Orthosnap has partnered with Dental Monitoring® to offer dentists and patients the ability to monitor all clear aligner treatments remotely. This allows our providers to maintain complete oversight over treatment progress week by week.

What is it?

The device consists of a ScanBox and smartphone app that enables your patient to scan their teeth from anywhere. This provides your practice with weekly insight into over 130 different measurements to boost engagement and compliance.

Why use Dental Monitoring®?

Watch this video to learn more about the incredible benefits of using Dental Monitoring with Orthosnap clear aligners:

How Does it Work?

Patients use their own smartphone camera, cheek retractor tube, and a mobile app, and are guided to take regular scans of their teeth prior to switching aligners.

The images are automatically checked for conditions like tracking, missing attachments, seating issues, cracked aligners, and hygiene. The doctor and Orthosnap are then alerted of any issues and can communicate instantly with the patient.

We’ll set a default 7-day scanning interval that you can modify if needed.

Benefits to the Patient:

  • Boost wear compliance with progress tracking

  • Get early feedback on progress and compliance

  • Intercept and intervene immediately when issues arise

  • Portal for communications on clinical guidance

  • Shorter treatment time

  • Consistency for patients who live remotely

Benefits to the Practice:

  • Reduce chair time by 40-60%

  • Spend less chair time on routine visits

  • Eliminate surprises at patient visits

  • Build trust with your patients

  • Reduce refinements

How much does it cost?

Dental Monitoring is FREE with all Orthosnap cases, including the monthly monitoring subscription fee.

How to get started

You will enroll each of your patients into Dental Monitoring® when you're creating the case in the Orthosnap portal. All we need is the patient's email address and phone number.

Here is a video of what the Patient experience is like to use the scan box:
