Creating Consistency from Bonding to Finishing with Passive Self-Ligation

Guest: Jason Sherbel, DDS, MS Episode Description: In this episode of the Orthodontic Products Podcast, sponsored by DynaFlex, host Alison Werner speaks with Jason Sherbel, DMD, MS, about his transition to a passive self-ligating (PSL) bracket system to support his growing practice. Sherbel explains that the switch was not about chasing a trend but rather solving specific inefficiencies—such as inconsistent ligation and unpredictable repositioning—that began to compound as his patient volume increased. He details how adopting the Norris System’s 0.020-inch slot, combined with digital tools like indirect bonding and CBCT, has allowed him to standardize workflows, reduce decision fatigue, and empower his clinical team to deliver more consistent results. Topics Covered:  • Identifying how minor clinical inconsistencies compound to slow down growing practices. • The impact of standardized ligation and archwire sequencing on reducing decision fatigue. • Comparing 0.018 and 0.022 slot sizes and the mechanical advantages of the 0.020-inch slot. • How passive self-ligation empowers clinical assistants and improves overall office flow. • Integrating PSL with digital technologies like indirect bonding and CBCT for precise bracket placement.
