The "After-Hours Void" Problem
Patients calling evenings about braces adjustments or emergency wire pokes get voicemail, delaying orthodontic treatment and eroding trust in the practice
Missed inquiries on retainer replacements or loose brackets during weekends lead to emergency visits, higher costs, and increased risk of treatment complications
HIPAA compliance gaps in outsourced call handling expose practices to regulatory fines up to $50,000
Overburdened front desk staff juggling calls during peak hours for appointment scheduling and treatment queries, resulting in rushed patient interactions and potential errors in patient records
Lost opportunities for new patient bookings from out-of-state families inquiring after 5 PM about initial orthodontic consultations or Invisalign assessments
Inaccurate follow-up scheduling for aligner progress checks or post-adjustment reviews, causing treatment delays, patient frustration, and suboptimal bite alignment outcomes

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's voice agent, we'd lose weekend calls about emergency wire pokes or broken retainers—patients just didn't wait and often sought care elsewhere. Now, it books them right into our EHR system, and we've added 15 new orthodontic cases a month without extra staff. Implementation took just two weeks, and it's been a game-changer for our small team in managing after-hours volume."

"HIPAA was our biggest worry with any AI tool, but their custom build integrated flawlessly with our EHR for secure data handling. A parent called at 10 PM about their teen's loose bracket after a sports injury; the agent calmed them, scheduled a next-day slot, and even sent a care tip via text. No-shows dropped 28% in the first quarter, improving our treatment adherence rates."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, Apex Braces Clinic, a multi-location orthodontic center in Texas
"We were skeptical about voice AI sounding natural for orthodontic consults on clear aligners or bite correction, but it handles questions like a seasoned hygienist. After rollout in Q1, our after-hours lead capture jumped from 20% to 95%, directly adding $8K to monthly revenue from new Invisalign starts. Worth every penny for our 24/7 patient access."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the AI voice agent ensure HIPAA compliance in orthodontic practices?
HIPAA compliance is baked into our core architecture. Every call is encrypted end-to-end using AES-256 standards, with audio stored only transiently before secure transcription into your EHR. We conduct regular audits and provide SOC 2 reports. For orthodontics, this means patient details on aligner progress or bite issues remain protected, even during after-hours queries. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds avoid third-party data sharing, reducing breach risks by 70% compared to industry averages. We've helped practices pass audits without issues, ensuring peace of mind.
Can the AI handle specific orthodontic questions like Invisalign troubleshooting?
Absolutely. We customize the agent's knowledge base with your practice's protocols, training it on common scenarios such as aligner fit issues, oral hygiene tips, or emergency wire adjustments. It provides empathetic, accurate responses—like advising on temporary anchorage devices—while flagging needs for in-person visits. In testing with orthodontic clients, response accuracy hit 92%, far surpassing generic bots. If a query exceeds its scope, it seamlessly transfers to your team, maintaining that patient-centric touch.
What if a patient calls with an urgent issue after hours?
Urgency detection is a key feature. The AI uses natural language processing to identify red flags, like severe pain from braces or signs of infection, then immediately escalates via text or call to your on-duty provider. For non-urgents, it offers self-help guidance and books the next slot. This approach has cut emergency walk-ins by 40% for our clients, as patients feel heard instantly. All escalations are logged with timestamps for compliance, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks in your busy workflow.
How quickly can we implement this for our practice?
From consultation to live deployment, it takes 4-6 weeks for most orthodontic practices. We start with a workflow audit, build and test integrations with your software like Dentrix or Orthotrac, then train the agent on your data. Beta testing ensures smooth handling of calls before full rollout. Post-launch, we monitor for the first month, optimizing based on real interactions. This phased approach minimizes disruption, allowing your team to focus on patients while we handle the tech.
Will this replace our front desk staff?
No, it enhances them. The AI manages routine and off-hours tasks—answering FAQs on retainers, booking routine check-ups—freeing staff for high-value interactions like treatment planning. Practices report 25% more time for face-to-face care, boosting satisfaction scores. It's like adding an tireless assistant that never tires, specifically tuned to orthodontics, so your human team shines where empathy and expertise matter most.
How does it integrate with our existing practice management system?
We engineer deep, two-way API connections to systems like Open Dental or Curve Dental, pulling patient data for personalized responses and pushing updates like new bookings directly in. No manual entry—calls auto-populate charts with consent. For orthodontics, this means seamless tracking of treatment milestones. Our track record includes 100% successful integrations without downtime, creating a unified system that feels native, not bolted-on.
