Not every AI receptionist deserves access to your practice.

Built for orthodontics specifically.

The conversation flows understand the difference between a new patient consultation request and a debanding question. The agent knows orthodontic emergencies — a loose bracket gets different handling than a wire embedded in soft tissue.

HIPAA compliance as practice, not paperwork.

Signed BAAs with every vendor in the chain. Documented security policies. Cyber liability insurance ($2M coverage). Quarterly compliance reviews.

Continuous optimization, not set-and-forget.

Every call is reviewed. Every failure becomes a fix. The agent at month 6 handles cases the agent at month 1 couldn't. Your monthly retainer pays for ongoing improvement, not static infrastructure.
