Families compare orthodontists for months before they book. These are the places AI looks when it helps them decide.
- 1Your AAO and aligner listingsKeep your American Association of Orthodontists profile current, and your listing on the Invisalign doctor locator if you offer it. AI treats both as proof of who does what.
- 2Reviews from parents and adultsAsk both groups. “Our daughter’s braces came off on schedule” and “clear aligners at 42, no one noticed” answer two different questions.
- 3Pages for each treatment and ageEarly treatment, teen braces, adult aligners and retainers each deserve a page that says who it suits and how long it takes.
- 4Cost and payment, in plain wordsSay whether consultations are free, which insurance helps, and whether you offer monthly plans. “How much are braces” is one of the most asked questions.

Questions, answered.
How do I get my orthodontic practice recommended by ChatGPT?
Make it easy for AI to see what you treat and for whom. Keep your AAO profile and aligner provider listings current, collect reviews from both parents and adult patients, give each treatment its own page, and say plainly how consultations, insurance and payment plans work.
Is this the answer a patient sees in ChatGPT?
Close, not identical. Stride asks through OpenAI’s API with web search on, the same way its tracking works. The ChatGPT app can answer a signed-in person differently, and answers change from day to day.
Do parents really ask AI about orthodontists?
Parents research braces for weeks: what age to start, what it costs, which practice is good with kids. Those are exactly the questions people now type into AI tools. Run the check with your city and see what comes back.
Why does it show only three practices?
The check keeps the first three practices ChatGPT names, in its order. Those are the ones a family is most likely to call. A walkthrough or the free audit covers more questions and more AI tools.
What happens on the walkthrough?
Fifteen minutes on a call. Stride shows which patient questions name you, which practices AI picks instead and why, and what it would take to get named.
