Retainers4Life has partnered with DentalMonitoring to revolutionise orthodontic retention using artificial intelligence (AI). The fast-growing orthodontic business - which helps patients preserve their straight smile after treatment - launched RetentionMonitoring powered by DentalMonitoring, an AI-based remote monitoring solution that allows patients to track any unwanted relapse by taking a precise scan of their teeth anytime and anywhere.

The scans will then be shared with Retainers4Life through the DentalMonitoring app, a cloud-based platform for remote clinical monitoring of orthodontic treatments, enabling detection of any relapse, as well as oral health evaluation. Using the ScanBoxpro , a portable device with two components - a cheek retractor tube designed to draw the cheeks and lips from the buccal and labial surfaces of the teeth and gums during scanning and a phone holder designed to accommodate a smartphone - patients can precisely monitor retention without visiting a practice.

Retainers4Life uniquely serves the needs of both the practice and the patient by manufacturing replacement retainers remotely, without the need to attend a practice. The RetentionMonitoring service is part of a new pay monthly plan, which will allow patients to pay a small monthly fee, providing assisted notifications and guidance if any action is needed, or if it's time for a new fresh set of retainers.

With Retainers4Life, patients can also order retainers 'on-line' from their most recent in-person 3D scan as a one-time purchase, with the option of a pay monthly plan to get future sets of retainers every year, as well as a Subscribe & Save model.
