EP2411A | 4 Keys to Orthodontic Innovation

When Does Innovation Create More Problems than It Solves?

As the moat around the one-size-fits-all treatment approach evaporates, it’s more important than ever to be an expert in many treatment modalities to serve just one patient. At the same time, perpetual innovation can sometimes feel like chaos. But when executed with precision and confidence, it can usher a practice into the future of our specialty. 
 
On this episode of the Smile Doctors Off Mute Podcast, self-proclaimed "ortho geek" Dr. Jep Paschal talks with Dr. Scott Law about his background in prosthodontics and the “new normal” of practicing orthodontics today: 
 
• How to cultivate a culture of innovation within your team
• Why it works to let people do what they’re good at
• How the world’s most expensive doorstop gave way to a priceless lesson
• The 4 criteria he uses to evaluate new innovations
• and more 
 
For any forward-thinking individuals looking to inspire a culture of innovation in your sphere of influence, this episode of the Smile Doctors Off Mute Podcast is a can’t-miss.
