ClearCorrect and Dental Monitoring connect doctors and patients with mobile clear aligner monitoring

ROUND ROCK, Texas, Oct. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ClearCorrect, LLC, a leading manufacturer of clear aligners, is joining forces with Dental Monitoring SAS to empower doctors to monitor the progress of orthodontic treatment and communicate with patients more efficiently.

With Dental Monitoring’s easy-to-use app for iOS and Android, patients take photos of their treatment progress and upload them into the Dental Monitoring system. Dental Monitoring’s Photo Monitoring service uses proprietary machine learning algorithms to compare the images against a large body of previous data and provide the doctor with a detailed analysis on an information-rich website.

The system can also deliver messages to patients via the Dental Monitoring app. These messages can be customized by the doctor to address specific clinical situations, such as aligner fit issues, or loss of engagers. The software also has the potential to accelerate treatment by helping doctors assess whether the patient is ready to progress to the next aligner and sending customized wear instructions through the app.

Earlier this year, the Straumann Group invested in Dental Monitoring and secured global distribution rights to their technology, which it is now integrating into its portfolio of orthodontic and digital solutions. The two companies plan to collaborate to develop further applications for artificial intelligence in the dental field.

“Our investment in Dental Monitoring provides us with access to artificial intelligence technology,” commented Peter Zihla, Executive Vice President & Head of Straumann’s Digital Business Unit. “It secures an innovative partner with the necessary expertise to further the Group’s mission to develop cutting-edge solutions in dentistry and orthodontics.”

To celebrate this partnership, ClearCorrect is launching a new promotion offering doctors in the United States and Canada who register for Dental Monitoring a 15% discount on eligible ClearCorrect orders, two free cheek retractors, and free Photo Monitoring for the duration of treatment. To be eligible, the treatment setup for orders must be approved between acceptance in the promotion and December 31, 2018. ClearCorrect and Dental Monitoring are available in several countries but this promotional offer only extends to doctors located and practicing in the United States and Canada.  

Doctors can learn more and register for the promotion at clearcorrect.com/dm.
