VIRTUAL APPOINTMENTS
Artificial intelligence in orthodontics
We are proud to be the first clinic in the San Francisco Bay Area with virtual appointments. The virtual appointments use AI that combines the most advanced machine vision in orthodontics with patented metaheuristic algorithms to remotely monitor a patient’s treatment using their smart phone.
WHAT ARE VIRTUAL APPOINTMENTS?
Virtual appointments are powered by an app available on both Android and iOS. It uses artificial intelligence technology to extract information from scans and photo-simulations to record and track your actual tooth movement over the course of treatment.
Every scan is checked by both the software and our doctor so that timely intervention and adjustments can be made to allow for the most efficient treatment. We can also communicate to you through the app to support compliance and motivation.
How it works
Take a scan
Every few days, you'll be notified to take a scan of your teeth using the app.
Analysis
Each scan is analyzed by the AI and personally reviewed by us, to reveal any complications, or changes to your progress.
Accelerated treatment
Your treatment plan is then altered and updated to reflect recent changes, allowing us to speed up treatment based on your biology. Aligner tray changes can be as fast as every three days.
ACCURATE ANALYSIS
The artificial intelligence can detect over 170 different clinical situations from images taken by patients using their smartphones.
After more than two million scans, the algorithm can calculate tooth by tooth displacements in fractions of a millimeter based on intrusion, extrusion, retraction, advancement, rotation, inclination and angulation variations from the original treatment plan.
