How can dentists significantly boost their practice's profitability and patient satisfaction with clear aligners? Dive into the world of clear aligners with Dr. Avi Patel, a retired clinical dentist turned clear aligner expert, as we explore the untapped potential of this technology in dentistry. In this episode of the Financial Flossing podcast, host Ross Brannon is joined by Dr. Avi Patel to discuss the transformative power of clear aligners in the dental industry. Dr. Patel shares his journey from practicing dentistry to coaching fellow dentists on maximizing their profitability through precise aligner technology. Discover how incorporating clear aligners into dental practices can increase monthly profits by $12,000 to $20,000, the low market penetration of this technology among dentists, and the comprehensive support provided by Dr. Patel's Aligner Launchpad program. Key Takeaways: ✅ Clear aligners offer a lucrative and accessible option for dentists to expand their practice and improve patient outcomes. ✅ Despite the high demand, only a small percentage of dentists utilize this technology, presenting a significant growth opportunity. ✅ Dr. Patel's Aligner Launchpad program equips dentists with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to start clear aligner cases, potentially adding $12,000 to $20,000 to their monthly profits. ✅ The recent shutdown of Smile Direct Club opens a new avenue for dentists to capture the market for precise aligner treatments. ✅ Embracing clear aligners enhances profitability and patient satisfaction through transformative smile corrections.

SmileDirectClub hit a $9B valuation by cutting out the dentalman… but it just shut down — The lesson? Some industries simply aren't tech. And prob never will be.Pinterest uses data to predict next years trends, and they're right 80% of the time — The 2024 predictions say we're not waiting for milestones, we're celebrating inch-stones.And Shohei Otani's spot in the Dodgers lineup costs a record $700M — But the true value of Shohei Otani isn't on the field, it's in tourism.

Charlie was the guy everybody liked and daily signed off with "Be Good, Buy Bonds and Bye Bye!"
