Orthodontist Practices
Your competitors have more reviews. That is why they get the calls.
Orthodontic treatment is one of the highest-commitment, highest-cost decisions a family makes for their child, or for themselves. Patients read reviews carefully because they are picking a provider they will see every 6 to 8 weeks for 18 months. If your review count is low or your last review is six months old, patients pick the practice that looks more active and more trusted, regardless of your actual outcomes.

Google ranks by review recency, not just count. Your competitor gets 9× more new reviews. That gap compounds every month.
What We Do About It
- We install an automated review request system triggered after initial consultations and key treatment milestones, timed for when patients and parents are most satisfied
- Every review request sends patients straight to your Google Business Profile with a direct link that takes under two minutes to complete
- We monitor review velocity weekly to ensure steady, natural growth that Google rewards with better rankings
- We respond to every review within 24 hours to show active practice engagement to both Google and prospective patients researching you
Orthodontist practices that maintain consistent weekly review growth see their Maps visibility expand steadily. Review recency is weighted more heavily than total review count in local rankings, which means a steady stream of new reviews from current patients beats a large stale count.
The average job for a orthodontist practice is worth $4,000 to $8,000. Every month you wait is another month of leads going to the orthodontist practices that show up first. A free visibility audit shows you exactly where you stand and what it would take to fix it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our patients are happy but nobody leaves reviews. How do you fix that?
Most patients do not leave reviews because nobody asks at the right moment. ReviewBoost sends a simple text or email after the consultation or after a milestone appointment with a direct link to your Google page. No friction, no complicated steps. Orthodontist practices that activate this consistently see 10 to 20 new reviews per month from their existing patient flow.
Should I be asking for reviews on Healthgrades or Zocdoc too?
Google reviews are the priority because they directly drive your Maps ranking and AI visibility. Once your Google review velocity is strong, we can add rotation to Healthgrades or Zocdoc for patients browsing those platforms. But splitting your effort too early dilutes the impact where it matters most.
What about negative reviews from unhappy patients?
Negative reviews happen in every practice. The key is volume and recency. If you have 250 reviews at 4.9 stars, one negative review barely moves the needle. If you have 35 reviews, one bad one changes your appearance significantly. The best defense is a steady stream of positive reviews, and we help you craft professional responses to any negatives that come in.
