Case Acceptance Falls When You Do This Artwork

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger

What does it mean to become an Orthopreneur? Hi there! My name is Dr. Glenn Krieger and I believe that in today’s competitive world, the orthodontic and dental communities should be collaborative. And I've created Orthopreneurs so that we can move towards that goal together. Orthodontists are smart people. You’ve accomplished a lot to get where you are, but chances are you never got a formal education in how to run the most effective and lowest stress practice possible. Don’t sweat it! Because we’ve got your back... Being an Orthopreneur means that you’re a part of a community. A community that brings peers together to become the best clinicians and the best business owners they can be. Becoming an Orthopreneurs means you never ever need to practice alone.

Case Acceptance Falls When You Do This

May 23, 2025 • Dr. Glenn Krieger

In this 5-Minute Friday, I’m giving you a simple, no-BS way to boost your case acceptance immediately.

And no, it’s not a new script, software, or gadget; it’s doing less. That’s right. Less talking, less explaining, less time in the room.

The longer you’re in that room, the lower your numbers go. Why? Because you’re making it harder than it needs to be. Your job is to diagnose, not convince. That’s what your TC is for, so trust them, get out of their way, and stop micromanaging.

I’ll walk you through exactly what to do the next time you step into a new patient consult. From how to enter the room, to how fast you should be out, to why this approach changes everything.

You’ll even get a little reality check about why you’re not as important as you think, and why.

Ready to make your life easier, increase case acceptance, and lower your stress? Hit play. Then go do it tomorrow and watch the results speak for themselves.
