Remote Orthodontic Monitoring with Grin®
Providing convenient, accessible care is one of the reasons Stellar Orthodontics offers virtual check-ins through Grin Remote Monitoring. With progress monitored by Dr. Sidhu, this innovative platform allows us to track your orthodontic treatment remotely with precision, helping you stay on schedule while spending less time in the office. Best of all, there is no additional cost for this service.
What is Grin Remote Monitoring?
Grin Remote Monitoring is a user-friendly app that lets you share images and videos of your teeth directly with our office using your phone and a Grin Scope. Whether you’re at home, school, work, or traveling, Grin makes it easy to stay connected to your orthodontic care.
After your initial in-person consultation, much of your progress can be reviewed virtually, meaning fewer in-office visits without compromising results. Grin also helps make your appointments more efficient, since we can identify what needs attention before you even arrive.
Whether you’re wearing braces or clear aligners, Grin helps ensure your treatment stays on track from anywhere.
How Does It Work?
At the start of treatment, our doctor will help you download and set up the Grin app on your phone. You’ll receive a Grin Scope and simple instructions for capturing clear images at home.
Instead of waiting weeks between visits for feedback, you’ll receive regular updates throughout treatment. If you have a question or concern, you can send a scan anytime, it’s quick and easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Grin Remote Monitoring makes orthodontic care more convenient, but it’s normal to have a few questions before getting started. Below are answers to some of the most common questions patients and parents ask about virtual orthodontic check-ins at Stellar Orthodontics.
Is Grin Remote Monitoring safe and accurate for orthodontic treatment?
Yes. Grin is a trusted system used by orthodontists to monitor tooth movement between visits safely. Dr. Sidhu reviews your scans to ensure your treatment stays on track and any concerns are addressed early.
Does Grin replace all in-office orthodontic appointments?
Not completely. Grin helps reduce the number of routine checkups, but you’ll still come into the office when adjustments, new aligners, or hands-on care are needed. It’s a helpful supplement, not a full replacement.
Will Grin work if I have braces instead of aligners?
Yes. Grin Remote Monitoring can be used for both braces and clear aligner treatment. Dr. Sidhu will let you know if it’s the right fit for your specific treatment plan.
Do I need special technology skills to use the Grin app?
Not at all. The app is designed to be simple and user-friendly. Our team will walk you through the setup and make sure you feel comfortable before you begin.
What happens if Grin detects a problem during treatment?
If something looks off—like an aligner not fitting properly or unexpected tooth movement—our team will contact you. In some cases, we may schedule an in-office visit to make sure everything stays on track.
