Virtual Orthodontic Monitoring

Burlingame Smile Studio, serving Burlingame and nearby, extends a heartfelt welcome to patients from San Bruno, Hillsborough, and Millbrae.

Dental monitoring for Invisalign makes orthodontic treatment easier.Burlingame Smile Studio has made a solid commitment to always provide access to the latest technology for all of our patients. Not only do we want to make your dental experience as comfortable and convenient as it can be, but we also strive for the maximum efficiency and effectiveness of every treatment.

That’s why we’re excited to be using the fantastic virtual orthodontic monitoring system: Dental Monitoring. With this technology, we can improve your braces or Invisalign® treatment without the hassle of extra visits to the office.

What Is Dental Monitoring?

Dental Monitoring is a quick and easy way to keep tabs on your orthodontic progress, and it only involves two pieces of equipment:

  • A mouth retractor or Dental Monitoring scan box.
  • Your own smartphone/tablet.

The mouth retractor holds your lips and cheeks away from your teeth, and the smartphone takes an image of what it sees. Both you and our orthodontist can look at these images to make sure that your treatment is progressing as it should.

It really is that simple. Just a regular selfie that can make your treatment many times more effective.

The Dental Monitoring scan box means less office visits to Burlingame orthodontist Dr. April Lee.How Does Dental Monitoring Work in Conjunction With Your Invisalign® Aligners or Braces?

While undergoing any orthodontic treatment, it is necessary for the orthodontist to regularly check on your teeth to make sure they are behaving as expected.

If something has gone wrong with the adjustment, or your teeth aren’t reacting as they should, these regular checkups catch those discrepancies and correct them while decreasing the number of in-office visits. This is very helpful for busy professionals, as well as for families who might have difficulty making it to the office for physical appointments.

Dental Monitoring increases the number of check-ins that we can do without any need for more frequent office visits. In fact, these monitoring check-ins can help with a number of treatment questions and concerns with just the touch of a smartphone button. These include:

  • Giving the patient reminders when it’s time to change to the next Invisalign® clear aligner in the treatment series.
  • Giving the orthodontist warnings when dental aligners or braces are not fitting properly.
  • Showing the speed and direction of tooth movement.
  • Giving warnings when oral hygiene deterioration is detected.

All of this will normally happen at a regular checkup, but it will happen sooner with a Dental Monitoring scan box.

What are the Benefits of Dental Monitoring Scan Boxes?

  1. Dental Monitoring saves time. Waiting for a pre-scheduled appointment to discover any orthodontic treatment issues can slow down the orthodontic process significantly. Any time spent between the start of the issue and its discovery at your next appointment is time lost.By using Dental Monitoring for Invisalign® aligners and other braces systems, we can prevent that lost time. As soon as an issue presents itself, the regular images taken with the Dental Monitoring Scan Box or cheek retractors will show those issues to Dr. Lee and our staff. They can be corrected right away through sending instructions on the Dental Monitoring app or by scheduling an immediate appointment.
  2. Dental Monitoring can be done anywhere. Whether you’re at home on a quiet weekend or on the beach soaking up the sun, you can use the Dental Monitoring app to send your regular check-in images to us. All you need is an internet connection.
  3. Dental Monitoring scans are fast. The entire process is quick and easy, with no need for any laborious homework. Simply take a selfie with the cheek retractors or the Dental Monitoring scan box, and you’re set to go.

Will I Still Work With an Orthodontist?

Yes. Dr. Lee will still be involved in your entire orthodontic treatment process from start to finish. The only difference is that some of that involvement will be through the Dental Monitoring app, instead of face-to-face. We will keep track of every check-in image, and we will use our orthodontic training and experience to make sure your treatment is on course.

Testimonials

“Thrilled with my experience! Dr. Lee took me as a transfer patient after leaving an orthodontist I wasn't happy with. My only regret is not starting with her in the first place.”

Eugene C.

Diana L.

“Dr Lee is amazing! Our son has been undergoing biphosphonate treatment for his bones which can affect the way his teeth move. Dr Lee told us that she would do everything possible for our boy to get the smile he so much wanted. And she’s accomplished just that!”

Tai L.

“My retainers broke and Dr. Lee was able to see me the next day. As for the results, they were fantastic. I’m showing off my pearly whites in all my photos now. Now only if Dr. Lee can work wonders on my dating profile!”

Niman M.

“Burlingame Smile Studio has literally been the best orthodontic office ever(I’ve visited a few)!! Getting braces was something that I always dreaded, especially getting braces as an adult. Dr. Lee and the whole staff at Burlingame Smile Studio have made this journey so easy that I can’t even believe I’ve already hit my 1 year mark.”

Joseph R.

“Loved working with them. Attentive and caring, skilled group of people. I got to them as a second opinion after I was told I needed actual braces (train tracks) to fix my adult ortho problems (medical necessity, not just cosmetic) the team at Smile Studios said it was totally possible without that and they were right, now 2 years later I have a beautiful result!”

Suzanna J.

"Dr. Lee and her staff are great. Really nice and professional. They seem to have all the new technology for getting impressions for my aligners and making sure my teeth straighten out. Very impressed!"

Allen N.

“My overbite needs a surgical intervention, which Dr. Lee had told me in my first consultation and she has done a phenomenal job getting me ready for the surgery in such a short period of time. She communicates with my surgeon and promptly shares updates with me. I am extremely happy with the progress so far and confident that I will continue to feel the same through the remainder of this journey.”

Abhishek G.

“Dr. Lee was a delight to work with for my daughter's phase I orthodontic treatment. She gave us the option of traditional braces or Invisalign at the same cost (which I think is an uncommon practice); this which allowed us to make the best choice for our daughter's needs.”

Poojah S.

“I love Dr. Lee and the entire staffs, very friendly and accommodating. I love the service I've received from the beginning to end and the outcome is superb...best experience!!! I highly recommend Burlingame Smile Studio.”
