Ta-Da: Introducing Dental Monitoring

It’s not every day a new advanced technology that revolutionises the orthodontic services Christchurch residents can access is introduced, but dental monitoring does just that. Duxton Dental’s Riccarton dentists are delighted to launch a dental monitoring service for our Invisalign patients.

What is dental monitoring?

Dental monitoring uses the latest technology in orthodontic treatment. It’s the world’s first remote monitoring solution to help dentists supervise and update Invisalign treatment using smartphone compatible technology.


It doesn’t matter whether you are physically near our dental clinics in Christchurch or further afield, your Invisalign aligners can be planned and optimised through virtual check-ups.


How to set up dental monitoring

The process for setting up dental monitoring is simple, follow these three steps:


Step 1. Tailored treatment plan

If you are at the start of your orthodontic journey, book an appointment with Duxton Dental to assess the orthodontic treatment options available to you (for example, Invisalign aligners, removable plates, or more traditional orthodontic braces). If Invisalign aligners are the best dental treatment for you, our specialist Christchurch orthodontics team create a tailored Invisalign treatment plan for each patient to use in conjunction with the dental monitoring software.


Step 2. Brace fitting and app instructions

At your next (or first) fitting appointment we show you which smartphone app to download and explain the dental monitoring system. We show you the best way to use the app and how our Riccarton dentists review the images they receive. When you are happy with how your Invisalign braces feel, you are good to go.


Step 3. And snap

All you need to do now is update us weekly with images of your teeth. The images from the dental monitoring app are tracked and compared to your treatment plan, so you’ll only have to come and see us when adjustments need to be made.


What does dental monitoring mean for you?


  • Saves time – less visits to our Christchurch dental clinic for review appointments. You only get called in when there is dental care needed.


  • Increased convenience – upload images at a time that suits your schedule. You can use the app 24/7.


  • More efficient orthodontic treatment – weekly reviews of your smile’s progress means any tweaks and amendments that need to be made to your Invisalign braces are organised quickly for precise and accurate dental care.


  • Speedy identification of any issues – if you have any concerns about your Invisalign aligners or if you experience discomfort, your dentist can review the images and identify a solution swiftly. Dental monitoring provides a quick response.


  • Increased communication with your dentist – if you have any questions about how your Invisalign treatment is progressing, you can send any queries through the app. Dental monitoring gives patients peace of mind.


Dental care is more than just about how your teeth look; it’s about helping you maintain and achieve good oral and general health. At Duxton Dental we are always looking at ways we can use modern dentistry technologies to further improve our patients’ dental care experiences – and dental monitoring is the latest string to our bow.


If you want to learn more about our dental monitoring service, call us today on 03 348 5488, we look forward to hearing from you.

Tired of your crooked teeth? Desperate to be able to smile with confidence? When it comes to straightening your teeth, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the aesthetic impact of cosmetic dental treatment . And with good reason: orthodontic braces can transform even the most challenging set of teeth into a Hollywood-worthy smile. With dental care innovations skyrocketing over the past decade, Invisalign is the comparatively new kid on the orthodontic block – delivering the same results as traditional braces but with near invisibility, supreme convenience and incomparable comfort. But Invisalign offers much more than just a cosmetic dentistry upgrade and welcome boost to your self-esteem and confidence. As one of the leading options for teeth alignment, Invisalign transforms not only the appearance of your teeth but also improves your overall dental health. Whether you’re looking for a discreet solution for teeth straightening or seeking better dental care, Invisalign treatment provides several benefits that go beyond aesthetics. At Duxton Dental clinic in Christchurch, quality Invisalign treatment is tailored to your individual and unique needs to give you that perfect smile but also the health benefits of Invisalign: Improved oral hygiene and health A major benefit of Invisalign treatment is its ability to enhance your oral hygiene routine. The wires and brackets of traditional orthodontic braces can make brushing and flossing a challenging task, which can result in poor oral hygiene during the teeth straightening process. However, with Invisalign, the removable aligners allow you to brush and floss your teeth without any obstructions. During the Invisalign process, you’ll notice how straighter teeth make it easier to clean your entire mouth thoroughly. This ease of cleaning maintains overall dental health by ensuring plaque and food particles don’t get trapped around teeth, decreasing the risk of cavities and gum disease and promoting healthier gums and teeth.
