We’re making your Invisalign treatment more efficient than ever

At Wickham Terrace Dental we’re proud to be a “technology practice” – where we invest in the latest and best tech to give our patients better experiences and outcomes.

Our latest exciting innovation is Dental Monitoring – basically a smartphone app that lets us monitor your Invisalign treatment from the comfort of your own home.

Even better, Dental Monitoring can mean fewer visits to the dentist. Since we can see exactly what’s changing with your smile, we can give you even more accurate advice and treatment options.

What can Dental Monitoring offer you?

With the Dental Monitoring app we can easily see how your Invisalign treatment is progressing, wherever you are. That means:

Fewer appointments – Instead of having routine appointments scheduled every 3 aligners, we’ll only need to see you in person if we have to adjust your treatment plan.

See results faster – With your regular photos of your teeth, we can more easily track the progress of your Invisalign treatment, for faster results.

Keep in touch with us easily – You can contact our team any time through the app to ask us questions.

How does Dental Monitoring work with Invisalign?

During your initial Invisalign consultation, we’ll use our 3D iTero scanner to build a very accurate digital model of your teeth and smile. Then as you use your aligners, you simply take weekly pictures of your smile through your Dental Monitoring app and easily send them to us.

This incredible technology uses complex algorithms to generate high-resolution 3-dimensional models of your teeth and gums. These are analysed by AI within the Dental Monitoring software to match your “smile selfies” against your projected progress to see how you’re doing. A report is generated which is read by our clinicians and any required action can be taken.

If everything is going well, we won’t need to ask you to come in and see us. We may even recommend you switch to your next set of aligners early, potentially speeding up your treatment time!

And if you need more time with the same set of aligners, you won’t have wasted a trip into the city (even though we’ll miss seeing you!).
