How does Dental Monitoring work?

What is Dental Monitoring?

Dental Monitoring is a revolutionary smartphone app that allows us to track your Invisalign® or Angel Aligner treatment progress remotely. Instead of coming in for appointments, you can simply send us a weekly smile selfie through the app!

This cutting-edge technology uses artificial intelligence to analyse changes in your tooth movement with incredible precision, allowing our specialist orthodontists to monitor your progress virtually. It's perfect for patients across Newcastle, Ashington, Alnwick, and beyond who want the convenience of fewer in-office visits without compromising on treatment quality.

How does Dental Monitoring work in Newcastle?

At your orthodontic consultation at any of our locations across Newcastle and Northumberland, we'll use our cutting-edge iTero scanner to make a 3D model of your smile. This digital model is what we use to plan your custom Invisalign® or Angel Aligner treatment, and is also what we will use to track your treatment progress.

When you send us photos through the Dental Monitoring app, we will check them against your projected treatment progress. If everything is going according to plan, we won't need to see you at our practice. In fact, we may even tell you to switch to a new set of aligners earlier, potentially shortening your overall treatment time!

The advanced AI technology can detect even minute tooth movements, ensuring your treatment stays on track while providing you with unprecedented convenience. This technology works seamlessly with both Invisalign® and Angel Aligners treatments.

Frequently asked questions about Dental Monitoring in Newcastle and Northumberland

How accurate is Dental Monitoring?

Dental Monitoring uses advanced AI technology that has been developed and refined over years of research. The system can detect tooth movements with remarkable precision - even changes as small as 0.1mm. Our specialists at our Newcastle and Northumberland practices review each scan to ensure your treatment is progressing correctly. Studies have shown that this technology provides comparable monitoring quality to in-person appointments.

Do I still need to visit the practice at all?

Yes, you'll still need some in-person appointments, but significantly fewer than with traditional orthodontic care. You'll visit us for your initial consultation, when you receive your aligners, and for occasional progress checks. However, many routine check-ups can be replaced by virtual monitoring, reducing your in-practice visits by up to 60%. Our patients from Alnwick, Ashington, and across the Newcastle area especially appreciate this time-saving benefit.

How often do I need to take scans?

For most patients, we recommend weekly scans, which take just a few minutes to complete. The app will send you reminders when it's time for your next scan. This frequency allows us to closely monitor your progress and make timely adjustments to your treatment plan if needed.

What equipment do I need?

You'll need a smartphone (iOS or Android) and the ScanBox Pro device that we provide as part of your treatment. The ScanBox helps position your phone correctly to capture high-quality images of your teeth. The Dental Monitoring app itself is free to download, and all monitoring services are included in your treatment plan.

Is Dental Monitoring only for Invisalign patients?

While Dental Monitoring works perfectly with Invisalign treatment, it can also be used with other aligner systems like Angel Aligner. We can discuss which combination of treatment and monitoring will work best for your specific orthodontic needs during your consultation at any of our four locations.

What happens if a problem is detected?

If our specialists notice anything concerning in your scans, we'll contact you promptly through the app. Depending on the situation, we might provide specific instructions or ask you to come in for an in-person appointment. This proactive approach helps us address potential issues before they become significant problems.

Does Dental Monitoring cost extra?

At NEO Orthodontics, we include Dental Monitoring as part of your aligner treatment package at no additional cost. We believe this technology offers such significant benefits to treatment quality and convenience that it should be available to all eligible patients across Newcastle and Northumberland.

Can I still contact my orthodontist directly?

Absolutely! The Dental Monitoring app includes a messaging feature that allows you to communicate directly with our team. You can ask questions, share concerns, or request advice at any time. We typically respond within one business day, ensuring you always have support throughout your treatment journey.
