Show Notes
We are back with another conversation from the pre-COVID-19 days. Long before LMT Lab Day Chicago we got contacted by a orthodontics doctor who is helping labs get into clear aligners. Dr. Amanda Wilson has spent time in private practice and has work along a few big aligner companies. Now she owns StraightSmile Solutions that works with doctors and LABS to help them get into this booming aspect of our industry. Good information for a very popular item with dental laboratories.
