Check your own calls, bookings, and collections before you choose call coverage.

How we decide whether the service fits
We look at the orthodontic path from first call to booked or staff-ready appointment request, then decide whether orthodontic AI receptionist coverage is the right fix. The goal is a clear result, not another tool added before the problem is understood.
We first check the orthodontic path from first call to booked or staff-ready appointment request. Then we decide whether orthodontic AI receptionist coverage solves the problem.
Use it when orthodontic practices can already see that unanswered calls, overflow, after-hours inquiries, or repetitive questions are slowing patient response.
Do not use it when the practice first needs to map every open, stale, booked, and lost inquiry before choosing between call coverage, CRM cleanup, reporting, or staff workflow repair.
The practice keeps clinical judgment, scheduling rules, treatment decisions, patient relationship, emergency protocols, and staff review of sensitive moments.

Use public hours only to identify coverage windows. Phone logs and collected revenue are required to estimate opportunity.
The problem is not your staff. It is the hours when calls arrive versus when your office is open.

For orthodontic practices, Aida can book into your practice software, or prepare a request for your staff to confirm, under rules your clinic approves. Approved questions and staff-routing instructions also require configuration and completed pre-launch testing. Review your practice software workflow before launch.

Can answer practice-approved administrative questions about hours, accepted insurance, services, procedures, and location where configured and tested before launch.
Where included in the selected plan, follows clinic-approved staff routing or callback instructions after they are configured and tested before launch. It does not diagnose or determine urgency.
Captures approved details so clinic staff can review and follow up when a booking is not made or cannot be confirmed.
Plan-specific overflow and after-hours coverage where approved, configured, and tested before launch. Your front desk remains responsible for patients and calls outside the approved workflow.

What Aida should handle
Aida can collect clinic-approved consultation details and preferences, then book into your practice software or prepare a request for your staff to confirm.
What your team should still own
Your treatment coordinator should still own case presentation, records review, financing detail, and the clinical recommendation after the consultation is booked.
When Consult Capture is the better next step
Use Consult Capture when orthodontic consults are already coming in but ownership, no-show follow-up, treatment-start reporting, or handoff from inquiry to coordinator is unclear.
Test call coverage, validate supported booking workflows, and connect outcomes to verified practice data.

Use this specialty page as a routing point. The right next action depends on whether the practice is missing calls, losing handoffs, or still choosing the right healthcare path.
Aida
Aida belongs when the practice needs plan-specific call coverage, qualification, routing, and schedule-ready handoffs that can be approved, configured, and tested before launch.

Back to healthcare hubThis comparison uses your practice call logs, booking outcomes, treatment starts, and collected revenue instead of generic dental benchmarks.
Start with the practice's own call timestamps, unanswered calls, callback timing, consultation requests, attendance, treatment starts, and collected revenue. Use those records to identify the call windows and administrative workflows worth testing.
Treat every number here as a planning input, not a forecast. Keep clinical judgment, treatment recommendations, and patient decisions with the licensed orthodontic team.
Scope: this page covers the operational and revenue side of patient call handling for orthodontic practices. It is not clinical, diagnostic, or treatment advice.

Request a tailored demoAida can collect clinic-approved consultation logistics, such as preferred times and contact details, then book into your practice software or prepare a request for your staff to confirm. Questions about treatment options and candidacy go to your clinical team.
The system can collect the parent's question and appointment preference, and can book into your practice software or prepare a request for your staff to confirm. Age recommendations and clinical advice stay with the practice.
There is no universal figure. Calculate it from legitimate unanswered inquiries, booking, attendance, treatment acceptance, and collected revenue.
Aida can book into your practice software, or prepare a request for your staff to confirm. We confirm your system and version during setup, and the practice grants the access needed.
Yes. The system is designed around PHIPA-aware planning. The data flow, processing location, access, retention, and vendor terms are reviewed before launch. Patient data is not sold, and the workflow is documented before going live.
Launch timing depends on the agreed workflow, access, testing, and clinic approvals. Setup includes configuring the approved call flows and testing before going live.
No. It is designed as backup for plan-specific overflow and after-hours coverage where approved, configured, and tested before launch, not as a replacement for your team. Your front desk staff remain responsible for patients and calls outside the approved workflow.
For calls outside its configured scope, the practice can approve a plan-specific fallback such as staff routing, a callback request, or voicemail. Configure and test the fallback before launch, then audit failures and handoffs during a pilot.
Every specialty has different call patterns and revenue per missed call. We configure the system specifically for your practice type.
