Morita Orthodontics is proud to be at the forefront of modern orthodontic advancements. Committed to providing our patients with the best of the best, our team stays on top of emerging technology to provide the most up-to-date treatment possible. One of these advancements includes a nifty addition known as dental monitoring.
Dental monitoring is a convenient tool that Morita Orthodontics has incorporated to help streamline the orthodontic treatment process in Honolulu. Once your treatment has begun, a cutting-edge mobile app can be downloaded to your phone. Once you have the app, you will be able to submit photos of your teeth through it for the team at Morita to view. Once we receive them, we can analyze them to track progress remotely. Using predictive software, we are able to evaluate progress and predict future movement. Because of this convenient tool, we can reduce the number of in-office check-up appointments that are needed.
Does that mean dental monitoring is a replacement for the orthodontist? Of course not! Dental monitoring is simply an additional tool that supplements your treatment to add a layer of flexibility and efficiency. Dr. Morita and his team will be by your side from your first consultation through the end of treatment – and beyond! What dental monitoring offers is an alternative to in-person visits that help streamline treatment and speed up the overall timeline. Think of it as having a direct line to your orthodontist right in your pocket! Whether you’re busy with school, work, or planning to be out of town, you can stay committed to your orthodontic care with just a few taps on the screen. We can communicate back with you with any guidance needed, including if we notice an emerging issue that needs to be addressed in the office. Dental monitoring is a wonderful tool for added convenience and accurate treatment tracking, but it will never replace the expert training or personal repertoire that comes from a trained orthodontist like Dr. Morita.
Dental monitoring is one of the many things offered at Morita Orthodontics aimed toward providing our patients with the highest quality, most progressive care. Whether you’re pursuing metal braces, Invisalign, or one of our other types of braces, dental monitoring can provide a streamlined experience that makes your life easier!

RE: COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
To our valued patients,
In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), President Trump, the American Dental Association and the Hawaii Dental Association are recommending all dentists postpone nonemergency dental procedures for 2 weeks. Our practice is committed to protecting the community and avoiding using valuable resources that our first responders and frontline healthcare providers will need.
Our office will be closed effective today, Wednesday, March 18, and we plan to resume regular hours on Wednesday, April 1. If you are experiencing a true dental emergency including swelling or severe tooth pain, please call your general dentist office, and listen closely as emergency contact info will be available. For all nonemergent questions, please email us at [email protected].
We are so sorry for the burden this places on your schedules, but your continued health and safety are our number one priority. Our office is working diligently to reschedule all patients with existing appointments within the next 2 weeks. We will continue to evaluate the situation as it evolves and determine on a weekly basis when it is appropriate for us to return to normal orthodontic patient care. We ask for your compassion and understanding at this time as we all work together to keep Hawaii healthy.
Sincerely,
Your Morita Orthodontics Ohana
