Benefits of Dental Monitoring
Here’s How We Keep Track of Your Smile Journey!
Common Dental Monitoring Questions
Our team has answered some of the most common questions we get. If you still have questions or need help, please get in touch. We’re more than happy to help!
What Is Dental Monitoring?
Dental Monitoring allows you to use the DentalMonitoring app on your smartphone and the ScanBox Pro to keep track and keep us informed of your progress.
How Do I Download the App?
You’ll be able to download the DentalMonitoring app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Ocean Edge Orthodontics team will send you an email with everything you need to activate your secure, personal account.
What Is the ScanBox Pro?
The ScanBox Pro uses Cheek Retractor Tubes to get a wide shot of your mouth using your smartphone. Your ScanBox Pro box will come with the device, two tubes, a mesh storage bag, a support for your phone, and an instruction manual.
How Do I Take a DM Image With My SmartPhone?
There are several ways to take a scan of your mouth with your smartphone using the DentalMonitoring app. The app includes several video tutorials that will take you step by step through the process.
What Sort of Messages Will My Coach Send Me?
We will take a look at your scans that you provide through the app and will send updates and any instructions necessary to further your progress. For example, we may let you know what areas to concentrate on brushing if we see signs of tooth decay or gingivitis. We may also be able to tell you whether to continue to use an aligner that may not be fitting properly or to come in for a replacement.
Is the ScanBox Pro Dishwasher Safe?
No, the ScanBox Pro is NOT dishwasher safe and should never be placed in the dishwasher. The Cheek Retractor Tube that holds your mouth open should be cleaned with mild soap and cold water before and after each scan. Do not use disinfectant on the Cheek Retractor Tube or the phone support. If you’re unsure how to clean your device, refer to the instruction manual or contact us.
How Should the ScanBox Pro Be Stored?
Always store your ScanBox Pro in the mesh bag that comes with it. If you are storing or traveling with the ScanBox Pro, be sure not to put any heavy weight on or around it, as it could bend it out of shape and make it harder to get clear scans.
Healthy Smile; Healthy Life!
Our passion is positioning you for a lifetime of oral health. We also believe you’ll feel better about your appearance, will grow in self-confidence, and will smile more with braces or Invisalign treatment.
And at Ocean’s Edge Orthodontics, we believe that your smile is our legacy.
