Scanbox: Remote Monitoring for Your Clear Aligner Treatment

A Device Designed to Support Faster, More Predictable Treatment

Meet the Scanbox, a mobile device designed to help track your clear aligner progress from home while staying connected to your dental team.

The Scanbox works with the Dental Monitoring app, using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to analySe images of your teeth and track orthodontic movement throughout your treatment. By submitting regular scans, your dental professionals can review your progress remotely and determine when it’s time to move to your next aligner — helping reduce unnecessary clinic visits while keeping your treatment on track.

What is the Scanbox?

The Scanbox is a compact device that attaches to your smartphone and works with the Dental Monitoring app to capture clear images of your teeth.

These scans are analyzed using AI technology and reviewed by licensed dental professionals, allowing them to monitor your treatment progress closely. This remote monitoring system helps detect potential issues early, ensure aligners are fitting correctly, and maintain predictable tooth movement throughout treatment.

Small enough to fit easily in a bag, the Scanbox makes it simple to check in with your dental team wherever you are.

How Does It Work?

Using the Scanbox is quick and simple:

  1. Download the Dental Monitoring app on your iOS or Android device.

  2. Attach your phone to the Scanbox using the adjustable side grips.

  3. Position yourself in front of a mirror.

  4. Follow the prompts in the app to slowly scan your teeth from one side of your mouth to the other.

  5. Review your images and submit them through the app.

Your scans are then reviewed by the clinical team. Based on your progress, you’ll be advised whether to move to your next aligner or continue wearing your current one.

What Are the Benefits?

Remote monitoring with the Scanbox provides several advantages:

  • Convenient progress tracking from home

  • Reduced need for in-clinic visits

  • Early detection of potential fit or movement issues

  • Improved treatment monitoring

  • More predictable treatment timelines
