See Your Smile Transform with DentalMonitoring
DentalMonitoring (DM) is a remote assistant for tracking your braces/aligners treatment. It does this using the DentalMonitoring app and ScanBoxpro to take pictures of your teeth. The app, downloaded into your phone uses time-lapse technology to show you how your teeth have been moving towards your goal and also helps your orthodontist tack your treatment plan.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| ✅ Very convenient for those who want to track their progress regularly but are too busy to schedule an appointment. ✅ Timelapse feature helps patients to visualise their progress. ✅ Improves communication between orthodontists and patients. ✅ In compliance with HIPAA — your data is safe. | ❌ Not suitable for complex orthodontic cases. ❌ Uncertain cost because it is highly dependent on whatever your orthodontist wishes to charge you for it. |
How Does DentalMonitoring Work?
Before you can use DentalMonitoring, you need first, to get clearance from your doctor. This happens during an in-person appointment.
At the appointment, your doctor will provide you with the necessary instructions on how to use the ScanBoxpro and the DM app.
Once you have the tools in your possession, the next thing is to start using them.
How?
By taking pictures of your teeth. You do that using ScanBoxpro and send them to your orthodontist through the app.
Note that the frequency of photos taken should be as your doctor recommends.
Once your doctor receives the photos via the DM app, they will use it to review your treatment and see whether or not you are on track. If you are on track, there would be no need for a visit to your orthodontist but if you’re not, they can schedule an appointment for you.
Over time, you can monitor the progress of your treatment using the timelapse technology on the app that shows how your teeth are moving towards your goal.

What the Experts Are Saying
DentalMonitoring Pricing
There is no stated price for DentalMonitoring because it is offered by orthodontists as part of their overall treatment plan. The cost of the entire orthodontic treatment, including the potential use of DM, will be determined by your orthodontist based on your specific needs and treatment complexity.
Final Thoughts
DentalMonitoring is a complementary tool for orthodontist to better track their patient’s progress remotely. It should not be seen as a replacement for doctors because it is still far from perfect.
