Dr. Shuman is the CEO and founder of Cellerant Consulting, a business management consulting firm for dental companies. Dr. Gray is a Washington, D.C.-based dentist who has trained nearly 30,000 dentists in clear aligner therapy.  

Candid halted its direct-to-consumer clear aligner business in December 2021 to switch to a provider-based orthodontics-as-a-service model, growing its network by more than 500 percent this year, according to a Sept. 12 news release. The company said it will soon be launching new features and enhancements under its new leadership.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
