What Is Dental Monitoring?

Dental Monitoring is a tele-orthodontics system that uses a smartphone app and a scanning device to capture regular images of your teeth. These images are reviewed remotely by your orthodontist at Orthodontic Specialists of Green Bay, enabling timely feedback and treatment adjustments—all without needing frequent in-office visits.

What Are the Key Advantages for Patients?

  • Convenience: Scan your teeth from home and submit updates through the app.

  • Fewer clinic visits: Many routine check-ins are managed remotely, saving you time.

  • Faster feedback: Small issues are caught early, reducing treatment delays.

  • Better engagement: See your smile progress in real time throughout your orthodontic journey.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Monitoring?

Dental Monitoring is suitable for patients using:

  • Clear aligners, where remote scans help ensure each tray fits and tracks as planned
  • Braces, to track oral hygiene, wire movement, or appliance effectiveness
  • Busy individuals, frequent travelers, and families with tight schedules who still want expert care

Even patients with more complex cases can benefit from a hybrid approach, combining in-office visits with remote monitoring for maximum flexibility.
