Remote Monitoring Enables Superior Patient Care
Connect with Dr. Hughes remotely using the Grin app. Our care team will virtually monitor your progress with self-scans using the Grin Scope. We'll message you directly about your treatment, reducing the need for in-person visits.
A Safer, More Convenient Approach to Orthodontic Care
We are excited to introduce Grin, a safer, more convenient approach to orthodontic care. Grin offers an easy-to-use Scope that enables you to take self-scans of your mouth from all angles and send them directly to us through the secure app. We can then monitor your progress, answer questions, and discuss your treatment plan, without requiring an office visit for every check-in.
Grin allows us to stay closely connected to your oral health and treatment while helping address any concerns quickly, often before they become issues. This means fewer interruptions to your work, school, or family schedule and a more comfortable overall experience.
How Grin Remote Monitoring Works
- Receive Your Grin Scope: We provide the compact device at the beginning of your treatment (included with clear aligners, KLOwen braces, or other options).
- Take Quick Self-Scans: Every 2–4 weeks (or as recommended), use the Scope with your smartphone for guided, high-quality scans that take just a few minutes at home.
- We Review and Respond: Dr. Hughes and our team analyze your progress in real time and send personalized guidance or adjustments directly through the app.
- Fewer In-Office Visits: Come in only when hands-on adjustments or final refinements are needed, saving you significant time while keeping results on track or even ahead of schedule.
This technology integrates beautifully with all the smile solutions we offer at Hughes Orthodontics.
