Dental Monitoring at Eckels Orthodontics

By admin 01/01/2025
We do everything on our phones today, from listening to our kids favorite music to electronic banking, to seeing who is at our front door while we’re away from home.

At Eckels Orthodontics, we’re excited to announce that at our practice you can now use an app on your phone to manage your orthodontic treatment too!

Do I need to come to the office prior to starting treatment?

It’s very important to take X-rays before starting any orthodontic treatment and 3D models are the best. The thing people often forget is that your teeth are bones in your face and orthodontic treatment means moving those bones. Orthodontists are specially trained with years of dental school and then additional years of orthodontic training in order to specialize. They need to be sure of exact placements in order to create the right treatment plan for you or your child.

Plus, after a 3D scan, at Eckels Orthodontics we can show you projected smile outcomes right then and there!

Why is Dental Monitoring so great?
- Visit the office less often – We all have busy lives and we know that scheduling orthodontic appointments can be difficult. There’s school and rehearsals and sports practice to navigate around. Dental Monitoring allows us to monitor your progress remotely, which means fewer physical appointments. Less time inside an office and less time figuring out schedules.
- No missing appointments – You can do them on the road! Well, we don’t recommend doing them while driving, but you know what we mean. Our app will send you reminders on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to take pictures – a virtual appointment.
- Better control – Since we’re getting more frequent data about your progress with the pictures you send us, we can make adjustments faster than we could if we didn’t see you for a whole month. Plus we can track things like oral hygiene level, aligners fitting, possible presence of teeth abrasion and decays or brackets issues that will allow us to make recommendations in real time.
- Treatment times are faster – All those pictures allow us to detect issues faster and see your mouth more frequently. That means our in-person appointments (yes, we still do those, just less often), are so much more efficient. Efficiency = faster treatment times!
- More communication means better compliance and improved confidence – Using remote monitoring allows our patients to take an active role in achieving the smile of their dreams. Plus hearing from Dr. Eckels more frequently improves confidence and compliance.
Does Remote Monitoring cost more than regular orthodontic treatment at Eckels Orthodontics?

Nope! Our goal is always the best outcomes and that means providing our patients with the best treatment plan and regular access to Dr. Eckels. We provide remote monitoring for no additional cost.

These virtual appointments take about 3 minutes – talk about FAST!

Personalized treatment plus remote appointments with Invisalign with Eckels Orthodontics equals awesome outcomes.

We live our lives virtually, so why would you trust your orthodontic care to someone who isn’t embracing technological advances? Dr. Eckels is a leading orthodontist, helping to pioneer this awesome technology. With his expertise in orthodontic treatment and his agility with the latest tech, you’ll be on the road to a straighter, healthier smile in no time!
