Running a practice comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to efficiency and costs.

One of the areas where we can be more efficient and save costs is by directly printing aligners in our offices.

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Bacino from Voxel Dental and Nate Hudson from Renew Digital. Mark dives into how Voxel’s partnership with Lux Creo is changing the game with direct-print aligners. No more models, no more thermoforming. You can print a full set of aligners in about two hours; how cool is that?

Nate gives us the lowdown on CBCT tech and why certified pre-owned CBCTs are becoming a smarter investment than new 2D systems. We also chat about how these digital advancements help orthodontists offer faster, more efficient treatments, including same-day sleep appliances.

If you are looking for ways to streamline your workflow and cut costs without sacrificing quality, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
