Talk to it in a minute

Paste your website below. In under a minute your receptionist is built from your own pages and you can call it in your browser, before you give us an email address.

Read every rule it follows

Nothing is hidden. In your dashboard every rule is written in plain English, and you can change any of them and hear the difference on the next call.

Watch the message land

Ring your own number after it's live. Seconds after you hang up, the summary, the caller's details and the full transcript are in your inbox, and the message is texted to your mobile.

A phone showing the receptionist ringing back after the line dropped

Try this on the demo call

Hang up on it. It rings you back.

Lose signal mid-call, or hang up by accident, and it rings you straight back and carries on where it was. No answer? It leaves a short message. Humans forget to ring back. This doesn't.

The voice

Press play. Would you know it wasn't a person?

It listens while it talks, lets callers interrupt, and answers in the time a person would. Callers can't tell the difference. Press play and hear for yourself.

What does hiring a orthodontic receptionist really cost?

Dozens of adjustments, one person moving them

Every patient needs a visit every few weeks. Rescheduling them is a full-time job on top of the phone.

Orthodontic reception is a plan-management job

Each patient has a treatment plan over eighteen months, payments spread across it, and a visit every six weeks. Finding someone who can track all of that is hard, and training them takes a year.

Parents ring after school and after work

The people booking adjustments are parents, and they ring at 3.30pm and 6pm. The desk is at its busiest, or closed.

Brace emergencies cannot wait for Monday

A wire sticking into a cheek on a Saturday is a child in pain for two days. The answerphone does not help, and the parent rings a different practice.

What changes with an AI receptionist instead of hiring

Adjustments moved without the desk

Find the appointment, offer the next free six-week slot, move it, text the new time. Dozens a week, none of them interrupting the clinical team.

Consultations booked with a deposit

It explains the treatment options and the from prices from your website, books the consultation and texts a deposit link. Team plan.

Brace emergencies by your rule

A broken bracket, a wire that is hurting, a lost retainer. It follows your rule: a same-day slot, the emergency number, or straight through to a person.

It happens to be AI. That is why it never calls in sick, never needs cover, and answers several callers at once. You do not need to know anything about AI to use it: paste your website, pick a voice, connect a number.

Three calls an orthodontic receptionist takes every week

What the caller says, what SiVoice does, and what lands with you.

Broken bracket on a Saturday

“My daughter's bracket has come off and the wire is poking her cheek. Can anyone see her?”

It follows your emergency rule: gives the advice written on your site about wax, books the first emergency slot on Monday at 8.15am, or gives the emergency number if your rule says so. It texts the time and sends the message to the team.

Adult asks about clear aligners

“I am 34 and I want straighter teeth without metal braces. Do you do clear aligners and what do they cost?”

It explains the clear aligner option and the from price and finance from your site, says the orthodontist confirms suitability at the consultation, and books the consultation on Tuesday at 5.45pm with a deposit by text.

An adult consultation booked after work, held with a deposit.

Moving two adjustments at once

“We have Jack's adjustment on the 14th but we are away. Can we move it, and the one after?”

It finds Jack's booking, offers the next free slots that keep the six-week gap, moves both, and texts the new dates. It sends a note to the clinical team.

Two appointments moved in one call, with the treatment interval kept.

Orthodontic receptionist salary against an AI receptionist: the numbers

Median full-time pay from the national statistics office, before employer taxes, pension, holiday and sick cover, recruitment and training. Team is the best plan: three numbers, an AI receptionist per location, deposits on the call, ring-backs, several callers at once. Solo is the one-person option.

A receptionist, a yearA receptionist, a monthSiVoice Team plan, a month BestSiVoice Solo plan, a month
United Kingdom£24,678£2,057£354 · excl. tax£150
United StatesYou$37,230$3,103$449 · excl. tax$199
Deutschland€33,636€2,803€419 · excl. tax€179

Nothing against them. They're people, and people have lives. The phone doesn't.

The fee before the salary

A recruitment agency typically charges a percentage of the first year's salary, commonly 15 to 25 percent, or a daily margin on a temp.

The salary is the start

Add employer's National Insurance or payroll tax, pension, training, and the cost of covering the desk when they're away.

Off sick

UK workers lost an average of 4.4 days each to sickness in 2024, says the ONS. The phone does not get the memo.

On holiday

28 days a year in the UK, and you pay for every one of them. Who answers while they're on the beach?

At lunch

One o'clock sharp, which is when the phone is busiest.

Evenings and weekends

Not on the rota. That is when customers finally have a minute to ring.

Monday morning, the text

Can't make it today. The desk is empty and the week starts on the back foot.

Two calls at once

One person answers one call. The second one is voicemail, however good they are.

Hands in their notice

Just as they finally know the job. Back to the advert, the gap and the training.

SiVoice: none of the above. Every call answered, day and night, from $449 a month on the Team plan.

Why not voicemail, an answering service or another receptionist?

Each of them answers part of the problem. Only one answers every call, knows your business and costs less than a day of a receptionist's time.

Orthodontic receptionist questions, answered

Updated November 2026

Can it handle a brace emergency call?

It follows your rule for a broken bracket or a wire that is hurting, word for word: a same-day slot, the emergency number, or straight through to a person.

Is this instead of a receptionist, or as well as one?

Either. Some businesses use SiVoice instead of hiring, some use it to take the phone off a receptionist who is already run off their feet, and some use it to cover the gap while they recruit. It answers the phone; a person still greets whoever walks in.

How quickly can it start?

Paste your website and it is built in 30 seconds. You can talk to it in your browser straight away, before you give us an email address. Connecting a phone number takes a few more minutes, and it is answering the same day.
