Board-certified orthodontist Dr. Maz Moshiri (University of Missouri–Kansas City, Moshiri Orthodontics) joins Ortho Takes to share his spiciest opinions on the field. From declaring that “aligners suck” (kind of) to reflecting on the pendulum swing away from their once-unquestioned popularity, Dr. Moshiri breaks down where aligners still work, where they fall short, and why more patients seem hesitant to choose them. It’s a conversation about hype, biomechanics, and getting back to what works.
