As orthodontists, we often find ourselves caught up in the day-to-day grind—managing patient care, running the practice, and constantly juggling tasks to keep things running smoothly.

We are always on the lookout for ways to streamline our practices, reduce burnout, and provide an even better patient experience—all without adding more work to your plate.

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with my good friend and partner, Dr. Joshua Adcox. He is a clinical director at Smile Doctors and founder of "The Remote Orthodontist," and shares his journey from general dentistry to becoming a trailblazer in orthodontic innovation.

Mentored by industry leaders, Dr. Adcox has helped shape modern orthodontic care with remote monitoring solutions and digital workflows. By focusing on his principle of “doing more with less but better,” Dr. Adcox describes how orthodontic practices can achieve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance patient outcomes.

If you’re like most orthodontists, you may already be using these technologies, but you aren’t probably making the most of them. There is no better person to learn from than Dr. Adcox.

Tune in to hear how embracing remote care could revolutionize your practice and your work-life balance.
