Abstract
This article invites 2 experts having knowledge of financial management: one from within the dental fraternity and one from outside to assist the orthodontists (academic and practitioners alike) to help provide some guidance to sail through these turbulent times. With the COVID-19 pandemic, we are witnessing an unprecedented moment in history that has impacted the entire globe at a never before seen scale. This coronavirus has resulted in a double black swan event where there is a health and financial pandemic at the same time. As orthodontists, you are also corona warriors and part of the first line of defense! But even you would be facing a decrease in patients and earnings, maybe even an increase in your expenses as you are battling through this pandemic. These turbulent times have greatly affected businesses and livelihoods, and everyone wants to know the best thing that they can do to manage and optimize their personal finances.
