Too many don't. They happen because the calendar says so, not because the patient needs to be there — and everyone in the room can feel it. It's time that changed.

That's exactly what DentalMonitoring was designed for.
A mid-course correction, refinement, or retention scan used to mean bringing the patient back in. SmartSTL changes that — a remote scan is all it takes to generate a production-ready STL file, no extra appointment needed.*
*Initial in-practice intraoral scan + stage file remain necessary.
Most orthodontists are still asking whether a remote scan can really replace a trip to the chair for refinement planning. A new peer-reviewed case report in Seminars in Orthodontics (2025) put that question to the test — tracking a full clear aligner treatment scan by scan, then measuring the remotely generated STL directly against a conventional intraoral scan.
"With just one click and a home scan from my monitored patients, I can start refinements instantly. The process takes just one day — faster than scheduling and attending an in-office visit!"
"By leveraging DentalMonitoring's scans and AI, we cut a typical 11-visit aligner treatment down to just 4 in-person visits."
