Orthodontic consult and retainer follow-up with AI
Orthodontic follow-up covers three groups: families who had a consult and did not start, patients who miss adjustment visits, and finished patients who stop wearing retainers. AI can draft a kind, specific message for each and time it well. Staff approve the messages, and parents stay in the loop for minors.

The consult that did not start
Families often hold off because of cost, timing or a second opinion. A check-in a week or two later that invites questions, and offers a call with the treatment coordinator, is respectful and often welcome.
If a family chose another practice, a brief, gracious note leaves the door open and takes a moment to send.
Between visits
Treatment can slide when a patient skips a month. A reminder that says what is next, and offers a time, can keep a case moving.
For minors, message the parent.
After the braces come off
Retainers decide whether results hold. A gentle reminder at a few points after treatment, and an easy way to book a retainer check, supports patients and the work you did.

Examples of what it can look like in a orthodontic practice. Illustrations, not clients.
A family had a consult in the spring and has not replied. A message asks if they have questions about the options discussed.
A teenager missed her last two visits. A note to her mother offers three times and explains why the next adjustment matters.
A patient lost a retainer over the summer. A friendly note, sent to the parent, asks them to book a replacement visit.

Questions
How do I avoid pressure?
Keep messages offering help, not deadlines. Never invent urgency.
Who should the messages go to?
For minors, the parent or guardian on file.
Should I follow up after treatment ends?
Yes. Retainer care is a long commitment, and a few well-spaced reminders help patients stay on track.
