Why Dental Monitoring is a Game Changer for Travel
One of the biggest concerns patients have when starting clear aligner treatment is whether it will disrupt their travel plans or busy lifestyle. The good news? With Dental Monitoring, you don’t have to choose between straightening your teeth and enjoying your freedom.
Here’s how it works:
- Weekly Selfies
Every week, you’ll take a series of guided photos (or videos) of your teeth using the app and a special cheek retractor we provide. These scans are reviewed by the team to make sure your teeth are tracking as expected. - Real-Time progress
If your teeth are moving faster than planned, we may recommend advancing to your next set of aligners sooner—potentially speeding up your treatment. If something isn’t right, we can provide guidance right away or book an in-person visit only if needed. - Stay Connected Anywhere
Through the app, you can chat with our team, ask questions, and receive updates on your treatment progress.
