Virtual Care Orthodontic Appointments
At Advanced Orthodontics in Burien, WA, we understand that your time matters. That’s why Dr. Mohammad Mainayar offers convenient, technology-driven solutions designed to make orthodontic treatment more efficient and flexible.
Through our Virtual Care orthodontic appointments, patients can stay connected with our team between visits while receiving expert supervision throughout their treatment. This system is powered by the Invisalign® Virtual Care AI platform, part of the Align™ Digital Platform, allowing us to monitor your treatment remotely using advanced digital technology.
In addition to online patient forms, digital iTero® impressions, and streamlined communication, Virtual Care allows Dr. Mainayar to review your treatment progress without requiring frequent in-office visits. With this technology, you can spend less time commuting and more time focusing on school, work, and family while still receiving high-quality orthodontic care.
What Is Virtual Care?
Virtual Care is a simple and secure way to send photos or scans of your teeth directly to our office using your smartphone. These images are reviewed through the Invisalign® Virtual Care AI platform, which helps compare your current progress with your personalized ClinCheck® treatment plan.
Your orthodontic journey still begins with a comprehensive in-office consultation at Advanced Orthodontics, where Dr. Mainayar evaluates your smile and creates a customized treatment plan. Once treatment begins, certain progress checks can be completed virtually through the My Invisalign® app or secure digital monitoring tools.
Using AI-assisted analysis combined with Dr. Mainayar’s professional expertise, we can track tooth movement, aligner fit, and overall treatment progress. If everything is progressing as planned, you may not need to visit the office as frequently.
This approach allows for closer monitoring, faster feedback, and fewer unnecessary appointments while keeping your treatment on track.
How Does Virtual Care Work?
At the start of treatment, our team will help you set up your Virtual Care account and guide you through how to submit photos using your smartphone. You’ll receive simple tools, such as cheek retractors, along with step-by-step instructions to ensure clear and accurate scans.
For Invisalign®patients, progress scans are often submitted weekly. These photos are analyzed through the Invisalign Virtual Care AI system, which helps identify how your teeth are moving compared to your digital treatment plan. Based on this information, Dr. Mainayar can determine when it’s time to move to your next set of aligners or if adjustments are needed.
If you ever have questions about your aligners or experience discomfort, you can easily send a scan for review and receive guidance from our team.
For braces patients, Virtual Care can also be used to monitor progress between scheduled in-office adjustments, helping ensure your treatment stays on track.
Smarter Monitoring with Invisalign® Virtual Care AI
The Invisalign® Virtual Care AI platform allows our team to review treatment progress more efficiently between visits. By comparing your submitted photos with your digital treatment plan, the system can identify small changes in tooth movement and highlight potential issues early.
This combination of AI-assisted technology and expert orthodontic oversight allows Dr. Mainayar to provide more proactive care while maintaining the personalized attention each patient deserves.
Because this system integrates directly with Invisalign’s digital workflow, it creates a more responsive and convenient orthodontic experience while still maintaining regular in-office visits when necessary.

Below are answers to common questions about virtual orthodontic appointments at Advanced Orthodontics.
Is Virtual Care as accurate as in-office visits?
Virtual Care is designed to complement, not replace, in-office appointments.

Can children and teens use Virtual Care?
Yes. Virtual Care works very well for teens and responsible older children. Parents can assist with scans when needed, and our team provides clear instructions to make the process simple and stress-free.
What if I forget to send my weekly scan?
If a scan is missed, we’ll send a reminder to help keep your treatment on schedule. Consistent monitoring is important to ensure your teeth are moving properly and to prevent delays.
