How often do I need to visit the orthodontist when in treatment?

At L&L Orthodontics, we’re committed to making our patient’s orthodontic journey as seamless and efficient as possible without compromising the quality of their results. That’s why we offer Dental Monitoring with all treatments that allows us to track your treatment remotely, whether you’re using Clear Aligners or LightForce 3D braces.

We understand life is busy and taking time out of school or work is not ideal, Dental Monitoring keeps you connected to the L&L Orthodontic clinical team no matter where you are (you just need wi-fi)

What Is Dental Monitoring?

Dental Monitoring is an innovative app that allows our clinical team to monitor your progress remotely using photos you take on your smartphone. Instead of attending frequent in-clinic check-ups, you simply upload weekly scans from the comfort of your home. Our clinical team review your scans and provide feedback to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned and AI supports the monitoring process ensuring nothing is missed.

Here is How It Works:

• Download the app and set up your profile
  Once you start your Orthodontic treatment we’ll help get you started with the Dental Monitoring App, and the scan box pro (this is what connects to your Smartphone) and will show you how to make clear, consistent images of your teeth.
• Weekly Scans
  Each week, the app will remind you to complete a quick scan. Simply follow the guided audio and visual instructions to capture and upload your images.
• Professional Review
  Once your scan is submitted, our clinical team carefully reviews your tooth movement, gum health, and overall progress. If everything is on track, you’ll receive a message letting you know to continue as usual. If adjustments are needed, we’ll either provide updated instructions or schedule an in-person appointment.
• Fewer In-Clinic Appointments
  With regular, detailed updates from your scans, we can reduce the number of in-clinic appointments needed, plus in some cases speed up your treatment. This is because it can spot things early, which means we can progress you sooner. Amazing!
