Meet Your Instructor

My name is Matthew Standridge and I've been in the trenches of clinical dentistry for over 15 years, with over a decade of special focus on comprehensive orthodontics and clear aligner therapy.

I started exactly where you are now—frustrated with aligner cases that wouldn't finish, drowning in refinements, and questioning whether I'd ever "get it." I jumped between aligner companies thinking the plastic was the problem. I attended expensive Company-promoted courses that left me more confused than confident. I didn't learn a dang thing about how aligners work, just a sales pitch on how to submit cases to the company's portal. Sound familiar?

Flash forward later, I ran multiple successful practices where clear aligners are a cornerstone of profitability—not a source of stress. I've treated hundreds of cases with consistently predictable outcomes, minimal refinements, and strong profit margins. I teach live, in-person courses multiple times a year, and I provide private in-office coaching for practices across the country. More importantly, I figured all of this out in a rural, low-income area—if it works there, it works anywhere.

And guess what the #1 thing I've learned throughout this entire journey is...? 👉 You don't need the "best" aligner company, the fanciest technology, or even more years of experience to succeed with clear aligners... Once you understand the fundamentals—case selection, biomechanics, and proven protocols—the results become predictable and profitable. AND THAT RIGHT THERE is what inspired me to create 14 Days to Clear Aligner Excellence: the first truly company-agnostic training program that gives you the copy-paste systems I wish someone had handed me years ago, without the corporate strings attached.

But I get it, you probably don't really care about my story... Right now, all you care about is CAN I ACTUALLY HELP YOU! Well, here's what I know: dentists who attend my live courses keep coming back. They're getting cases finished. They're finally profitable with aligners. They're escaping the refinement hell that nearly made them quit. The protocols work because they're built by a practicing dentist who's lived your exact frustrations—not a corporate rep reading from a script. I host live Q&A calls for course members where we troubleshoot real cases together. I hope to see you there soon!
