Hassle-Free Orthodontic Care With Dental Monitoring

Dental Monitoring

Experience A Seamless Orthodontic Journey, Wherever You Are

At Bishops Stortford Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer our patients the very latest in orthodontic technology — Dental Monitoring, an innovative way to stay on top of your treatment progress without needing to visit the practice as often. With remote dental monitoring, you can achieve your dream smile faster, more conveniently, and more comfortably than ever before.

Whether you’re wearing fixed braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners, our Dental Monitoring system allows you to stay closely connected with your Specialist Orthodontist wherever you are.

What Is Dental Monitoring?

This is a cutting-edge digital system that lets your orthodontist track your treatment remotely using artificial intelligence (AI). By combining an easy-to-use Dental Monitoring app and a Scan Box, you can send detailed images of your teeth directly to your orthodontist — all from the comfort of your home.

The process is simple: you’ll take regular scans of your teeth using your Dental Monitoring Scan Box, upload them to the app, and your orthodontist will review them to ensure everything is progressing according to your treatment plan. This means fewer in-person visits, more accurate tracking, and greater convenience for you.

How Does This Work?

  1. Download the App: After starting your orthodontic treatment, we’ll help you download and set up the Dental Monitoring app on your smartphone.
  2. Use Your Dental Monitoring Scan Box: You’ll receive a Scan Box that holds your phone securely while you take precise photos of your teeth each week.
  3. Upload Your Scans: The app guides you step by step to capture high-quality images, which are then uploaded for review.
  4. Remote Assessment: Your Specialist Orthodontist will evaluate your progress using advanced AI technology to ensure your teeth are moving exactly as planned.
  5. Real-Time Communication: If any adjustments or advice are needed, we can message you directly through the app — keeping your treatment on track.

With Dental Monitoring, every stage of your smile journey is supervised carefully, even between appointments.

More Questions?

If you have more questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Do I still need to visit the clinic if I use Dental Monitoring?

Yes — but less often. Dental Monitoring allows us to track your progress remotely, so many routine check-ups can be done through the app. However, you’ll still need to come in for key appointments like fitting, adjustments, and removal of braces. Most patients then visit about every 10–12 weeks instead of every 6–8 weeks, with visits adjusted based on how treatment is progressing.

What technology do I need for Dental Monitoring?
You’ll need a smartphone (iOS or Android) with a good camera and internet access. We’ll provide a Dental Monitoring ScanBox kit to help you take consistent scans, and you’ll download the free app using an invite link we send you. The system uses cloud-based AI, so your phone simply uploads photos or short videos for review. Most modern smartphones work well, and we’ll check everything with you at set-up to make sure it runs smoothly. With Dental Monitoring, many patients also benefit from fewer in-person visits – typically every 10–12 weeks instead of every 6–8, depending on progress. Bishops Stortford Orthodontics uses this system to help make treatment more efficient while still keeping you closely monitored.
What happens if I miss a scan or forget for a week?

You’ll get reminders on your scheduled scan days, but if you forget, just complete it as soon as you can. Missing a single scan or week is usually not a problem, but regular missed scans reduce our ability to monitor your progress properly, and we may check in with you if we don’t receive updates. If you’re wearing aligners and miss a scan but everything feels fine, keep wearing your current aligner until you’ve scanned and received further instructions from us. To stay on track, it helps to set a weekly reminder (for example, the same day each week). If you’re going away or expect limited internet access, let us know so we can guide you in advance.

What happens if the app detects a problem during my treatment?
If an issue is flagged, we act quickly. Minor concerns (like a poking wire or an aligner not fully seated) are usually managed with simple at-home guidance and continued monitoring. If something more significant is detected, we’ll contact you to arrange an in-person visit if needed. The goal is early detection, so most issues are caught while they’re still small and easy to fix. You’ll always receive clear instructions, and you can message us anytime if you notice something before the app picks it up.
Can I use Dental Monitoring for regular dental check-ups or just orthodontics?

Dental Monitoring is designed specifically to track your orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners), not to replace routine dental check-ups. It works by analysing images of your teeth to monitor alignment and treatment progress. You should still see your general dentist every 6 months for examinations and cleanings, as Dental Monitoring cannot detect issues like cavities. While we can pick up signs of gum inflammation or plaque during your scans and advise you accordingly, your dentist remains responsible for your overall oral health.
