Set No Limits
October 22-24, 2026
Signia by Hilton La Cantera Resort & Spa - San Antonio, TX

Set No Limits brings together top doctors and elite leaders who are actively redefining what modern practice ownership looks like. If you’re burned out, stuck on the hamster wheel, or feel like the practice is running you instead of the other way around—this is where that changes. Learn directly from the best, including keynote Ryan Molis of Molis Coaching—one of the most respected voices in modern dentistry and practice leadership. Having built, scaled, and intentionally redesigned his own practice, Ryan brings real-world insight into how elite doctors step off the grind, overcome burnout, and reclaim control of their time, energy, and vision.

Through expert speaker panels, focused breakout sessions, and a high-energy iTero® scan-off competition, attendees will gain actionable strategies for implementing Invisalign into their practices while engaging and empowering their entire team. Joined by Dr. Kalli Hale and Sharon Grossman, co-authors of The Dental Burnout Solution, this event is designed to deliver clarity, connection, and momentum—for doctors and teams alike. Set No Limits.

Her training in obstructive sleep apnea has transformed both her personal and professional career, and she now works with dentists around the country to develop clinical protocols for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and sleep-disordered breathing.

Her work in pediatric expansion and sleep-disordered breathing catapulted her national speaking career. Dr. Hale is the co-founder and Chief Clinical Officer of The Airway Dentists, a group of Houston practices dedicated to ridding the world of sleep-disordered breathing, and the founder and Chief Dental Officer of Toothpillow™. She also leads The SleepWell Journey, an exclusive mentorship group for clinicians, and co-authored The Dental Burnout Solution with Dr. Sharon Grossman to help dentists lead a healthier, happier career.

Her work helps leaders think more clearly, perform at a higher level, and thrive without sacrificing their well-being.


Dr. Summer Kassmel Innovator | Entrepreneur | Mentor

Dr. Summer Kassmel is owner of Castle Peak Dental, Avon Dental, and Ladder5 Mentorship & Resources.

She also owns and operates Vail Valley Dental Assisting School, DA Schools Delivered, and Dental Career Academy in the Vail, Colorado area where she has built a life she loves in the mountains with her family.

Leaving the clinical chair of her offices in 2014 has allowed Summer to focus on scaling and maximizing profit in her 2 large offices, as well as create DA Schools Delivered and Dental Career Academy.

Summer is currently a Black Belt Coach for the Dental Success Institute, where she coaches other doctors to implement elite systemization and control their overhead.

She is also faculty for Dental Success Network where she facilitates the Lady Leader Group to encourage and help other women.

She is passionate about helping doctors build successful practices and lives of their dreams but is especially enthusiastic about supporting women doctors to grow thriving practices they love through her personalized Ladder5 Mentorship.

As the founder of The Airway Dentists and a leader behind the growth of DNTL.LIFE to 300+ locations, he teaches dentists how to increase Invisalign profitability, reduce doctor time per case, and build practices that run efficiently with empowered teams.


Dr. Jenya Walsh

Jenya grew up in the Washington, DC area and graduated from the University of Maryland in 1996. In 2001, she received her DDS degree from Columbia University in New York City. She completed her GPR at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and went on to serve in Atsugi, Japan, and at the Washington Navy Yard.

After fulfilling her military commitment, she accepted a position as a general dentist in a group practice in Southern Maryland. In the fall of 2009, she opened Walsh Dental Care in Lorton, Virginia. She is proud that the practice ranks among the top 1% of general dental offices in the United States.

In addition to being an Invisalign provider, she is a proud member of DNTL Life, a speaker for Align, and a faculty member of Molis Coaching, the premier Invisalign training program for general dentists.

Before Invisalign became her new—and only—hobby and therapy, she loved traveling and spending time with her husband, Ben, and their two boys, Aaron and Liam.


Dr. Carla MillerBrown

Dr. Carla MillerBrown is passionate about growth-focused, airway-supportive orthodontic care for healthy, functional smiles. After 15 years of complex restorative and full-mouth rehabilitation, she noticed a pattern: the problems she rebuilt in adults began quietly in childhood. That insight redirected her career. Today she provides Invisalign® for all ages and growth-focused, airway-supportive care for children and teens — looking beyond straight teeth to jaw development, oral function, tongue space and posture, breathing patterns, sleep quality, and long-term bite stability. Her philosophy is simple: if we can see a problem developing at four, why wait until twelve? Early guidance shapes the arches, guides jaw growth, retrains supporting muscles, and encourages natural development. Every child grows differently. Dr. Carla creates personalized plans for each child's development, timing, and goals.

Masterclass - Implementing Sleep & Airway Dentistry: From Screening to Monday Morning

Join us on Thursday, October 22nd for a special masterclass available as either a full-day or half-day experience. Everything a general dentist needs to confidently begin offering sleep dentistry in their practice — from screening and diagnostics to treatment pathways, patient consultations, clinical workflow, and the confidence to get started. Led by true leaders in this niche of dentistry, this immersive workshop is designed to provide practical, actionable guidance you can immediately implement in your practice. 

