AI Marketing Agent for Orthodontists

Why Orthodontic Acquisition Is Different from General Dental

Orthodontics is a high-value, considered purchase. A new case is worth $4,500 to $7,500 for traditional braces and $4,000 to $8,500 for Invisalign. Adult treatment carries higher case values and longer decision cycles. Parents researching for their kids drive a separate funnel with different timing. The marketing approach a general dentist uses to fill operatories does not work here.

The consult-to-start ratio is what determines profitability. A practice that books 60 consults a month but starts 12 cases burns chair time on tire-kickers. A practice that books 30 consults and starts 18 runs profitably with half the consult load. Qualification before the chair is the difference. Your AI Growth Agent for Orthodontists builds that qualification into the funnel.

What Your AI Growth Agent Runs for an Ortho Practice

• Targeted paid acquisition. Meta and Google campaigns built around treatment type (Invisalign vs braces), patient profile (teen vs adult), and price point. Creative produced in volume, with before-and-after content where patient consent allows.
• Procedure-specific landing pages. Separate funnels for adult Invisalign, teen braces, accelerated treatment, and clear retainers. Each page sets the right expectation before the consult.
• Consultation booking with pre-qualification. Intake forms ask about treatment goals, insurance, payment preference, and timeline. The agent triages and books only consults that match practice fit. Tire-kickers route to a nurture sequence instead of chair time.
• Patient reactivation and recall. Adult patients who consulted but did not start get re-engaged at intervals. Past patients who finished treatment get referral asks. The same agent handles both flows.
• Review generation. Automated post-consult and post-treatment review requests timed to peak satisfaction. Reviews compound local SEO and ad performance.

What Ortho Practices Replace

A mid-market orthodontic practice running paid acquisition spends $4,000 to $20,000 a month across a marketing stack that usually includes:

• A dental marketing agency (retainer $2,500 to $6,000)
• A separate Google Ads vendor
• A treatment coordinator handling consult bookings by phone
• An office manager managing reviews manually
• A web vendor for landing pages and updates

Your AI Growth Agent for Orthodontists replaces the agency, the Google Ads vendor, the manual review process, and the landing page work. The treatment coordinator focuses on high-value consults, not on chasing bookings.

90-Day Outcome for an Ortho Practice

The Catalyst engagement runs for 90 days with a performance guarantee. For a typical mid-market orthodontic practice, expected outcomes:

• 30 to 60 qualified consult bookings per month, depending on market and spend
• Consult-to-start ratio improved from 20 to 30 percent baseline to 40 to 55 percent
• Cost per started case 30 to 50 percent below local agency benchmarks
• Reactivation revenue from past consult lists running monthly

These ranges depend on market competitiveness, practice positioning, and case mix. Specific projections come from the discovery call.
