3. Give the aligners and the supplies to your patient

1. Help them wear aligners #1 
2. Give them the rest of the aligner sets (or as many as you would like) to take home along with the case, the chewies and the removal tool.
   • Make sure to keep the instructions sheet in the office. You will need it again in future appointments.
3. Give them 3 bags of each kind of elastics that the patient will be needing.

There is no need to give your patient any instructions on when or how to wear their elastics, how to use their or how to take care of the aligners. The patient will be receiving instructions through their Dental Monitoring app.

2. Ask the patient to find an email invitation that has been sent to them from Dental Monitoring titled “Welcome to DentalMonitoring”.
   If they have not received it, you can click on the “Mail” button in the actions tab to re-send them the invitation email.

• In case the patient’s email has been entered wrong and you need to correct it, click on the “Information” tab, make the necessary changes and re-send the invitation email.

3. In the mobile app, confirm that the patient selects “ScanBox Pro” as their Scan Settings. if not, click on “EDIT SCAN SETTINGS” and select “ScanBox Pro”. Also confirm that the patient allows notifications from the app when asked.

4. Once the Dental Monitoring app asks them to perform a scan, hand them the Dental Monitoring kit and help them do their first scan. Here is a video if you need a reminder on how to scan with Dental Monitoring:

5. Write clinical notes and update Visit status

Click on “Mark Complete” and add any notes to the Office Visit if any of the planned actions could not be done as planned (e.g. could not bond attachment on tooth #…).

6. Explain Communication, Check to-do List and Dismiss Patient

Tell the patient that they will be receiving all the communication of instructions, what to do from now on and future appointments through the Dental Monitoring app. They will also be using the Dental Monitoring app to text us back with any questions/concerns that might come up. Make sure that you checked all the to-do list and dismiss them.
