Thanks to technology, there are more options for straightening your teeth than ever before. Aside from the many types of braces or clear aligners available, you now have the ability to get straighter teeth from the comfort of home. But not all at-home orthodontic systems are created equally. Most of the mail-order brands you see online might promise fast results, but in reality, they are not backed by orthodontists.
But we have good news! At Dr. Melanie Orthodontics, you can get the best of all worlds: expert orthodontic care with Dr. Melanie Wang, beautiful results in less time and the freedom to get your dream smile at home. With Grin Remote Monitoring, there’s no need for frequent trips to your Rancho Santa Fe and San Diego orthodontist. This high-tech, at-home orthodontic system allows you to straighten your teeth in the fastest, most convenient way possible.

Benefits of Grin Remote Monitoring
Convenient
It’s never been easier to track the progress of your smile than with Grin Remote Monitoring. You no longer need to see your orthodontist for check-ins — just submit your self-scans through the app!
High-Tech
The Grin App and Grin Scope use state-of-the-art technology to take accurate, precise scans of your mouth so your orthodontist has all the information they need to monitor your smile.
Easy to Use
Taking your own scans is incredibly simple. The App will first guide you to turn your phone horizontally, then to stand in front of a mirror and place the scope in your mouth to complete the scan.
Orthodontist Approved
Other at-home orthodontic systems are not approved, backed or monitored by orthodontists. When you use the Grin App, you know you’re getting the specialized expertise you expect.
No Disruption
Using the Grin App means minimal disruption to your life. Since you won’t have to make regular visits to your Santa Diego or Rancho Santa Fe orthodontist, you’ll have more time to do the things you love.
Faster Results
You might have less face time with your San Diego or Rancho Santa Fe orthodontist when you use Grin Remote Monitoring, but that doesn’t mean you’ll sacrifice results. In fact, it just means you’ll likely see your brand new smile sooner!
