What Clients Say
"Before, we'd get frantic texts at 9 PM about loose brackets or severe jaw pain, and by morning, anxious parents were calling competitors. Now, the chatbot handles it all—answered a mom's question on emergency orthodontic wax and pain relief in under a minute last Saturday night, and we booked her teen's emergency adjustment the next day. It's saved our team over 10 hours weekly while maintaining 24/7 support."

"HIPAA compliance was our biggest hurdle with off-the-shelf tools—they lacked proper PHI safeguards for our small practice handling sensitive teen records. AIQ Labs built this from scratch, integrating with our Epic EHR without a hitch, supporting voice-to-text for accessibility. Last month, it fielded 200+ after-hours queries on Invisalign costs and eligibility, converting 60% to scheduled scans—truly a 24/7 game-changer for revenue and compliance."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, Precision Braces Clinic, a boutique orthodontic center in suburban Atlanta
"Our front desk was swamped with insurance verification calls during lunch rushes for Medicaid-covered braces. The chatbot now verifies coverage instantly via API connections, even on Sundays, handling queries on procedure authorizations. We've cut wait times by half, and patients rave about the quick responses—one even mentioned the midnight retainer replacement advice in a five-star Google review, boosting our weekend bookings by 20%."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does the chatbot ensure HIPAA compliance for orthodontic patient data?
HIPAA compliance is non-negotiable in healthcare, especially for orthodontics where sensitive details like bite scans are involved. Our chatbot uses end-to-end encryption for all messages, stores no PHI without your explicit consent, and includes role-based access controls. We conduct regular audits and align with NIST frameworks, exceeding benchmarks—our solutions have passed third-party compliance reviews with zero violations in over 50 deployments. During setup, we map your data flows to prevent any leaks, much like securing a patient's orthodontic chart. This gives you peace of mind while handling inquiries about aligner progress securely.
Can the chatbot handle complex orthodontic questions, like Invisalign troubleshooting?
Absolutely. Unlike basic bots that falter on specifics, ours is trained on your practice's exact workflows and orthodontic knowledge base. It can guide patients through common issues, such as tracking Invisalign tray changes or advising on temporary anchorage devices, drawing from your protocols. For instance, it references real scenarios like post-extraction care. If a query gets too nuanced—like custom wire bending—we seamlessly transfer to your team with full context. Clinics report 80% resolution without human intervention, freeing orthodontists for high-value tasks and reducing after-hours disruptions.
What if a patient needs urgent advice outside business hours?
Urgency in orthodontics, like a broken bracket causing discomfort, can't wait. Our chatbot triages inquiries using AI-driven risk assessment—flagging emergencies for immediate human escalation via SMS or call. For non-urgent cases, it provides safe, pre-approved guidance, such as over-the-counter relief for minor sores. Integrated with your on-call roster, it ensures 24/7 coverage without burning out staff. One practice saw a 40% drop in weekend ER referrals after implementation, as patients got quick reassurances. We customize thresholds based on your policies, ensuring patient safety remains paramount.
How quickly can we deploy this for our orthodontic practice?
We streamline deployment to fit your timeline without compromising quality. After an initial discovery call, we build and integrate in 4-6 weeks—faster than most custom solutions. This includes mapping your patient intake processes and testing with sample queries on topics like cephalometric analysis. Beta launch happens in week 5, with full go-live by week 6, monitored for the first month. Our agile approach, proven in 150+ SMB projects, minimizes downtime. Practices often see ROI in the first quarter through captured leads, like booking 20% more evening consultations.
Will the chatbot integrate with our existing practice management software?
Yes, we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations that make your tools work as one—like braces aligning teeth seamlessly. Whether you're using Dentrix, Orthotrac, or another EHR, our engineers create secure APIs for real-time data sync, such as updating patient records from chat interactions. No more manual entry errors that plague disjointed systems. For example, it can pull insurance details during a query and log the conversation directly. This unified setup reduces administrative load by 25%, per industry benchmarks, letting your team focus on smiles rather than software silos.
How do we measure the chatbot's impact on our practice's patient retention?
Impact measurement is built-in from day one. Our custom dashboard tracks key metrics like response time (aiming for under 10 seconds), resolution rates, and conversion to appointments—vital for retention in orthodontics where follow-ups drive loyalty. We benchmark against healthcare standards, showing how it cuts drop-off from unanswered queries by 35%. Monthly reports include patient feedback scores and ROI calculations, such as revenue from recaptured leads. One client adjusted strategies based on data revealing popular queries on retainers, boosting satisfaction by 28%. It's transparent, actionable intel tailored to your goals.
