Your Orthodontic Treatment, Monitored Wherever You Are
With Dental Monitoring, our orthodontic team can keep a close eye on your treatment between appointments using regular scans taken from your smartphone - allowing us to monitor your progress and arrange face-to-face visits at our Lincoln practice only when they're needed.
BOOK A FREE CONSULTATIONWhat is Dental Monitoring?
Dental Monitoring is an established orthodontic technology that lets us follow your treatment closely between appointments. Using a small scanning device and an app on your smartphone, you take a quick, guided scan of your teeth from home and send it securely to our team.
It works alongside your braces or aligners, not instead of your orthodontist, giving us a regular, detailed view of how your treatment is progressing.
How Dental Monitoring works
1. Scan
Using the Dental Monitoring app and the equipment we provide, you take a guided scan of your teeth from home.
2. Send
Your scan is securely submitted to us through the app - it only takes a few minutes.
3. We monitor
Your scans let us keep a close eye on how your teeth are moving and how your treatment is progressing.
4. Stay connected
If something needs attention, we can advise you through the app or arrange to see you at the practice.
Your smile, checked every week
Rather than waiting until your next appointment to see how things are going, Dental Monitoring lets us receive regular scans throughout your treatment, often weekly.
It means anything that needs attention can be spotted sooner and your treatment kept firmly on track, between the times we see you in person.
ACTUAL PATIENTWhat we're monitoring
Depending on your treatment and our clinical protocols, your regular scans can help us keep an eye on things such as:
Tooth movement
Is your treatment progressing as expected?
Aligner fit
Are your aligners tracking correctly?
Your braces
Is there anything that needs attention before your next planned visit?
Oral hygiene
Is there anything you need extra help or advice with?
Overall progress
Is it right to continue as planned, or should the team step in?
ACTUAL PATIENTCloser monitoring, fewer unnecessary visits
Dental Monitoring isn't about seeing you less, it's about seeing you at the right times. You'll still attend the practice when needed throughout your treatment, but remote monitoring helps us cut out the visits that aren't necessary.
Work, school, holidays and family life don't stop because you're having orthodontic treatment. Dental Monitoring keeps us connected with you between appointments, wherever you are, so your treatment fits around your life rather than the other way round.
