DentalMonitoring — the future is now

Orthodontics is at a pivotal moment. Technological advancement is no longer just an option — it’s a necessity. As patient expectations evolve, and staffing shortages persist, orthodontists are faced with a crucial question: How can I deliver exceptional care more efficiently, with fewer resources, and still maintain a competitive edge?

The answer is DentalMonitoring.

What began as a pioneering remote monitoring solution has now become the only FDA- and MDR-approved Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) in its category. DentalMonitoring isn’t just helping doctors monitor patients remotely — it’s clinically transforming how we practice.

By leveraging AI to detect and track up to 18 intraoral indications, including archwire passivity, aligner fit, occlusion, and even midline deviations, DentalMonitoring provides orthodontists with near real-time data between appointments. It’s like having eyes on every patient, every week — without requiring them to step into the office.

This shift to AI-driven, data-supported care is not only smarter — it’s faster. What used to take 6 to 8 weeks for a patient issue to be flagged and resolved can now happen in under 7 days. That kind of responsiveness isn’t just nice to have — it’s becoming the new expectation.

And we’re just getting started.

This summer, DentalMonitoring+ is launching a game-changer that automatically generates interactive 3D models from every patient scan. From within the dashboard, doctors can now assess detailed tooth movements, manipulate teeth virtually, and track occlusal changes with surgical precision. No special hardware. No waiting. Just instant, dynamic insight.

But perhaps the most powerful evolution isn’t a feature — it’s a philosophy: Dynamic Scheduling.

Instead of the rigid, pre-set appointment intervals that define traditional orthodontics, DentalMonitoring enables a patient-driven cadence. You bring patients in only when their biology — and your clinical insight — says it’s time. That means fewer unnecessary appointments, faster treatment times, and more efficient practices.

Think of it as orthodontic care finally catching up with modern expectations: personalized, responsive, and intelligently optimized.

And it doesn’t stop at treatment.

With innovations like SmartSTL, doctors can now generate up-to-date STL files remotely using a patient’s latest scan — no in-office visit required. Whether you’re prepping for a refinement or fabricating a new retainer, DentalMonitoring has turned what used to be a logistical hurdle into a seamless, on-demand experience.

We’ve also partnered with leading orthodontic platforms — Ormco™, Spark™, Angel Aligners™, Dolphin, Ortho2, GreyFinch^®, BrightReferral, 3Shape, Medit, and others — to ensure that DentalMonitoring integrates smoothly into your existing workflow, keeping your team efficient and your focus on what matters most: patient care.

So what does this all mean?

It means the standard of care is shifting. It means practices that embrace AI-driven tools like DentalMonitoring will be the ones patients talk about, staff want to work for, and competitors try to keep up with.

It means the future of orthodontics isn’t 5 years away. It’s already here.

And it’s time to step into it.
