Align Technology Introduces Virtual Solutions to Connect Doctors and Invisalign Patients
Align Technology has announced virtual solutions that help doctors connect with existing Invisalign patients to ensure continuity of care. Invisalign Virtual Appointment and Invisalign Virtual Care enable doctors to manage a range of practice services even when they’re not in the same location as their patients. Until recently, both solutions were in pilot phases, but their launches were accelerated to support doctors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Invisalign Virtual Appointment tool enables doctors to schedule and host HIPAA-compliant video appointments and consultations with patients. Invisalign Virtual Care, which is built into the My Invisalign app, can be used for remote consultations, assessment of treatment progress and to communicate adjustments or concerns during treatment.

Rhinogram and DynaFlex Announce Collaboration
Rhinogram, a cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant, telehealth solution, has partnered with DynaFlex, a manufacturer and distributor of products and digital solutions for the orthodontic and dental industries. Through this collaboration, DynaFlex clients can provide virtual visits for patients and communicate in real time via text message.

Rhinogram enables providers to securely communicate with patients via two-way texting at any time from their mobile devices to address appointment requests, clinical questions, refill requests, medical records access and more. The Rhinogram platform also facilitates virtual visits with patients. It integrates with most EHR and PMS systems, synchronizing secure, encrypted patient communication into clinical workflows.
