Aligner Checks
This is ____ from _____ Orthodontics. I just wanted to remind you to send in pictures of your teeth with your trays in and out like the samples attached. Thanks so much! Have a great day!
Once the patient returns the images, you can proceed to discuss next steps in their treatment.
The example below shows an aligner image returned from a patient.
The provider sent the image back with a blue arrow asking the patient to use chewies to try to get the aligner to seat better.
The patient proceeded to share that the aligner was seated all the way and stops at the yellow marks. However, teeth labeled 1,2,3 have a little air at the top.
The provider was able to get a clear idea of the patient's current treatment status to provide the proper next steps.
