Summary

The decision on aligner changing is based on orthodontists' personal experience and common knowledge that an approximated time span for the aligner have exhausted its biological efficacy. However, a one size fits all approach is not always ideal, as an average determined time is not taken into account of a patient's individual biological response. The aligners could be progressed earlier than the determined time, or they may stay inactive for a while, waiting for the in-office visit. Dental MonitoringTM is the only available technology that provides 3D monitoring of teeth movement, reconstructs 3D digital models remotely, and auto-detect clinical situations by their patented AI algorithms. The investigators have reported high accuracy of DMTM to monitor the tooth movement in vitro. However, the efficacy of DMTM on orthodontic treatment and the accuracy of DMTM in the orthodontic patients has not been investigated yet. In this proposal, the investigators are implementing the Dental MonitoringTM application and 3D tracking of tooth movement powered by AI algorisms as a novel tool to customize aligner changing intervals. The ultimate goal is to reduce in-office visits and treatment duration while maintaining regular monitoring, thus not jeopardizing expected results. It is imperative to investigate the Teledentistry for its effectiveness, reliability, ease of use, patient satisfaction, and value on the overall health and oral health system, especially as a critical tool during public health emergency situations.

Interventions

DEVICE

Clear Aligners with Dental Monitoring

Dental Monitoring™ (DM ™). This digital technology software allows orthodontists to monitor patients remotely through continuous analytics using control vision technology, metaheuristics, and artificial intelligence.31 This app utilizes a patented artificial intelligence machine learning algorithm to calculate 3-dimensional (3D) tooth movements from intraoral photos and videos that patients capture using their smartphone cameras.

DEVICE

Clear Aligners

Removabale orthodontics appliances
