Orthodontic treatment can be a considerable expense for most patients; however, only 47.8% of patients are compliant with their treatment after the first year. Moreover, about 20% of those people have to get the treatment done again.
So, how can we dentists help our patients follow through?
Today, my guest is Dylan Drozdowicz, entrepreneur and Founder / CEO of ToothCase LCC. Dylan has created a smart retainer case for post-orthodontic treatment, called MyToothCase, specifically designed to help patients with retainer compliance.
The device uses an IoT platform and Artificial Intelligence to remind, track and reward retainer compliance via a mobile app.
Dylan came up with the idea after going through that painful experience himself: having to go back to orthodontic treatment twice because he kept forgetting to wear his retainer whenever he was supposed to. He had seen similar technologies in the market, but none quite like the smart case he envisioned. In Dylan's words:
"When you're getting a reminder every single day, whether you did something or not, my hypothesis is that it's not as effective. But if you get something that uses artificial intelligence, if you forget and you get a notification on that aspect, it's a much more meaningful reminder."
