At Green-Barr Orthodontics, we understand that your time is valuable. That is why we offer modern orthodontic solutions designed to make treatment more convenient without compromising results. In addition to digital forms, text communication, and iTero digital scans, we proudly offer virtual orthodontic appointments through the Dental Monitoring app.
Dental Monitoring allows Dr. Patrick Barr and Dr. Bryan Green to track your orthodontic progress remotely with accuracy and efficiency. This technology reduces unnecessary in-office visits while keeping your treatment on track, at no additional cost.
What Is Dental Monitoring?
Dental Monitoring is a secure, user-friendly app that allows patients to send photos and videos of their teeth directly to our orthodontic team. These scans provide real-time insight into how your teeth are moving throughout treatment.
Your orthodontic journey always begins with an in-office evaluation and customized treatment plan. Once treatment starts, Dental Monitoring helps us stay connected and monitor progress between visits, allowing for fewer appointments while maintaining high-quality care.
How Dental Monitoring Supports Better Treatment Results
Dental Monitoring does more than add convenience. It helps improve the overall quality and consistency of orthodontic care. By reviewing scans regularly, Dr. Patrick Barr and Dr. Bryan Green can identify small changes early, allowing for timely adjustments that keep treatment progressing efficiently.
This proactive approach helps reduce delays, prevents unnecessary setbacks, and ensures aligners or appliances are working as intended. Patients benefit from clearer guidance, fewer surprises, and a more predictable orthodontic timeline. With Dental Monitoring, your treatment stays closely supervised even when you are not physically in the office.
Who Benefits Most From Dental Monitoring?
Virtual monitoring is ideal for patients who need flexibility during treatment. The app can be used anywhere with cell service, making it a great option for:
- College students with changing schedules
- Busy professionals who travel or work long hours
- Active children and teens involved in school and extracurricular activities
- Families with transportation challenges
- Patients who prefer fewer in-office visits
Dental Monitoring helps simplify orthodontic care while maintaining consistent oversight by your orthodontist.
How Does It Work?
Getting started with the Dental Monitoring app is simple:
- Account Setup: We’ll help you create an account on the app during your initial visit.
- Cheek Retractors: You’ll receive tools to assist in capturing clear scans of your teeth.
- Weekly Scans: For Invisalign patients, scans are submitted weekly so we can evaluate your progress.
- Customized Feedback: Based on your scans, we’ll guide you on when to move to the next aligner or adjust your current treatment as needed.
- On-Demand Assistance: Got a question? Send us a scan anytime for prompt advice.
Your Role in Successful Dental Monitoring
Dental Monitoring works best when patients stay engaged in their treatment. Submitting scans on schedule and following orthodontic instructions allows our team to accurately track progress and make timely recommendations. This shared responsibility helps ensure tooth movement stays on plan and reduces the risk of delays.
Patients who consistently use the app often experience smoother treatment progression because small concerns can be addressed before they become larger issues. By actively participating in your care, you help maximize the benefits of virtual monitoring while maintaining the same level of professional oversight provided during in-office visits.
How Dental Monitoring Improves Orthodontic Care
Dental Monitoring enhances treatment by allowing for early detection of issues, improved communication, and more efficient progress tracking. While in-person visits are still important, virtual monitoring ensures that care continues smoothly between appointments.
Currently, Dental Monitoring is available for Invisalign patients at Green-Barr Orthodontics. Our team is happy to discuss whether this option is right for you.
