What a week. π½β¨
Wrapping up Angel Aligner Ascend 2026 in NYC and my brain is full, my notebook is fuller, and I'm walking away more energized about clear aligner therapy than ever. Spending a few days alongside Dr. W***y Dayan, Dr. Tara Emerick, Dr. Isaak Yelizar, Dr. Paula Alvarado, Dr. Maria PΓ©rez-Boza, and Kelly Ondovic was the kind of experience that reminds you why you fell in love with orthodontics in the first place.
A few things I'm bringing home to Frisco:
Sharper protocols for complex aligner cases, deeper insight into digital workflows and virtual care, and fresh thinking on how we keep raising the bar at Elate Orthodontics across West Frisco, North Frisco/Hollyhock, and The Colony.
The biggest takeaway? Conservative, evidence-based, patient-first orthodontics is exactly the direction our specialty is moving, and it's exactly how we've built our practice. Every family in Frisco, Prosper, Little Elm, and The Colony who trusts us with their smile is the reason these trips matter.
Huge thanks to Angel Aligner for putting together a world-class event, to the clinicians who shared their work so openly, and to my Elate team who kept everything running beautifully back home.
Back to Texas. Back to work. Better than I left. π€
