Orthia was created by Olyver Sturdivant and Ryan Tao. Olyver worked inside his mom's orthodontic clinic and saw firsthand how overwhelmed front desks were. Phones ringing nonstop. Patients going to voicemail. After-hours calls with no one to pick up. Staff stretched thin trying to do everything at once.
He believed AI could dramatically improve the patient experience while reducing staff stress. Olyver reconnected with Ryan Tao, who brought deep technical expertise to the table.
What started as a conversation between two young founders turned into Orthia -- an AI receptionist built specifically for orthodontic clinics, designed alongside the orthodontists and office managers who know the problems best.
Orthia now answers calls, schedules patients, handles insurance questions, and supports practices 24/7.
