Dental Monitoring
What is Dental Monitoring?
Dental Monitoring is a technology that remotely tracks orthodontic treatment progress. It employs a mobile app and hardware to capture and transmit images of a patient's teeth or orthodontic devices. This enables orthodontists to monitor changes without frequent in-person visits.
What are the benefits of Dental Monitoring?
Benefits of Dental Monitoring:
- Convenience: Dental Monitoring eliminates the need for numerous in-person appointments, saving time and effort for patients.
- Remote Oversight: Orthodontists can remotely assess treatment progress, making adjustments as necessary, and identifying issues early.
- Efficiency: Regular monitoring through Dental Monitoring can lead to optimized treatment plans and potentially shorter overall treatment times.
- Early Issue Detection: Problems can be identified early, preventing potential delays or complications in the treatment process.
- Compliance Improvement: The app often includes reminders and guidance, promoting better adherence to treatment instructions.

What to Expect During the Dental Monitoring Process:
