Artificial intelligence is currently being utilized to enhance the efficiency of orthodontic treatment and reduce the need for in-office visits. Dental Monitoring® (DM) facilitates remote supervision of clear aligner fit, oral hygiene, and appliance integrity through patient-performed scans. This case presents a 23-year-old male with an anterior open bite, treated with clear aligners and lower extra-alveolar mini-screws. Personalized clinical protocols developed within the DM platform for guiding aligner changes and monitoring hygiene are described. Each scan generated automated feedback for the patient and detailed reports for the orthodontist. A total of 59 scans were completed, with 88 % submitted on time. A significant misfit was detected in 16 % of scans, which was managed either by extending the aligner wear or through manual override based on clinical judgment. Hygiene alerts were triggered in 36 % of scans, prompting automated reinforcement messages. At the end of treatment, a remote STL file was generated for refinement planning, demonstrating high agreement with intraoral scanning. This case highlights the potential usefulness of DM in supporting personalized aligner therapy through protocol-based monitoring, improved patient compliance, and reduced clinical visits.
