How Dental Monitoring Works?

With the DentalMonitoring app and ScanBox pro, you can now send in photos of your teeth and communicate with us securely from the comfort of your home — or anywhere in the world.

  • Using the dental monitoring app can enable your orthodontist to treat and monitor your dental treatment remotely.

    1: DM App

    At an in-person appointment with us, we will provide you with directions on how to use the ScanBox pro and how to get started using the DM app.

  • Take photos of your smile using the app.

    2: Scan

    Next, you’ll take photos of your smile from anywhere using the ScanBox pro (at the frequency we recommend) and send them in through the app.

  • Using the dental monitoring app can enable your orthodontist to treat and monitor your dental treatment remotely.

    3: Report

    We will receive your photos to review your treatment and ensure it’s on track without the need for unnecessary trips to the practice. We will send communication and guidance on your treatment via the app.

  • You can monitor the progress of your treatment.

    4: Track

    Over time, you can monitor the progress of your treatment with our photo time lapse technology that shows you how your teeth are moving towards your goal.

Dental Monitoring Frequently Asked Questions

  • The DM App is prescribed by us for patients who are in, or about to begin dental treatment. As a patient, you can download the DM App from the App Store or Google Play Store for free. When your monitoring starts, your doctor will send you an activation email with everything you need to log in.

  • We will provide you one of two ScanBox pro boxes, each of which includes 2 different size Cheek Retractor Tubes for more comfortable fits:

    ScanBox pro pack S-M contains:

    • One Phone support
    • One ScanBoxpro mesh bag
    • One ScanBoxpro Instructions for Use booklet
    • One Cheek Retractor Tube size Small
    • One Cheek Retractor Tube size Medium

    ScanBox pro pack M-L contains:

    • One Phone support
    • One ScanBoxpro mesh bag
    • One ScanBoxpro Instructions for Use booklet
    • One Cheek Retractor Tube size Medium
    • One Cheek Retractor Tube size Large

  • There are many ways to take a DM scan, depending on your treatment. Don’t worry, it’s easier than you may think. Video tutorials and reminders will be available once you log into the DM app.

  • We will send updates and instructions based on your DM scans. For example, if your oral hygiene is declining due to aligner wear, we will let you know areas that you may need to focus when brushing. Or, if your aligner is not fitting properly, we may let you know that you need to continue wearing the current aligner longer or use your chewies.

  • Practically all recent smartphones are compatible, with a minimum of Android 5 (with flash) or iOS 10.

    If you are having difficulty securing your phone, make sure you remove your phone case while taking a scan.

    If you are still having issues while using the ScanBox pro for remote monitoring, please contact us for help.

  • ScanBox pro phone supports are one size, and are designed to accommodate three sizes of Cheek Retractor Tubes, which come in three different sizes to accommodate different mouth sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.

    To sufficiently capture the teeth and the gum area while taking scans, choose the biggest size possible that won’t cause discomfort.

  • The ScanBox pro is recyclable, as is the current ScanBox. All plastic components are in standard materials and are recyclable separately. And since the ScanBox pro requires less plastic to manufacture, that means less plastic to recycle at its end of use.

  • The Cheek Retractor Tube is made of BPA-free medical-grade plastic USP Class VI. It complies with FDA requirements in the code of Federal Regulations in 21 CFR 177.1520 for food contact. This product passed the US Pharmacopoeia test (USP class Ⅵ ) and can be used for medical purposes. It is registered in the FDA Drug Master File list.

  • No. The ScanBox pro should not be put in the dishwasher.

    Before and after each remote monitoring session, clean the Cheek Retractor Tube with soap and cold water. If necessary, gently brush the surface with a soft-bristle brush (like a toothbrush) to ensure it is completely clean. Rinse with cold water and air dry.

    Do not use disinfectant wipes or disinfectant sprays on either the phone support or Cheek Retractor Tubes.

