Transforming Orthodontic Care: The Power of Dental Monitoring Technology
In recent years, advancements in technology have revolutionized various aspects of healthcare, including orthodontics. One such innovation that is transforming the way orthodontic care is delivered is Dental Monitoring technology. Dr. Shawn Russett and Dr. Dolly Bharwani at Signature Orthodontics have been utilizing Dental Monitoring with clear aligners, such as Invisalign and Spark, as an additional technology in the practice since July 2021. This smartphone-based app and AI-powered software allows us to enable remote monitoring of orthodontic treatment progress, providing numerous benefits to our patients. In this blog, we will explore the advantages of Dental Monitoring technology for patients and how Signature Orthodontics utilizes the technology to its fullest potential.
What is Dental Monitoring Technology?
Dental Monitoring technology allows orthodontic patients to capture and submit images of their teeth using a smartphone app. These images are then analyzed by AI algorithms to track the progress of orthodontic treatment, including tooth movement and alignment. Orthodontists can remotely monitor their patients’ progress and make treatment adjustments as necessary, all without the need for frequent in-person appointments.
Benefits for Patients:
Convenience: One of the most significant advantages of Dental Monitoring technology is the convenience it offers our patients. Instead of scheduling and attending frequent appointments at Signature Orthodontics, patients can simply take scans of their teeth from the comfort of their homes and submit them through the app. This saves time and eliminates the need for unnecessary travel.
Greater Engagement: With Dental Monitoring technology, Signature Orthodontics has greater patient engagement in their treatment process. Patients become active participants in monitoring their progress and can track the changes in their teeth over time. This fosters a sense of empowerment and motivation, leading to improved treatment compliance and outcomes.
Timely Feedback and Adjustments: With Dental Monitoring technology, Signature Orthodontics is able to provide timely feedback and make necessary adjustments to treatment plans based on real-time data. This ensures that any issues or concerns are addressed promptly, leading to more efficient and effective treatment outcomes.
Enhanced Communication: The use of Dental Monitoring technology at Signature Orthodontics facilitates seamless communication between patients and our orthodontists. Patients can easily communicate any concerns or questions they may have through the app, and orthodontists respond promptly, assisting in strengthening the patient-provider relationship.
Since implementing Dental Monitoring in July 2021, Signature Orthodontics has honed their processes, offering patients greater convenience, engagement, and communication throughout their treatment journey towards a beautiful smile.
