Dental Monitoring AI

Artificial Intelligence is Here – Now Offering Virtual Orthodontic Appointments

At Villanova Dental Studio, we know our patients’ time is valuable. That’s why we offer time-saving amenities like text messaging correspondence, online patient forms, iTero digital impressions, and now, virtual Orthodontic appointments via the Dental Monitoring app! Using this app will allow our talented team of doctors to monitor your treatment more closely, efficiently, and in a timelier manner than in the past.  This allows you to spend less time in our office, and more time enjoying life! And better yet… there is no extra charge for this advanced digital treatment service.

What is the Dental Monitoring app?

Dental Monitoring is an easy-to-use app that allows you to send images and videos of your teeth to our office throughout your treatment. Your Invisalign or Braces treatment will begin with an in-office consultation where we will gather the information required to plan your treatment. After the initial consultation, you will be seen in the office on an as-needed basis, depending on what your scans show. The Dental Monitoring app will greatly reduce the number of in-office visits required.
 

How Does it Work?

At the start of your treatment, we will help you set up an account within the Dental Monitoring app on your phone. You will receive your own cheek retractors and we will guide you through the process of taking a photo or video scan. For Invisalign treatment, you will send a quick scan to our office every week. Based on the result of the scan, we can let you know if you should move on to your next set of aligners or continue with your current set. You can also send us a scan if you have a question or an issue with your treatment.

Why Use Dental Monitoring?

The best part about the Dental Monitoring app is that you can use it literally anywhere that has cell phone coverage! Virtual Orthodontic appointments are great for all patients who find it difficult to get into the office, including:

• College Students
• Adults that travel for work
• Kids that participate in extracurricular activities after school (and their parents)
• Individuals with limited transportation
• Parents with multiple kids
• Anyone who wants to make their treatment process easier!

The Benefits of Dental Monitoring 

1. Fewer In-Office Appointments: The app allows Dr. Barakat to monitor your progress virtually, limiting the number of times you’ll need to visit our practice. In-office appointments may still be necessary, but only on an as-needed basis.
2. Real-Time Results: The ability to monitor progress virtually on a weekly basis can streamline the efficiency of your orthodontic treatment while limiting the need for in-office appointments as progress and results are tracked in real time.
3. Instant Access to Dr. Barakat: In-app messaging allows you to contact Dr. Barakat with any questions you may have throughout treatment.
4. Real-Time Tracking & Support:  Through weekly scans, Dr. Barakat can monitor progress closely, and make adjustments as needed as opposed to the normal cadence of several weeks between in-office appointments. Additionally, the Dental Monitoring app provides reminders and push notifications to help you stay on track.
