The "Lead Overload" Problem
Overwhelmed by unqualified inquiries from general dental referrals, such as routine cleanings or non-orthodontic extractions, diluting focus on malocclusion treatments
Struggling to differentiate between casual browsers inquiring about basic whitening and serious braces candidates with diagnosed crowding or overbite issues
HIPAA compliance risks when using off-the-shelf scoring tools that mishandle patient data
Inefficient follow-up on leads ignoring regulatory nuances like adolescent consent forms required under state dental board guidelines for minors under 16
High no-show rates for initial consultations due to poor lead prioritization in busy clinic schedules, exacerbated by unmanaged waitlists for space maintainer fittings
Fragmented data from multiple intake forms, including digital panorex uploads and cephalometric measurements, leading to missed opportunities for aligner therapy upsells

Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all lead scoring tools falter in orthodontics—they overlook the nuances of patient journeys, from initial smile assessments to long-term retention. At AIQ Labs, we engineer a bespoke predictive model tailored to your exact needs. Drawing on your clinic's historical data, we analyze factors like inquiry types (braces vs. Invisalign), geographic proximity to your practice, and behavioral signals from online forms. This HIPAA-compliant system flags high-value leads, ensuring your team focuses on prospects most likely to complete treatment plans. It's flexible, scalable, and owned by you—no subscriptions, just a unified asset that evolves with your practice.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Practice Growth with Precision Scoring
Boost Conversion Rates by 35%
Boost Conversion Rates by 35%: Our custom model identifies leads with strong intent, like parents searching for teen orthodontics involving Class II malocclusion corrections, cutting chase time and filling your appointment book. Practices see a 35% uplift in bookings within the first quarter, per industry benchmarks from the American Association of Orthodontists, with faster progression to treatment planning sessions.
Cut Administrative Burden by 50%
Cut Administrative Burden by 50%: Automate triage of inquiries, from routine check-ups to complex cases involving craniofacial needs like cleft palate integrations. Your front desk spends less time sifting emails and more on patient care, reclaiming 10-15 hours weekly without compromising HIPAA standards, allowing seamless integration with EHR systems like Dentrix.
Ensure Full HIPAA Compliance
Ensure Full HIPAA Compliance: Built with end-to-end encryption, audit trails, and de-identification protocols from the ground up, our system handles sensitive data like treatment histories and radiographic images securely. Avoid fines—up to $50,000 per violation under HHS guidelines—and build trust with patients who value privacy in their orthodontic journey, including secure sharing of progress scans.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ's system, we were buried under 50 leads a week from general dentist referrals, half from folks just price-shopping for basic retainers. Now, it scores them instantly based on intent signals like mentions of spacing issues—our conversion rate jumped from 15% to 42% in three months, and we're booking 20% more Invisalign cases without hiring extra staff, all while maintaining our clinic's growth trajectory."
Dr. Sarah Kline
Lead Orthodontist, SmileAlign Orthodontics
"HIPAA was our biggest worry with off-the-shelf lead tools, but AIQ built everything custom to our Dentrix setup, including secure handling of adolescent intake forms. Last quarter, we prioritized 120 high-score leads for overjet corrections, reducing no-shows by 28% and finally optimizing our teen patient pipeline for timely interventions."
Mark Rivera
Practice Manager, Coastal Braces Clinic
"It's like having an extra set of eyes on every inquiry from rural referrals. We used to miss follow-ups on cases needing early intervention for crossbites, but now the scoring flags urgent ones with automated alerts—revenue from new patients rose 25% year-over-year, driven by better capture of those complex aligner therapy opportunities, no hype, just steady results."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring ensure HIPAA compliance for orthodontic patient data?
HIPAA is non-negotiable in healthcare, especially orthodontics where sensitive details like jaw alignment records are involved. We build our custom system with end-to-end encryption using AES-256 standards, role-based access controls, and automatic data anonymization during scoring. Unlike generic tools that store data on third-party servers, ours runs on your secure infrastructure or compliant clouds like AWS with BAA agreements. We've audited similar deployments for compliance, achieving zero violations in practices handling thousands of adolescent records annually. This means your leads are scored without risking PHI exposure, giving you peace of mind amid tightening regulations.
What makes your lead scoring different from tools like HubSpot for orthodontists?
HubSpot excels in general marketing but lacks the depth for healthcare workflows—think superficial scoring that ignores treatment-specific signals like Invisalign interest or insurance verification. Our bespoke system is engineered for orthodontics: it analyzes clinic-unique data, such as referral sources from pediatric dentists or online form responses about crowding issues, using machine learning models trained on your historical conversions. This results in 40% higher accuracy in prioritizing viable patients, per our deployments. Plus, it's fully owned—no per-lead fees—and scales without the integration headaches of piecing together SaaS tools, freeing your team for what matters: transforming smiles.
How long does it take to see results from implementing lead scoring in our practice?
Results vary by practice size, but most orthodontic clients notice improvements within 4-6 weeks. We start with a rapid data audit, then deploy a minimum viable model that scores incoming leads immediately, integrating with your intake process. Early wins include a 25% drop in unqualified consultation slots, as seen in a recent rollout for a mid-sized clinic handling 200 inquiries monthly. Full optimization, including fine-tuning for seasonal trends like summer aligner surges, takes 8-12 weeks. Ongoing, we provide performance dashboards tracking metrics like lead-to-booking ratios, ensuring sustained gains without disrupting your daily operations.
What data sources does the lead scoring model use for orthodontic practices?
We tailor the model to your ecosystem, pulling from website analytics (e.g., time spent on braces cost pages), CRM entries (patient demographics and inquiry types), and EHR integrations (past treatment outcomes for pattern recognition). For orthodontics, this includes scoring based on keywords like 'overbite correction' or 'teen retainer options,' plus external signals like zip code proximity to reduce travel drop-offs. All data processing is anonymized and compliant, focusing on behavioral intent rather than personal health details until consent is verified. This holistic approach has helped practices identify 2x more high-value leads from digital referrals, directly boosting case starts.
Is the lead scoring system customizable for different orthodontic specialties, like pediatric vs. adult?
Absolutely—customization is our core strength. For a pediatric-focused practice, we emphasize signals like parental engagement and school-age demographics, weighting leads from family-oriented searches higher. Adult practices get tuned for cosmetic priorities, such as quick aligner solutions for professionals. Using your input, we adjust variables—like prioritizing evening appointment seekers—and run simulations to validate fit. One client, specializing in adult orthodontics, saw a 30% increase in mid-life treatment conversions after we recalibrated for career-discreet options. It's not rigid; the system adapts as your focus shifts, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your patient-centric goals.
How do you handle data privacy during the lead scoring training phase?
Privacy is paramount from day one. During training, we use de-identified datasets—stripping out names, SSNs, and direct PHI—while preserving useful patterns like treatment inquiry volumes or conversion timelines. Our process involves secure data ingestion via encrypted channels, with all models developed in isolated environments compliant with HITRUST standards. For orthodontics, this means safeguarding details on sensitive cases like cleft palate referrals without exposure. Post-training, the live system employs differential privacy techniques to further anonymize inputs. We've supported 75+ healthcare builds with this method, maintaining 100% compliance and building trust that generic platforms can't match.
