[QUOTE="TheElusiveSasquatch, post: 300628, member: 21333"] Rkm- With SDC, the only patients I’ve had with them already were in it before I met them. But they have a clever marketing team. If anything it’s gotten me to think about how to produce aligners cheaper so I can be competitive. For now I haven’t lost Invisalign patients to them. In the end the cost savings benefit the patients. I’d rather provide aligners at $200 cost and sell for $2200 vs pay $1400 and sell for $3400. Better for the patients because they save money and if I’m doing it instead of SDC for the same price, better for the patient. Complex cases SDC is useless and those cases still require the full Invisalign fee. Holly- Re:losing money on $200/arch lab fee... the office that does dentures is Medicaid. They pay $400/arch. 4 visits for $400 with $250 in costs (materials in addition to lab),you can start to see it not make sense. For my hybrids that I convert to immediate loads I pay $350-400/arch. Simply Can’t do that for the Medicaid ones tho :( [/QUOTE]
