Do you have many run-on patients? Are some of your appointment intervals greater than 10 weeks? Do you like to try new Tx Mechanotherapies? If so, dental monitoring might help…maybe not.
Dental Monitoring is a new way to keep track of your patient’s treatment. In general, keeping track of most patients is part of your service, but sometimes that can get out of control. If your appointment intervals are 10 or more weeks, patients can get lost or their treatment may go off course due to non-cooperation, misdiagnosis, or damaged braces. If a patient reschedules many times or misses many appointments, they can easily become run-on patients, with or without long appointment intervals. Dental Monitoring can be used for both Braces and Aligner Treatment Mechanotherapies.
