“The real ROI is what you do with the time back.”Connect With Our SponsorsSolventum - https://go.solventum.com/clarityGreyFinch - https://greyfinch.com/jillallen/A-Dec - https://www.a-dec.com/orthodonticsSmileSuite - https://getsmilesuite.com/ Summary In this episode of Hey Docs!, Jill talks with Matt Miller from DentalMonitoring about how AI-powered remote monitoring is reshaping orthodontic patient communication, workflow, and scalability for both startups and established practices. Matt shares his 11-year orthodontic industry background and explains how DentalMonitoring improves the patient experience by increasing weekly communication while reducing unnecessary in-office “check” visits, giving time back to patients, teams, and doctors. They discuss why implementing remote monitoring early can help startups build better systems, reduce space and staffing needs, and maintain lower overhead while growing revenue. For established practices, they address common fears around adopting new technology, emphasizing phased rollout, actionable AI-driven alerts, and reallocating recovered chair time toward clinically necessary visits and practice growth. Matt highlights DentalMonitoring’s AI capabilities, FDA validation, Smart STL, and future workflow-streamlining possibilities.
