Remote Dental Monitoring

At Colchester Orthodontic Centre, we’re dedicated to making your orthodontic journey as easy and convenient as possible. One way we do this is by using the Dental Monitoring app, which allows us to track your treatment progress remotely through your smartphone.

Remote Dental Monitoring

What is Dental Monitoring?

Dental Monitoring is an AI-powered application that transforms your smartphone into a remote scanning device. We will guide you through how to properly capture photos of your teeth, which our specialist will use to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Here’s how it works:

Scan at home

Using the Dental Monitoring app and DM scan box, you will send regular images of your teeth to your orthodontist as instructed.

Analysis and review

The app uses advanced AI technology to analyse your scans and flag any areas of concern. Our Specialist Orthodontist will review your images and track your progress.

Real-time feedback

You will be able to receive instructions and updates directly through the app, and you won’t need to visit our practice unless necessary.

Dental Monitoring is a helpful tool for orthodontists and patients alike. Here are some of the key benefits of using this app:
