FAQ
Does the AI integrate with Dolphin Management or Cloud 9?
Yes, our solutions are designed to interface with major orthodontic practice management systems (PMS) via API or secure RPA to ensure data consistency.
Is the AI communication HIPAA compliant?
Absolutely. All patient interactions, data transfers, and storage meet strict HIPAA standards, including BAA agreements and end-to-end encryption.
How does the AI handle broken bracket calls?
The AI uses a decision-tree or vision-analysis model to ask the patient specific questions and request photos, categorizing the issue for the clinical team before they even pick up the phone.
Can AI help increase our consultation conversion rate?
Yes. By providing instant responses to after-hours inquiries and consistent, personalized follow-ups for pending cases, AI typically adds 2-3 extra starts per month.
How long does it take to implement these automations?
Most orthodontic workflows can be automated within 3-6 weeks, depending on the complexity of your current software stack and custom requirements.
