“The purpose of Dental Monitoringisn’t to disconnect you from your patient, it’s to make sure you see them atthe right moment for the right reason.”

“Fix problems early andyou don’t have problems. If you intercept an issue straight away, you can oftenavoid side effects altogether.”

“If you don’t change yourprotocol, DM won’t reduce appointments, you do. The technology empowers smarterscheduling, not magic.”

“AI isn’t replacingorthodontists. It’s replicating their eyes, helping you catch what you’d wantto see, every single week.”

In this episode, I’m joined by PhilippeSalah, CEO and founder of DentalMonitoring. We explore the evolution of AI-based remote monitoring in orthodontics, how it aims to change the way we communicate with patients, provide data of our practice but also where the evidence remains mixed. Philippe addresses questions on reliability, patient compliance, and the impact on rapport when monitoring replaces in-personvisits. We discuss the real-world challenges of cost, protocol adaptation and workflow change, as well as the future role of AI, sustainability, and data-driven insight in clinical practice.
