If you've got the dream team, the one you've had for years and love to bits, that's amazing. It's a rarity these days, and you should do everything you can to keep them.

Based on the countless private conversations I've had, team issues are one of the biggest stressors for orthodontists.

I get a ton of messages about this. People are struggling with team dynamics, conflicts, and general frustrations. It's a common theme affecting many of us, and it's something we need to address.

There are more opportunities available for young people today, especially in the gig economy. This means that attracting and retaining top talent is challenging.

Second, how you're hiring matters. Many orthodontists don't have a well-defined hiring process. They're relying on their guts or outdated methods. This will lead to mismatches and ongoing team problems.

Listen for tips to improve your hiring process and retain the talent you need to thrive in your practice.
