Similarly, there's got to be an accounting software which orthodontists use for bills, to pay bills, to communicate with your accountants for the year end, to generate cheques for staff (pay) without having to hire a bookkeeper. This will decrease the overhead.
Even the financial manager position can be replaced. You enter the contract for the particular patient, and the robot presents and emails all the details. No need for cleavage to close the deal, for patients to bargain, or for them to feel that they are being treated unfairly price wise.
Replacing the job of the Orthodontist with a robot is actually risky. When teeth move, there is a biologic cost. If things are moving via Autopilot, and then someone finds out, that movement took place in the wrong direction, fixing these errors is costly both in time, money, and most importantly, patient's dental tissue repair sometimes.
