What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Quantifiable Gains in Efficiency and Retention
Slash Time-to-Hire by 50%
Slash Time-to-Hire by 50%: Orthodontic practices using our system fill hygienist and assistant roles in under 3 weeks, not months, integrating seamlessly with EHR systems. This means less overtime for your current staff and uninterrupted patient flow—no more canceling Invisalign consultations because you're short on certified orthodontists. Expect a 25% productivity boost as admins reclaim 12 hours weekly for tasks like updating patient treatment plans and managing recall appointments.
Achieve 35% ROI in Year One
Achieve 35% ROI in Year One: By automating sourcing and screening with HIPAA-compliant tools, you cut recruiting costs from $5,000 per hire to $3,250 for roles like dental assistants. Our clients see payback in 4-6 months through reduced agency fees and faster onboarding, allowing reinvestment in equipment like intraoral scanners or 3D imaging without budget strain from staffing gaps.
Boost Retention with Smarter Matches
Boost Retention with Smarter Matches: AI analyzes resumes for alignment with your practice's regulatory-aware culture, including familiarity with OSHA standards and HIPAA protocols, reducing turnover by 28% in orthodontic tech roles. New hires integrate faster, understanding sterilization procedures and patient privacy from day one, which translates to fewer compliance audits and higher Net Promoter Scores from satisfied patients.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we spent weekends reviewing resumes for our new registered dental hygienist position, and we still hired someone who lacked our team's focus on patient-centered care in crowded schedules. Their AI system screened over 200 applications in a day, matching us with a perfect fit certified in Invisalign monitoring who started assisting in aligner adjustments immediately. We've saved about 15 hours a week on admin tasks, and our hygienist turnover dropped by 30%—no more repeated training on infection control protocols every six months."
Dr. Emily Chen, DMD
Lead Orthodontist, SmileAlign Orthodontics, serving 500+ patients monthly in suburban Chicago
"Hiring during flu season was a nightmare; our admins were buried in scheduling emails for tech roles while rescheduling pediatric braces fittings amid 25% no-shows. The custom automation AIQ built integrates with our EHR and scheduling software, flagging only HIPAA-safe communications for candidate interviews. We filled two orthodontic technician positions in two weeks, cutting our external recruiter spend by half and avoiding disruptions to our clear aligner program. It's like having an extra staff member who never calls in sick and handles compliance checks flawlessly."
Mark Rivera, MBA
Practice Manager, Precision Braces Clinic, a multi-location orthodontic center in Texas
"As a small practice expanding into pediatric orthodontics, we couldn't afford delays in hiring assistants familiar with child sedation protocols and growth monitoring. AIQ's tool sourced candidates with specific experience in those areas within days, and the ROI was clear: we avoided $10K in temp staffing costs during our busy back-to-school season. Now, our team focuses on what matters—delivering exceptional care with proper bite analysis without the hiring headache or compliance worries."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your recruiting automation ensure HIPAA compliance for orthodontic practices?
HIPAA is non-negotiable in healthcare, so we embed compliance from the start. Our custom-built system uses encrypted data storage and transmission for all candidate information, aligning with rules for protected health information—even if indirectly related through staff handling. For instance, when screening for roles involving patient records, AI flags and redacts sensitive details automatically. We've audited similar systems for 50+ practices, reducing breach risks by 85%. Unlike generic tools, ours includes role-based access controls tailored to your staff hierarchy, ensuring only authorized admins view resumes. Implementation includes a compliance review with your legal team, and we provide ongoing updates for regulatory changes, like the 2023 HIPAA modifications.
What kind of time savings can we expect in hiring for dental assistants?
Orthodontic practices typically lose 15-25 hours per week on manual recruiting, from posting jobs to chasing references. Our AI automation streamlines this: sourcing candidates from niche dental networks takes minutes, not days, and screening cuts review time by 70%. One client, a mid-sized practice, went from 45 days to 18 days time-to-hire for assistants, reclaiming 12 admin hours weekly for patient interactions. We quantify this during discovery, projecting your ROI based on current vacancy rates—often 30-40% cost reduction per role. It's not just speed; it's reallocating time to high-value tasks like treatment consultations, boosting overall efficiency without adding headcount.
Can this system integrate with our existing practice management software?
Absolutely—integration is our specialty. We connect seamlessly with platforms like Dentrix or OpenDental, pulling in data for candidate matching while pushing hiring updates back into your system. For example, when a new orthodontist is onboarded, their details flow directly into scheduling modules, avoiding manual entry errors that plague 60% of practices. Our two-way API design handles custom fields, like tracking certifications for Invisalign providers. We've integrated with over 100 healthcare tools, ensuring zero downtime during rollout. Post-launch, we monitor for sync issues, optimizing as your practice evolves—say, adding teleorthodontics features—keeping your workflow unified and error-free.
How do you customize the AI for our specific orthodontic needs?
Customization starts with a deep dive into your practice: we map pain points like sourcing specialists in pediatric orthodontics or ensuring hires understand regulatory audits. The AI then trains on your data—past job descriptions, successful hires' profiles—to score candidates uniquely, prioritizing skills like managing anxious patients or compliance with sterilization protocols. Unlike templated systems, ours adapts to your scale; a solo practitioner gets streamlined sourcing, while multi-site groups get advanced forecasting. We iterate based on feedback, with one client refining matches for wire adjustment expertise, improving hire quality by 40%. This patient-centric tailoring ensures the system feels like an extension of your team, not a generic overlay.
What support do you provide after deployment?
Deployment is just the beginning—we offer hands-on support to maximize value. Initial training covers your staff on the dashboard, from interpreting AI scores to overriding matches for cultural fit. Monthly check-ins for the first quarter optimize performance, like tweaking algorithms for better retention in high-turnover roles such as orthodontic coordinators. Our engineers provide unlimited tweaks for the first year, addressing evolutions like new hiring regs. Clients access a dedicated portal for metrics tracking, and 24/7 support ensures no disruptions—vital during busy seasons. Long-term, we help scale as your practice grows, with 95% of users reporting sustained 25% efficiency gains after year one, turning automation into a lasting asset.
Is this suitable for small orthodontic practices with limited budgets?
Yes, we're designed for SMBs like yours—practices with 5-50 staff and $1M-$10M revenue. Our custom builds start lean, focusing on high-impact areas like automating hygienist sourcing, without the bloat of enterprise solutions. Pricing reflects your needs: a basic setup for one role pipeline might run $15K-$25K, with ROI in 3-6 months via saved agency fees (often $4K per hire). We avoid subscription traps, delivering owned code that pays off quickly. A small practice we worked with recouped costs in four months by filling two vacancies faster, freeing budget for patient amenities. It's scalable too—add features as you expand, ensuring affordability without compromising on HIPAA-grade quality or customization.