This course is built on one argument: you already have these patients on your schedule — you just haven't been trained to see them. Over 14 thirty-minute blocks you'll move from WHY airway-centered dentistry matters all the way to a concrete plan for what changes in your practice Monday morning. Attendees will also gain access to ordering the same pediatric appliances used by Drs. Kalli Hale and Matt Hicks, providing a trusted, proven solution to support pediatric airway and sleep treatment in practice. If you’ve been considering adding sleep services, this may be the most impactful investment you make in your practice all year.

Thursday, October 22


9:00AM - 12:30PMFoundation Through Pediatric Treatment

BLOCK 1 · Setting the Stage — Why Airway, Why You, Why Now
• Articulate why the dentist is the most structurally-positioned clinician to catch airway compromise.
• Recognize the public-health stakes — prevalence in adults and children, and the lifelong outcome chain.
• Adopt the Earliest Signs Doctrine as the philosophical anchor for the rest of the course.

BLOCK 2 · Screening — Every Patient, Every Time
• Build a screening system that captures every adult and pediatric patient — new and existing.
• Train the dental team to see and document the earliest signs from the hygiene chair.
• Walk out with working intake questions and a hygiene-chair sign list you can deploy on Monday.

BLOCK 3 · Diagnosis I — Dental Signs of SDB in Adults & Kids
• Read the adult mouth for the dental hallmarks of sleep-disordered breathing.
• Read the pediatric mouth for the earliest signs of underdevelopment and airway compromise.
• Connect every intraoral finding to the systemic comorbidity the patient already feels.

BLOCK 4 · Diagnosis II — Sleep Tests, CBCT & Referral Criteria
• Order and interpret an HSAT and know which findings change the conversation.
• Use the CBCT for airway-relevant measurements without becoming a radiologist.
• Know when to treat in-house, when to co-manage, and when to refer.

BLOCK 5 · Pediatric Treatment I — Growth Windows & Guided Growth
• Know the craniofacial growth timeline cold: 55% by age 2, 75% by age 4, 95% by age 12.
• Understand why guided-growth appliances work and what they ask of the child and parent.
• Position myofunctional therapy and frenectomy as foundational, not optional.

BLOCK 6 · Pediatric Treatment II — Expansion Cases & Sequencing
• Walk through real pediatric expansion cases and see the diagnostic-to-finishing arc.
• Decide which cases get "guide only" vs guide + fixed vs guide + fixed + aligners.
• Explain Phase 1 → Phase 2 sequencing to a parent in two minutes.

BLOCK 7 · Transitional Dentition & Clear Aligners
• Identify the 6–12 transitional dentition window as a distinct clinical decision point — not just "late peds."
• Decide when expansion is finished and aligners begin, and plan the handoff so it's airway-aware.
• Set up a clear-aligner case on a wide, stable base instead of compromising on a narrow one.


12:30PM - 1:15PMLunch

Live ClinChecks with Dr. Hicks (Included with Full Day Registration)


1:15PM - 4:45PMAdult Treatment through Implementation

BLOCK 8 · Adult Treatment I — MAD Therapy
• Re-orient to the Earliest Signs frame and the screening principle (5-min afternoon welcome).
• Match adult oral-appliance therapy to severity, anatomy, and patient preference.
• Deliver and titrate a mandibular advancement device with confidence.

BLOCK 9 · Adult Treatment II — Adult Expansion & Airway-First Aligners
• Identify the adult patient for whom transverse expansion is on the menu — and the patient for whom it isn't.
• Plan an airway-first clear aligner case so the finished smile sits on a wider, more stable base.
• Set patient expectations honestly: this is healthcare, not cosmetic dentistry — outcomes are managed, not guaranteed.

BLOCK 10 · Case Acceptance — The "Why" Conversation
• Run the consult on empathy first, technique second.
• Connect every finding back to a symptom the patient already feels.
• Have a prepared answer for the eight most common objections.

BLOCK 11 · Case Planning & Workflow — Records, Coordinator, Fees, Team Language
• Run a records visit that produces a treatment plan in 24–48 hours.
• Set fees, financing, and consent so the practice can scale without you in every conversation.
• Hand each team member the one sentence they need to change on Monday.

BLOCK 12 · Finishing the Case — Titration, Retention, Reset
• Close every airway case with a titration sleep test.
• Build a retention protocol the patient and team will actually follow.
• Know when to re-treat, when to refer back, and how to talk to a patient whose numbers didn't move as much as you hoped.

BLOCK 13 · Practice Building & Community Education
• Build the outbound systems that make a sleep practice self-feeding — patient dinners, lunch-and-learns, provider dinners.
• Establish a medical-referral network that sends both directions.
• Find your tribe — mentorship, CE, online community — and use it as a competitive advantage, not a hobby.

BLOCK 14 · Monday Morning + 30/60/90-Day Implementation Plan
• Leave with a concrete week-1 action, plus 30-, 60-, and 90-day milestones.
• Identify the one team member, the one workflow, and the one piece of equipment that becomes your bottleneck — and plan around it.
• Commit publicly to the first patient you'll screen, the first sleep test you'll order, and the first appliance you'll deliver.
