How do I use the Heinz Ortho-to-Go system?

Using the Heinz Ortho-to-Go system is simple. First, stand in front of a mirror and open our Ortho-to-Go app.

Next, insert your phone into the scan box, insert your cheek retractors inside your mouth, and attach them to the scan box.

The app will guide you through your scan, instructing you when to remove your aligners and when to put them back over your teeth.

The app’s audio guidance instructs you on how to move the scan box from side to side, capturing all of your teeth to give Dr. Heinz a proper picture of your progress.

Once you complete the audio steps, you’ll submit your scan to Dr. Heinz and wait for his response and instructions.

When should I take a scan of my smile?

Scanning your smile and submitting your progress on time is vital to the success of your treatment. Make sure you follow instructions on when to take photos of your smile.

The app will prompt you when it’s time to scan your smile, and each scan should only take about five minutes to complete.

On average, our patients send a scan every week to make sure their treatment is on track. It is super important to stick to the scanning schedule so Dr. Heinz can closely monitor your progress and intervene if you need any adjustments to your treatment.
