How DentalMonitoring Is Transforming Orthodontics
The advances in technology in recent years has had a profound impact on the world of dentistry and orthodontics, revolutionising the way orthodontic care is delivered, meaning treatments are more efficient, comfortable, and accessible.
An innovation we are proud to be using at Robinsons Dental Practice for orthodontics, is DentalMonitoring. The platform utilises AI technology and remote communication via an app to enhance patient care and treatment outcomes. In this article, we’re exploring this latest advancement in orthodontic technology and how DentalMonitoring is transforming results for our patients.
What Is DentalMonitoring?
DentalMonitoring is a remote orthodontic monitoring system, powered by AI and a cloud-based software, to track a patient’s progress and results in real-time. Using the DentalMonitoring app, patients can take high-quality photos of their teeth and upload to the app, notifying your orthodontist of your progress and if any changing conditions are occurring.
How Does DentalMonitoring Work?
Efficient & Accessible: Patients use the smartphone app, taking high-quality images or videos of their teeth frequently. These are then uploaded to the app and shared with your dentist, all from the comfort of your home.
AI-Powered Analysis: DentalMonitoring uses AI to analyse and detect changes in the position of your teeth and oral health. This helps your orthodontist to assess the progress of your treatment, for either aligners or braces, and if any changes are required.
Remote Consultations: With the progress of your orthodontic treatment available at the click of a button or two, your orthodontist can provide feedback, make adjustments to your treatment plan, or instruct on any next steps. This is all without the need for an in-practice visit, which makes DentalMonitoring convenient for everyone, particularly those with busy schedules.
The Benefits of DentalMonitoring
For both patients and orthodontists, DentalMonitoring offers plenty of benefits for the treatment of aligners or braces.
- Greater patient compliance: By regularly engaging with the DentalMonitoring app, patients are more likely to follow the instructions set by their orthodontist and maintain their aligners or braces properly. This all leads to the desired outcome of a straighter smile!
- Early detection of issues: Using DentalMonitoring can identify potential issues with the aligners or braces much earlier in the treatment plan. For example, tooth movement discrepancies, which can help the orthodontist to address any problems sooner, improving the overall success of orthodontic treatment.
- Convenient & efficient: Patients can receive updates and care all from the comfort of their home, without much need to visit the dental practice. This saves both you, the patient, and your orthodontist time, by reducing the number of treatment check ups.
- Real-time feedback: Patients can receive real-time feedback on their progress, keeping them motivated and informed throughout their treatment journey for braces or aligners.
DentalMonitoring represents a significant leap in the technological advances in orthodontic treatment, offering a more convenient, precise, and patient-friendly approach to a straighter smile. As technology continues to advance, the integration of AI and remote monitoring in orthodontics, will no doubt lead to greater patient outcomes and desired results.
At Robinsons Dental Practice, we’re proud to be harnessing these brilliant advances in technology to help our patients achieve their dream smile with braces or aligners. DentalMonitoring is revolutionising the way we deliver treatment and care to our patients.
