing every step from initial patient contact and leveraging in-office marketing to using photos on a big-screen monitor, discussing financials, and performing the digital scan—all while emphasizing the crucial role of teamwork and efficiency. Key Takeaways: Empower the Hygiene Team: A trained and motivated hygienist can be the primary driver for Invisalign cases, from the initial conversation to the digital scan, freeing up the doctor's time and boosting production. A System Creates Efficiency: The practice utilizes a highly systematic, team-based approach. While one person engages the patient, others prepare financial plans or manages imaging in the background, eliminating bottlenecks and making the process fit within a standard appointment. Visuals Drive Acceptance: Using large, high-quality photos on a monitor is a powerful tool. Showing patients their own crowding, wear, or abfractions and then asking, "Are you happy with your smile?" is more effective than just describing the problem. Make it Easy to Say Yes: Streamline the financial conversation by having payment options prepared in advance. Presenting clear solutions immediately after the patient expresses interest removes a major barrier to starting treatment. Create Urgency (and Follow Up): Offering to scan an interested patient on the spot capitalizes on their motivation. For those who need to think about it, sending them home with a signed financial plan and following up creates a clear path to starting their case.

From analyzing deals and understanding compensation models to navigating noncompete clauses and malpractice insurance, we cover it all! Michael Johnson graduated from Tulane Law School in 2014 and founded Michael Johnson Legal (MJL) in 2019 after practicing in business, insurance, and construction litigation. He founded MJL due to his passion for physicians. He believed they are underrepresented and untrained on the legal and business side of medicine, and felt that it was a worthy career pursuit to change this balance of power. His superpower is simplifying complexity into actionable advice. One legal myth he loves to debunk for clients is the myth that all physicians need to work a full throttle 1.0 FTE to succeed in their careers. He believes that for some physicians, this may be the ideal; however, for others, working something less than a 1.0 FTE may, in fact, protect the physician from moral injury and burnout, leading the physician to take better care of themself and prolong their career in medicine, ultimately benefiting more patients in the long run. Michael Johnson graduated with a B.S. from Auburn Montgomery in 2010 and served as captain of the tennis team. He also competed in the entry levels of professional tennis, junior Wimbledon, and for Team USA's Junior Davis Cup squad. In his spare time, he enjoys playing tennis, platform tennis, golf, and spending time with his wife and kids.  In this episode, we answer questions which you might have on navigating and negotiating contracts like a pro like; How should physicians analyze and negotiate their contracts? What's the difference between academic, hospital, and private practice deals? Compensation: What's included and what should you be aware of? Noncompetes, exit strategies, and termination rights: What's negotiable? Are tail insurance and moonlighting opportunities really negotiable? Signing bonuses: What's the catch? And much more! For listeners in medical school, residency, or fellowship, Michael's team would love the opportunity to do a free virtual didactics training on physician contracts for your program.
