AI receptionist for orthodontists
The short answer
Last updated
How it works for orthodontists
Every missed consult call can be a lost case worth thousands.
A full course of braces or aligners is worth several thousand dollars, and people often ring more than one practice. FirstVoice answers every call and books the consultation while they're still deciding.
- Books initial consultations, including after school hours for parents
- Answers common questions about treatment options and payment plans from the information you give us
- Explains whether a referral is needed at your practice
- Handles adjustment reschedules and retainer replacement requests
- Transfers urgent calls, like facial trauma or a broken appliance causing injury, live to a clinician, or tells the caller to ring 111 if it's an emergency
Try it
Ring a orthodontic clinic and hear it answer.
Play a patient calling Parkview Orthodontics. Book an appointment, move one, ask about prices or ACC, or ask if it’s a robot. It's the same setup your own callers would get, with your prices, hours and rules.
Live demo: orthodontic
Ring Parkview Orthodontics, an example orthodontic clinic, and play a patient. Hear how Sarah handles it, right here in your browser.
Try saying
- “I'd like a consultation about braces for my son”
- “A wire's poking my cheek”
- “Do I need a referral?”
Uses your microphone. Demo calls are recorded and last up to ten minutes. It never asks for card details. Parkview Orthodontics is made up for the demo, and anything you book with it is pretend.
