2507: Making Clear Aligners Profitable for General Dentists
Description
On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Ben Miraglia, VP of GP Clinical Education at CandidPro, to explore how general dentists can successfully integrate clear aligners into everyday practice. Dr. Miraglia shares how his background in restorative and implant dentistry led him to clear aligners, and why an expansive, non-extraction approach helped him eliminate common frustrations like excessive IPR, too many attachments, poor tracking, and difficult finishes.
They discuss how CandidPro's orthodontist-led treatment planning, remote monitoring, AI-supported tracking, and reduced chair time can make aligner therapy more predictable, profitable, and enjoyable for both doctors and patients. Dr. Miraglia also explains why clear aligners should be a team sport, how to improve patient compliance, and why GPs should start with simple cases before moving into more advanced treatment.
