What we observed in this categoryauto-generated
Three brands — Wired Orthodontics, Toowong Orthodontics, and SmileStyle Orthodontics — share the top three ranks, each holding identical visibility scores of 12.5% and composite scores of 8.8. The remaining seven brands, including Brisbane Orthodontics and Total Orthodontics, register 0.0% across all metrics. This creates a stark two-tier landscape where 70% of tracked brands have zero AI presence, and the category average visibility of 3.8% is dragged down almost entirely by this absence. The gap between the top three and the rest is absolute, not gradual.
Across all ten brands, the citation rate is uniformly 0.0%, meaning no tracked brand is being cited as a source by Google AI Mode despite three brands achieving measurable visibility. This divergence — being named in AI responses without being cited as a reference — indicates the AI surfaces these practices as answers but anchors its factual sourcing elsewhere. The top-cited sources include orthodonticsaustralia.org.au, pacificsmilesdental.com.au, and specialistpros.com.au, none of which are the brands being ranked in this audit.
Google AI Mode is the sole engine recorded across all ten brands, confirming this audit is entirely concentrated on a single AI surface. The top three visibility risers — Wired Orthodontics, Toowong Orthodontics, and SmileStyle Orthodontics — all moved from 0.0% to 12.5% visibility with zero citation delta, suggesting a simultaneous entry into AI visibility rather than organic growth over time. The cited source list skews toward directories, professional associations, and non-Brisbane practices, indicating Google AI Mode is not yet anchoring on local Brisbane practice websites for sourcing.

How to read this ranking
Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.
Visibility = being named
A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer.
Citation rate = being trusted
Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence — different from being named.
Top engine differs by brand
The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps.
Rankings move month to month
AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically.
