Can Invisalign® treatment be done remotely?

 

If you're thinking about straightening your smile with Invisalign® but worried about juggling appointments with work, school runs and daily life - you’re not alone.

At Coombe Orthodontics, we understand how busy modern families are. That’s why we’ve introduced smarter, more flexible ways to manage your treatment…without always needing to visit the clinic in person.

So, can Invisalign® treatment really be done remotely? The short answer is: yes, in many cases - thanks to a clever little tool called Dental Monitoring.

What is Dental Monitoring?

Dental Monitoring is a secure app that lets us track your Invisalign® progress from home. Using just your smartphone and a small scanning device, you can send regular photo updates of your smile directly to Dr Coombe and the team. We’ll analyse those images using advanced AI technology - and if all’s progressing as planned, you can skip the in-clinic check-up altogether.

This means fewer trips to the practice, faster adjustments when needed, and personalised feedback - without compromising care or results.

Is remote Invisalign® treatment safe and effective?

Yes, absolutely. At Coombe Orthodontics, we only offer remote care when it’s clinically appropriate. Our specialist-led team uses 3D scans, digital treatment planning and years of orthodontic experience to ensure your Invisalign® treatment is set up for success from day one.

With Dental Monitoring, we’re still in touch every step of the way. If something needs adjusting, we’ll spot it early and invite you in. You’re never on your own - but you’re free to get on with life.

Who is remote monitoring ideal for?

Remote Invisalign® treatment is especially popular with:

• Time-poor professionals who want to minimise time off work
• Parents juggling school pickups and sports schedules
• Teens who want independence with their treatment
• Rural or regional patients who live further from the clinic

We offer remote care from both our Toukley and Wahroonga locations, and you’ll still have access to in-person support if needed.

Can I get fast results with remote Invisalign® treatment?

Yes! Many of our fast-track Invisalign® options work beautifully alongside Dental Monitoring. For example:

• Invisalign® Express: Ideal for mild spacing or post-braces movement (approx. 3-4 months)
• Invisalign® Lite: Suitable for minor crowding or aesthetic tweaks (approx. 6-8 months)
• Invisalign® Comprehensive: For more complex needs (up to 24 months)
• AcceleDent: A device used at home to help speed up tooth movement, reducing treatment time by up to 50%

You’ll still get the same expert oversight - just with more flexibility and fewer disruptions to your routine.

Will I still need to visit the clinic at all?

Yes, but not as often. You’ll always start with a full consultation with Dr Coombe, our Specialist Orthodontist. We’ll take detailed records (including x-rays and 3D scans) and map out your personalised treatment plan.

After that, many reviews can be done remotely. You’ll still pop in for key milestones or if we need to adjust things, but the number of in-person appointments is significantly reduced.
