Hey Docs!

I’m excited to have Dr. Bryn Cooper on the podcast today! She is a key opinion leader with Ulab Systems, a company innovating the next generation of smile technology with in-office aligner systems. During this episode, Bryn shares that she started with ULab initially because she needed to find a way to cut costs and save on overhead, but she stuck with them because she found a product that allowed her to customize her aligner treatment without breaking the bank. She tells about what it was like when she started using this technology compared to how she uses it today. And she shares why she chose to use a digital assistant. Bryn has some great tips on best practices if you want to do the same in your office, so be sure to listen in!

“If there’s anything I’ve learned through this process as I’ve talked to other doctors that use Ulab, and anyone that sets up their own cases is we all set them up a little differently. There’s no one size fits all here and having that person in your office that knows your way really does help… That’s the advantage because if you’re using a lab tech that’s off site, they really don’t know how you want it personally set up, and you can teach people to do it the way you want to do it.” 17:28

“I started doing these things and creating little commercials or infomercials and stuff like that, and that’s what I love watching and doing, so I was creating that stuff, and when people would message me on Facebook and my videos would go viral, and even friends or family, or just strangers telling me ‘You are bringing light in such a dark area right now, thank you. These TikToks are what’s helping us get through all of this.’ I think that was my drive.” 7:28

“We have this idea that custom is printed and custom is your own prescription, and custom is all these clinical aspects, which certainly no argument, that definitely is custom, but when we think about it from the experience of the patient, custom to a 9 year old, or a 14 year old, or even a 37 year old who’s coming in for braces, custom is designing and creating your own unique braces experience.” 11:09

Today I have a wonderful guest on my show, Dr. Brandon Owen, the CEO and Founder of KLOwen Braces and a practicing orthodontist at Owen Orthodontics Center in Lakeway, Texas. After becoming a practicing orthodontist, Dr. Owen quickly realized that when it came to brackets, “one size did not fit all,” but there was a high price for customization. He saw the flaw in the system and decided it was time to create the change he wanted to see in the orthodontic industry.

During this episode, discover how Dr. Brandon Owen started KLOwen and why it might be the right option for custom bracket systems in your ortho practice. Whether your practice is a start-up or existing, we all know production is king in Orthodontics. Listen as Dr. Owen shares ways to make every case custom without a major compromise to overhead.

“The biggest thing we found and it was actually panic mode from almost all of our earliest users and they started freaking out and it was around month 6 or 7 when a lot of those detailing bend appointments start kicking in in the repose, and they’d say ‘Oh my gosh where are all of our patients today?’ And then they’re like ‘well we’re actually up 20% every month over month for the last year. We’re doing great financially.’ and they realize, they call it the plastic assistant.” 30:23
