## Communication and office care

For DentalMonitoring, professional supervision and regular care remain necessary; its monitoring software does not replace the clinician's treatment decisions\.

For someone balancing school, work or travel, an assigned check\-in offers a way to send information without making that submission an office visit\. Personal directions and visit arrangements still come from your care team\.



## Appointments and total treatment time

A 2023 single\-center randomized aligner trial of 56 people found 1\.5 fewer appointments but 1\.9 months longer total treatment with DentalMonitoring\. Its abstract does not establish what your care will achieve\.

Appointments and total treatment duration are different endpoints\. This trial does not establish a speed benefit for Grin, FXOnTrack™ or SMILE\-FX®\.



## A new conversation is a different service

An initial virtual/photo consultation is separate from ongoing monitoring and from an in\-person examination\. The team confirms the available scope, eligibility and arrangements\.

The Miramar consultation is free\. The team confirms the appointment and assessment scope before you travel\.

An in\-person examination with a dentist licensed under chapter 466, Florida Statutes, is recommended before beginning telehealth treatment in order to prevent injury or harm
