Dr. Avi Patel joins Dr. Clayton on Dentistry Disrupted to discuss their experiences as dental disruptors. Dr. Avi's non-traditional path as a dentist gives him a unique perspective on what changes are needed in the dental industry to not only serve patients better, but also to prevent burnout in dentists.

Key Takeaways:

• Orthodontics is not just about creating a pretty smile, but also about improving oral health and preventing future issues.
• The dental industry needs disruption, as many dentists are not willing to share their knowledge and mentor the next generation of dentists, so we never make progress.
• Dentists face challenges such as toxic work environments, lack of mentorship, and pressure to prioritize insurance-driven procedures, which keeps them stuck.
• Dental insurance dictates treatment decisions, leading to a focus on volume rather than quality care. Guess who suffers? You.
