Dr. Lee Boyd is a pediatric dentist and practice owner from Allen, Kentucky, a town of just 700 people. He joins us today to talk about how even in a rural practice, he is able to generate massive revenues from the incorporation of orthodontics and Invisalign. 

We discuss how pediatric dentists are the oral-facial growth experts and that we should be doing our part to not only diagnose, but also to treat malocclusions and orthodontic problems for our patients. Dr. Boyd is an advocate for using iTero scanners to offer patients Invisalign (he starts over 100 cases a year), as well as using this technology to show parents different treatment outcomes during the mixed dentition phase. We talk about differences in treatment for both permanent as well as mixed-dentition cases, including how you can use clear aligners for expansion as well as impacted teeth in 90+ percent of cases. 

Dr. Boyd is passionate about education on this topic, and you can hear him speak at AAPD in Orlando at the annual session in May.
