David Galler taught most of us how to do Invisalign. I teach how to make a lot of money doing Invisalign.
Komassa changed her smile in just 7 months. With no more then 3 hours of total chair time start to finish, and less then 25 minutes of total doctor time. She paid a total of $3776 for Invisalign and a set of Vivera retainers. I paid the lab $2479. And I made over $825 each hour of chair time. Most DCM protocol cases are right about $1000 an hour.
While it’s not a perfect ending, it’s good enough to change Komassa’s life. And even though she has an HMO and I don’t participate with any insurance, she if now a lifetime patient who pays out of pocket for quality dentistry and refers others to do the same. And will buy future retainers from her favorite dentist. Mental and financial reward all amped up to get a lot more out of time.
This is what I teach dentists just like you to do everyday.
Platinum Plus to Platinum Plus with a shitload more profit!
Meet Adam. He's been a patient of mine for 10 years. He is my second Invisalign case. I got my first iTero April 2021 and started Invisalign in May 2021. Took Re-engage July 2021. First AACA 2022. Bought second iTero August 2022. Took CAT Teen Residency December 2022 and now DCM 2023!
I didn't know what the heck I was doing. Adam had no complaints. No CC. No questions. And I convinced him that his bite can be improved by not wearing down more teeth. I told him he may need more crowns if his bite is not fixed. He'd get his nose pierced if I proposed it! Oh Geez! He was happy with the result after the first round. He was fine with the second round especially after 30 more additional aligners. I was not sure and not happy with the outcome. Nah- he didn't achieve anterior clearance. So I put him through two refinement hell to satisfy my inner dentist perfection and lack of knowledge.
15 months of treatment. 14 appointments!! The party started on 5/11/21 and ended 8/23/22. Every Invisalign appointment was booked for one hour chairside time in the Overflow/Invisalign room. Dumb Dumb Dumb
7 ClinChecks 14 hours of chairtime Total income: Comprehensive case treatment: $4995-(1899+ 288~ lab fees) = $2807 My income: $200.5 per hour!! What a Joke!
I did everything the dumb hard way. With DCM- protocols, my chairside time and treatment time would obviously by cut by 75% at least! Also- just F#$^$ stop and go into retainers when patient is happy and done with aligners!!!!
Also- I know not to rely on cartoon clinchecks and the techs. I am more educated on predictable clinical outcomes.
Since DCM- I have implemented post-op photos, Selfie photo, review and referral requests. Adam is relieved. He's happy. I think he still likes me. He still comes in for his recare with his wife and 2 kids
I am laughing as I review this case. I still have a long way to go. I thank each one of you especially Dr. Wollock for kicking common sense and educational ways to improve and change lives!

Inv Profit: was $403/hr, with DCM $700/hr wanted to share a case that I had taken on when I did not know enough to know I didn’t know enough blindly accepting first clincheck. I think we call this unconscious incompetence.
Peter is a truck driver from the UK. He moved to FL and wanted to fix his teeth. Apparently ortho is not a thing in the UK. At the time, I had not taken a Reengage and I figured I would just trust the algorithm on this one (or the tech I should say.) I had not truly had an Invisalign case go sideways on me at this point. If I could go back and do this case again. I would change just about everything. I would not move molars, no posterior IPR, better anchorage w attachments, fewer visits, no changing attachments mid stream, staging the IPR better, I would’ve added some IPR to upper arch to reduce OJ. Just too many things to list. I had a lucky break looking back on this one. Somehow got to finish without any refinements, pt was happy and we were done.
24 aligners total 2 week wear time (some over) approx 1 year treatment.
8 visits
7/7/19 - 7/20/20
Total chair time ~7 hours around 4 hours Dr time on schedule Case fee 5,000 including retainers.. lab bill = 2179 = 2821ish income around $403/hour of production With DCM protocols I could have probably done this case in 4 visits with much less chair time at new fee of 3279 so likely $700 per hour using what I have learned.
If I had to do any refinements at this time it would’ve made this go into the negatives. I was an associate at the time of this case and not thinking about business aspect at all! So much has changed. Thank you for opening my eyes in this course Dr. Wollock!

This is Jessica. She is 41. She would never smile. We like to joke, smile, and have laughter in our office with our patients, but she would always laugh with her mouth closed. She is a totally different person now following Invisalign treatment and is always smiling! But, could I have achieved it faster and easier with DCM principles? Yes.
I was intimidated by this case, but I have learned over the time through more case acceptance with DCM and introducing Invisalign to ALL patients that these are the best cases. I realize now that the cases that intimidated me the most or I previously viewed as the most challenging produce the more easily pleased and ecstatic patient. The case simply generates a more “wow” factor result for the patient. I can’t speak for all patients, but their expectations are easily met and with much excitement. I now want to treat everyone- big or small issue due to confidence gained with DCM. And, I know how to treatment plan better too.
The case fee totaled 4300 for 5 hours of my time: $4300 - &1900 lab case is 2400 /5hours = $480/hr of profitability.
Using DCM protocols this would have only been 35 minutes of Dr time. This means I am now doing $4114/hour in Invisalign profit with DCM protocols!
We also have a much higher acceptance rate with our competitive advantage fee which has made a huge impact on profitability especially with reduced chair time.