    Please read the included instructions booklet included in each ScanBox pro package for more details on correct cleaning procedures. If unsure, please contact us.

  • The ScanBox pro, including the phone Support and Cheek Retractor Tube, should be placed in the provided mesh bag and away from any heavy items.

    Avoid compressing or putting any abnormal weight on the device — pack the device in your luggage the same way you would pack a pair of sunglasses. However, the pairing window fits into the tube well to minimize space.

  • Dental monitoring is a modern, innovative way to remotely monitor a patient's dental treatment. It uses a special smartphone app to accurately assess images of Invisalign aligners so that dentists can keep track of whether the patient’s teeth are straightening as planned.

    It's a fast, convenient, efficient and accurate way to monitor progress while empowering patients to take even more control over their dental health.

  • Dental monitoring is a highly efficient and reliable way to monitor orthodontic treatment remotely. Our application typically responds within a few minutes, allowing clinicians to get up-to-date information on the patient’s progress with Invisalign aligners.

    This helps to ensure that the patient’s treatment outcome is as predicted and that they can rest assured that they are receiving the best care possible.

  • Dental monitoring is made up of two components: the patient’s smartphone and a cloud based system.

    When using dental monitoring, the patient takes digital images of their teeth or Invisalign aligners with their phone, then uploads those images to the secure cloud based system.

    This data is then reviewed by a dentist who can assess whether treatment is going as expected or if any changes need to be made.

  • Absolutely. Patients are able to receive automated notifications with treatment status updates and reminders from their dentists, all via the Dental Monitoring app.

    This provides a convenient way to manage and monitor treatments remotely. It also helps patients stay on top of aligner changes and other orthodontic needs.

  • Dental monitoring helps to provide more timely and accurate treatment plans for Invisalign users. It can be used to not only monitor the progress of your treatment over time, but also spot any discrepancies in your progress sooner.

    Ultimately, this means any corrections or adjustments that need to be made can be done quickly and precisely, resulting in better results and faster treatment times.

    Moreover, the mobile application helps make your interactions with dentists quicker and simpler, as all conversations between both parties are recorded on a secure platform.

  • Absolutely not. Dental monitoring is meant to assist the orthodontists in their practices, providing an efficient and accurate way of evaluating your progress quickly and securely.

    Orthodontists will remain a vital part of your treatment process and are still greatly needed to practise the necessary skill of dental analysis without relying on technology data.

  • Not at all. We’ve designed our dental monitoring app to be easy to use. All you have to do is take photos of the patient's teeth and gums and upload them into the app.

    The software will then create a 3D model of the patient's teeth, so that you can assess the progress of treatment remotely. This process takes just a few minutes and means that no further in-person visits are required.

  • With Dental Monitoring, you will only need to scan your teeth once every 7-14 days. Depending on the treatment plan that has been devised for your case, each scan should take no more than 10 minutes to complete in order to accurately detect the position of your teeth and the overall movement of your dental arch throughout treatment.

  • After you have made a scan, our AI-based dental monitoring software will give you an analysis, allowing your dentist to assess the progress and make adjustments accordingly.

    Our process is accurate and timely, providing you with the best orthodontic care without having to leave your home or office.

  • If a patient fails to scan their Invisalign aligners within the recommended timeframe then they may not get the desired results.

    The Dental Monitoring app is designed to alert patients when it is time to take a scan and will also alert your dentist if the patient has failed to follow through.

    However, regular scans are important to ensure that treatment is progressing as planned and so it is vital that patients adhere to scan protocols.

  • Don't worry, we have you covered. The Dental Monitoring app comes with a comprehensive set of instructions which you can use to walk through the scanning process.

    If that is still not enough, our customer service team is just a call away and ready to help. So don't hesitate to contact us if you need assistance.

  • Dental Monitoring is included for free with all our treatments.

*The Dental Monitoring app is for patients who have already started their orthodontic treatment.
