The AI front desk for orthodontic practices
Valian gives orthodontic practices an AI front desk built for high recurring volume: answering calls, booking adjustment and consult appointments, and recovering missed calls automatically.
01
Amy handles heavy adjustment-visit call volume and books on the call.
02
Every new-patient consult call is captured 24/7, never lost to voicemail.
03
Automated recall reactivates paused and overdue treatment plans.
What orthodontic practices struggle with
- Adjustment-visit volume floods the phones and buries the front desk.
- Missed consult calls mean lost long-term, high-value treatment plans.
- Recall and reactivation for paused treatment slip through the cracks.
01
Built for the phone load of a long treatment timeline
An orthodontic patient is not a one-visit patient. Treatment runs across many adjustment appointments, and any one of them can turn into a phone call: a parent moving a visit around a school event, a teen asking when the next check is, a family that needs a later time. Amy answers those calls in parallel and books and reschedules against real openings in your schedule, so the front desk can focus on the patients in the office.
Amy also remembers patients from call to call. A parent who called last week does not have to start over, because she already knows who they are and what was handled.
02
Adjustment visits and retainer checks that stay on the calendar
A missed adjustment visit leaves a gap in the schedule and a patient who still needs to be seen, and that patient does not always call to rebook on their own. Amy texts back missed calls, sends reminders and confirmations before each visit, and runs recall outreach for patients who have fallen off the schedule, including retainer checks after active treatment ends.
Amy can also call through your waitlist and no-show list, so an opening in a busy adjustment day has a real chance of being filled.
03
Every consult call answered, day or night
The consult call is where a long-term orthodontic patient starts. A parent may call after work, and an adult may call on a lunch break. Amy answers every one of those calls 24/7, books the consult on the call, and notes what the family is looking for so your treatment coordinator walks in prepared.
Questions about treatment options, what a case involves, or whether someone is a candidate for aligners are clinical, and Amy does not answer them. She books the consult so the doctor can, and anything urgent goes to a person.
04
Insurance details before the family commits
Families want to know what their plan covers before they start treatment. With instant insurance verification, a member ID and date of birth return whether the plan is active and in network, coverage percent by category, deductible, annual maximum used and remaining, and waiting periods, saved onto the patient’s profile with the date. Anything the plan details leave open, like how a lifetime orthodontic maximum applies to a specific case, stays with your coordinator.
Orthodontic groups with more than one office give each location its own line, schedule, hours, and rules under one account, so a patient calling one office never hears another office’s details.
Common questions.
Can Valian handle high orthodontic call volume?
Yes. Amy answers every call in parallel, so peak adjustment-visit days never overwhelm the front desk, and every consult call is captured.
Can Amy reschedule adjustment appointments?
Yes. Amy books, reschedules, and cancels against real openings in your schedule, so a patient moving an adjustment visit can do it in one call, at any hour.
Will Amy answer questions about braces or aligner treatment?
No. Amy never gives clinical advice. Questions about treatment options go to your doctor or treatment coordinator, and Amy books the consult so they can be answered in person.
Can Amy bring back patients who paused treatment?
Yes. Recall outreach reaches patients who have fallen off the schedule, including paused treatment and retainer checks, and Amy books them back in when they respond.
Do parents have to explain everything again when they call back?
No. Amy remembers patients from call to call. When a call needs a person, whoever picks up can ask Amy what has already been handled before they say hello.
