Orthodontists: Stop Treating Airway Alone | 5MF

2026-10-0208:06

What if expanding the palate is only one piece of the airway puzzle — but we’re treating it like the entire solution? I believe orthodontists have an important role to play in airway and sleep-disordered breathing, but that doesn’t mean we should try to do everything ourselves. Expansion can be incredibly valuable, but treatment should start with the right diagnosis — and that diagnosis often requires an interdisciplinary team. In this Five Minute Friday, I explain why my airway cases routine...

Patients Don’t Buy Your “Why” — They Buy Theirs l Live Your Best Life Pt. 3

2026-09-2924:27

In Part 3 of my Living Your Best Life series, I’m breaking down an area that too many orthodontists avoid talking about: sales. Selling isn’t about pressuring patients into treatment. It’s about understanding why they came to you, uncovering what they actually want, and building a process that helps them confidently take the next step. Most importantly, none of this happens by accident. Your team shouldn’t be practicing their sales skills in front of real patients. You have to train, role-pla...

The Biggest Financial Decision of Your Orthodontic Career? | 5MF

2026-09-2513:44

What if I told you one of the biggest financial decisions of your career shouldn’t start with “yes” or “no” — it should start with getting educated? The OSO and private equity landscape is changing quickly, and I don’t believe orthodontists should make a decision based on fear, hype, or someone else’s agenda. If you’re considering an OSO, this could become one of the largest financial transactions of your life. You owe it to yourself to understand exactly what you’re evaluating. In this episo...

2026-09-2225:18

Part 2 of my Living Your Best Life series, I’m talking about one of the most important pieces of creating a practice — and a life — you actually enjoy: building the right team. You cannot do this alone, and in today’s workforce, the way we hire, retain, motivate, and communicate with people has to evolve. I break down the EOS concept of getting the right person in the right seat, including why I hire around core values before experience and how I evaluate whether someone truly gets the job, w...

No Retainer Program? You’re Missing a Huge Opportunity | 5MF

2026-09-1803:34

If you don’t have a structured retainer program, you could be leaving significant money on the table while missing an opportunity to make long-term retention easier for the people you treat. In this Five Minute Friday, I’m talking about something every orthodontic practice should have: a retainer program. Clear retainers don’t last forever, and whether they last six months or five years, your patients are eventually going to need replacements. The question is whether you’ve built a system tha...