Meet Jonathan –
Existing patient we had talked about misalignment and open bite. Patient abfractions galore and got an occlusal guard prior to invisalign. Patient CC – I just want to save my teeth, I don’t want any more abfractions.
F@ck my life!!!! This case took forever!!!!! You can see why I did not think that CAT was profitable!!!
10hrs and 45min
13 months.
Fee paid $5666
lab fee $2054
Profit: $3612
Profit per hour: $328/hr
Doctor time: since this is prior to DCM – its ALL ME!!! 10hrs and 45min
What I learned is that open bites can be closed. Believe in the plastic!!! Compliance, compliance, compliance. Have the assistants do the data collection and the attachments.
What I would do differently since DCM:
Total chair time – with DCM protocol 3.25hrs
Total doctor time – with DCM protocol 1 hr.
Total fee: $3476 with DCM new pricing
Total lab: $2175 Profit: $1301
Profit per hour: $1301 THANK YOU DCM!!!!
THANK YOU DR. WOLLOCK!!!

Micheal 25 you’ll
Start Invisalign 10/5/2020
Total chair time: 4hrs30min
Total collection: $5735
Lab cost: about $2000
Profit: 5735-2000 = $3735
About $830/hr
If I do this case today, after DCM training this is what I would SAVE 3:45hrs bringing my time down to 45minutes Which means an u believable $4980/hour

What is required to become a Diamond Club Maker
It really boils down to desire.
I have taken large multi-dentist big city offices who are stuck at Platinum to Diamond. Small rural single 3 chair offices from Gold to Diamond. And brand-new dentists just starting their office with very little Invisalign experience from Bronze to Diamond. All within the six-month course. And while not everyone reaches Diamond, almost all do more Invisalign, do it significantly more profitably, with greater predictability, with confidence and knowledge that they couldn’t and can’t get anywhere else. This almost always leads to a substantial rise in overall practice collections. Which leads DCM doctors to long-term business and financial security. And the only thing that anyone needs to become another DCM success story is the desire to do more, to do it better, and to create happy patient’s that appreciate all you do while significantly increasing your income.
Sorry no DSO offices at this point in time. I choose to serve the small dentist/business like myself. In an effort to help them remain independent and to thrive in this ever-increasing competitive world.
So go up to the Menu at the top of the page and press Apply to fill out the application to be considered for the next class. The sooner you join, the quicker and longer exponential growth can happen.
Let’s do DCM Math
Diamond Club Makers costs around 10k. Which is no small number.
Some ask, isn’t that a lot of money for a CE course? Fair questions, but a flawed perspective. It’s not about how much money a course costs. It’s about how much money that course can make you.
The reality is that almost every DCM graduate would tell you they made a minimum of 10-fold back easily during the six months of the course alone. Many have made upwards of $350,000 to an almost unbelievable million back within those same six months. And none of that accounts for the staggering amount of money from increased income they make over the entire year or even the course of their careers. I know that it’s tough to believe, but this is what DCM graduates consistently report.
Additionally, most dentists have taken a day or two course. They may pay $500 to $2500 for that course. If they spent a day they could have been working. They lost 8 hours and 20-30k in income because they had not been in the office producing. (If you are not making at least 20-30k a day then you definitely need this course). Only to learn a few pearls that makes them back very little and changes almost nothing in their stalled minimal growth practice. If that works for you, then keep doing what you’re doing, and this course is not for you.
But if you want to do something better, if they want to improve your practice by leaps and bounds, if you want a 10-fold PLUS return on investment (understated) in the six months of this course alone. And if you are wise enough to think outside the box you are trapped in. Then DCM is for you.
If you are still unsure, I will happily make you a deal. Pay me nothing now. But since I am investing in you. I want return for my investment. So, you sign away 1% of any and all future practice growth every year over the next ten years. Then and only then will I be truly compensated for the millions of extra dollars I will have made you.
Then there are some that would rather buy a 10k shiny piece of equipment that you use once or twice a month until you forget about it, and it collects dust in the storage closet. Why not invest in yourself. The untapped power within you to produce more. The only thing holding anyone back is desire and knowledge. I share that knowledge. You just need to bring the desire.
Others jump on board with programs like Scheduling Institute. Amazing content and for hundreds of thousands of dollars over time they will make you a lot of money. But why are you paying them an ungodly amount more?
So, you have options:
Continue to sit on the sidelines missing out on your real and true income potential. What’s another year or two? I can tell you it is 100’s of thousands of dollars and millions over the course of your career.
Take minimally effective programs that you miss work and lose more than you make.
Buy some fancy piece of equipment that promises everything just like the other fancy pieces of equipment in your storage closet did. Or start using your best piece of equipment to its maximum potential (your brain).
Pay 100’s of thousands of dollars for something with real change.
Or do what over 200 others have done now. Making them better Invisalign dentists, better dentists overall, and better businesspersons. Sign up now for what turns out to be a small amount of investment in yourself in order to unlock your true potential.
