Stay Confident. Keep Smiling.
Orthodontic Dental Monitoring in Central Maryland
Available exclusively for our Invisalign® patients, Dental Monitoring is a convenient, tech-driven way to stay in touch with your orthodontic team throughout your treatment. Using a secure app on your smartphone, you’ll send us regular photo updates so we can track your progress in real time, without requiring extra office visits.
It’s the perfect fit for busy families, working professionals, college students, and anyone who wants expert guidance and peace of mind between appointments. Whether you’re managing aligner changes or just want to make sure everything’s on track, Dental Monitoring gives you real-time feedback with the same personalized care you expect from our in-person visits.
What Is Dental Monitoring?
Dental Monitoring is a cutting-edge tool that allows our Invisalign patients to stay on track with their orthodontic treatment from anywhere.
Instead of coming into the office for every aligner check or progress appointment, you’ll use your smartphone and the DentalMonitoring app (available for both iOS and Android devices) to send us weekly or bi-weekly scans of your smile. These high-quality images give your orthodontist a detailed view of how your teeth are moving, just like an in-office check-up but virtual.
With this advanced technology, we can:
- Confirm if your aligners are fitting properly
- Monitor your tooth movement and track your treatment progress
- Let you know when you’re ready to move on to your next set of aligners
- Make adjustments to your treatment timeline if needed
- Give you feedback and encouragement throughout your journey
Whether you’re at school, work, or home, Dental Monitoring makes it easier to get expert oversight without disrupting your routine. Since your progress is reviewed by our experienced Labbe Family orthodontists, you can feel confident that your Invisalign treatment is always in good hands.

How Does the DentalMonitoring App and ScanBox Work?
Using just your smartphone, the DentalMonitoring app, and a special tool called the ScanBox, you’ll send high-quality images of your teeth directly to your orthodontist. Here’s how it works:
- You’ll Receive a ScanBox & App Setup During Your Appointment: When you start Dental Monitoring, we’ll walk you through how to download the app and use your ScanBox. The ScanBox is a small device that helps you take clear, consistent images of your smile.
- You Take Weekly (or Bi-Weekly) Scans at Home: Using your smartphone and the ScanBox, you’ll take guided photos of your teeth following the app’s prompts. It’s quick, easy, and only takes a few minutes!
- We Review Every Scan: Your orthodontist reviews your scans to track how your teeth are moving, ensure your aligners are fitting properly, and determine when it’s time to move to the next set.
- You Get Updates Right in the App: After reviewing your scans, we’ll send personalized feedback or instructions. You’ll always know where you are in your treatment and what’s next.
