Frequently Asked Questions
What is a remote orthodontic initial screening?
It's a preliminary evaluation that uses a combination of real-time video consultations and high-resolution photos submitted by the patient to assess orthodontic needs. This allows an orthodontist to evaluate malocclusion, crowding, spacing, and facial aesthetics without an initial in-office visit.
How accurate is a remote screening?
Clinical studies show a high degree of accuracy. The diagnostic concordance (agreement) between remote screenings and traditional in-office examinations is between 82-90%. Furthermore, fewer than 15% of preliminary plans developed from remote screenings require significant changes after an in-person evaluation.
What are the main benefits for me as a patient?
The key benefits are convenience, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness. You can complete the screening from home, saving travel time and expense. It makes specialized orthodontic evaluations available to people in rural or underserved areas and is often more affordable than a full in-office consultation.
What technology do I need for a remote screening?
Typically, you will need a smartphone with a good camera and an internet connection. Our HIPAA-compliant teledentistry platform includes mobile applications with interactive guides and AI-powered feedback to help you capture high-quality, diagnostic-standard images.
