This is the Markdown version of https://damex.digital/industries/orthodontics/ # AI marketing for orthodontic practices > To get an orthodontic practice named by AI assistants, make your specialist training easy to verify: AAO membership, ABO board certification if you hold it, and a profile for each orthodontist. Answer the cost, insurance and Invisalign questions that parents and adults ask, keep Google and AAO listings consistent, and ask every patient for reviews without ever confirming treatment in public replies. ## What customers ask AI assistants - "How much are braces with insurance in [city]?" - "Best orthodontist near me for adults" - "Is Invisalign cheaper than braces?" - "Should I see an orthodontist or a dentist for Invisalign?" - "Can a general dentist do braces?" - "How long do braces take?" - "Does insurance cover braces for adults?" - "When should my child first see an orthodontist?" ## Where AI assistants look for orthodontic practices - **AAO Find an Orthodontist:** The American Association of Orthodontists lists its members, with their degree, residency and whether they are ABO certified. - **ABO Orthodontist Locator:** The American Board of Orthodontics shows each orthodontist's certification status and expiry date. - **[Google Business Profile](https://damex.digital/sources/google-business-profile.md):** The practice and each public-facing orthodontist can have a profile under Google's practitioner rules. - **[Healthgrades](https://damex.digital/sources/healthgrades.md):** Individual provider profiles with insurance and reviews that patients compare. - **Your treatment and pricing pages:** Cost ranges, payment plans and insurance details are what assistants need to answer the most common questions. - [How AI uses each source](https://damex.digital/sources/) ## Common mistakes - Using 'board certified' wording that doesn't match an orthodontist's current ABO status. - No price ranges or payment plan details, so assistants can't answer cost questions. - Before-and-after photos posted without written patient authorization. ## Do these first 1. Check that each orthodontist's AAO and ABO listings match your Google profiles. 2. Publish a page with cost ranges, insurance and payment plans, for children and adults. 3. Explain, in plain words, how an orthodontist's training differs from a general dentist's. ## Damex services that fit - [AI Visibility](https://damex.digital/services/ai-visibility/): Included in Starter, Essentials, Growth and Authority.

The AAO says orthodontists are dentists who complete an extra two to three years in an accredited orthodontic residency. Only they may call themselves orthodontists and join the AAO. ### Is ABO board certification required? No. The ABO says certification is voluntary, takes written and clinical exams, and must be renewed every 10 years. ### When should a child first see an orthodontist? The AAO recommends a first orthodontic check-up no later than age 7. --- ## About Damex Digital Damex Digital is an AI visibility agency.
