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.

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.

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger
Orthodontic Smile Design Treatment Planning w/ Dr. David Sarver | Greatest Hits
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if I told you the key to better esthetic results isn’t just looking at teeth—but learning to see the face first?
In this episode of The Orthopreneurs Podcast, I’m joined by the legendary Dr. David Sarver for a masterclass-level look at interdisciplinary smile design and lifetime esthetics. As we revisit his course, Smile Projection: A New Concept in Smile Design, Dr. Sarver gives us a different way to think about orthodontic treatment planning—one that starts with the face, not just the occlusion.
We talk about why the lateral and oblique views matter so much, how smile projection changes the way we evaluate maxillary incisor position, and how orthodontists can take good cases and make them truly exceptional. If you want to create better, quicker, more esthetic outcomes for your patients, this episode will help you see the smile in a completely new way.
💬 Quotes to Remember
“We have to start seeing the smile from the face first—not just from the teeth.”
— Dr. David Sarver
“The lateral view changes everything when you’re trying to understand true smile projection.”
— Dr. David Sarver
