Dental Monitoring - Revolutionary remote orthodontic care in Newcastle

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
