Hi this is dDr. amanda with StraightSmile Solutions we are the online resource for GP and
pediatric dentists or interested in increasing the orthodontic production or
even incorporating some type of orthodontic solution into their practice
as you all know I'm an orthodontist in for the almost 15 years experience I do
do coaching I've coached hundreds and hundreds of doctors over the past few
years and I would love to work with you so every week I generally showcase a new
product and you know sometimes the different vendors are nicer than others
I love love love working with six month smiles they're my product of the week
they I did go to their conference so I was really excited they were nice about
me coming not all products are cool about orthodontist coming to and getting
trained and certified and they were awesome they were very friendly they
were very nice and well if I met any of you guys at the conference I loved
meeting the GPS they were there and the speakers were nice
so again literally two thumbs up for six month smiles in the past week my product
of the week okay so today they have rolled out this week
the confidence predictable digital treatment planning module this is
something completely different I'm gonna give you the ten-second if you haven't
watched my other six months smiles reviews or read my blogs or read my
pieces on LinkedIn I'm gonna give you the ten second version of what six month
smiles is so six month smiles is braces but it's braces for generally for GPS
because they're going to tell you where to put the braces it's in direct bonding
they're going to support you as you do the braces but now that they have
confidence it's a completely different world this is digital placement of the
braces and and by the way if you are six months miles doctor you can register to
take this please please please sign up for this tomorrow because it was a great
webinar today but I'm gonna basically say it because I can say it that if
you're gonna make a comparison to what this confidence product is with six
months miles it's basically Invisalign assist that's
what it is but for braces
they didn't take any technology there's nothing the same I've seen both it's
completely different the process but it's the same in that they're going to
hold your hand they're gonna tell you what to do when to do it and they're
gonna hold you and and that's what it is but for braces not for a liner so
different but same so anyways what's really really cool and I've seen the
technology is that this is all done 3d technology in terms of bracket placement
and they do indirect bonding with a regular standard patient kit but the
confidence it's done digitally so these bracket placement is like laser precise
I've seen the bracket placement I know how to place bracket so I can look and
tell you if something's right or not or it's even slightly off but I'm looking
at this and it's perfect and but you can still its and then eliminate another
comparison sorry a line I love a line but it's kind of like clinch at pro and
that you can get on and you can say move this 10 degrees to the left to move this
one millimeter occlusal and I think that's awesome
you know same thing they basically tell you and by the way this is done by
orthos this is not done by tags so that's a little bit of a differentiation
ok 3d simulation this they give you a 3d movement like little video thing that
you can play so like a clean shock you can show your patients that's cool you
know patients love that that helps to sell the case so you do have to pay up
front in order to do the confidence in fold a little bit of a difference
between Invisalign clean checks and six month smiles confidence product but if
you decide not to move forward with the case there is a little bit of a fee I
think you gets never reimbursement I don't know how that works with that so
it's a little bit different the process and if you have questions you'll need to
ask six month smiles because this is not my company but that's how it was
explained to me so you basically if you're p if you're trying to sell this
to the patient and you want to show them the confidence plan you would probably
need to collect some type of a records fee or some type of a fee for the setup
and plenty people collect a records appointment so it's basically like
this is like the IO sim like the AI taro element orthodontic simulator that's
what this is like but it's not the same same technology but different but again
it's not proprietary they didn't take it it's completely different if you've seen
it ok so they tell you they have 3d you know placement of the brackets they give
you in direct placement matrix you slap it on it's perfect I mean this is pretty
dummy proof to be honest they have the forum so you know how to pick your cases
so you're giving guidance on what to take what's a referral to the ortho
stand again six months miles if you're an orthodontist out there do not feel
threatened by this because I can straight out and confidently tell you
that they support the orthodontist down the street and right at their lectures
they say some of these cases you want to correct major bites you want to cut
major cross bites you want to correct mid lines refer it to the ortho down the
street and there's studies that show that six month smiles providers do have
increased referrals to the orthodontist on streets so please if you're a
northing and you're listening to this please please please be nice to your GP
who's doing six months Maus be friendly I'm not saying you gotta help them out
but at least take them out to lunch okay and don't don't not talk to them in the
grocery store at Starbucks you know they're trying to help you you're trying
to help them overall it's all the better for the patient we're all talking about
ortho there's just more options now okay anyways so brackets are gonna go on
spot-on you're gonna tie your wire in everything's nice and aesthetic it's
gonna cook it's gonna go they're gonna tell you where to do the IPR when where
how much they're gonna tell you where to put bite bumps if you need them where
when how much they're gonna tell you when to take it off they're gonna tell
you do you need rubber bands buttons anything like that where when how much
they could tell you the case hard or easy so you know whether to do it or not
they can tell you probably how long it'll take everything else all this
other stuff is all included in the standard one too so somewhat of a price
difference between the confidence case and the standard case right now there is
a promo I'm just I'm not gonna quote prices because that's not my business
but they're somewhere in between 600 and 800 ish but I think right now it's only
700 ish for this now that's half the price of an Invisalign case and even
less like 40% of the price of an Invisalign assist
case and like I said this is basically like a this line assist but for braces
so pretty cool you're gonna have much much lower lab fee bill but a very
similar outcome and people are charging the same so do the math it's another
option braces they're not for everyone aligners are not for everyone but at
least you have multiple options to give your patients so hey I've been given the
okay thumbs up from the six month smiles teen just show this video cuz I like to
ask before I show stuff to make sure it's not proprietary so I'm gonna go
ahead and play this it's two minutes you can take a look at it I think it's super
duper awesome and I think I might have told you the billing works a little bit
different then Invisalign Invisalign you're gonna get your clench uck and you
may or may not I think you don't have to pay anything for the setup they're just
gonna go ahead and set that up for you you pay once they fabricate the trays
this one you're gonna pay before you get the setup but I think there's a pretty
big reimbursement I think you can talk to him about it if you don't sell the
case if you want to do it that way I mean it we're kind of like an IO sim you
get it after so ask the six month smiles team about details I'm gonna get in
trouble saying anything I shouldn't say but you could still theoretically
collect like a records fee or a setup fee or a deposit show them the setup
because they can actually have some feedback and how it looks and how it
runs and what the outcome is you could say do you like this do you want this
tooth to come down more do you want your gum line to be more even there's a lot
of things you could do so the patient really can have some feedback just like
when they see a clean check if you'd like to work in your patients and I
always like to show my patients the clean checks and get their thumbs up
before I ever hit that button so that's why I really like this okay I'm gonna
play this it's two minutes so hang in there six months miles has
