Teledentistry platform Grin and Oral-B are teaming up to give people the power to capture high-resolution images of their mouth on a smartphone, then securely share dental scans with a care provider for at-home consultations. Equipped with these tools at their fingertips, consumers benefit from being able to invest in the right products, change their habits and touch base regularly with their dentist.
With this partnership, Grin and Oral-B are on a mission to transform at-home oral health by making professional consultations and insights more accessible from the convenience of home. Grin makes it possible for patients to check in periodically, remotely, without having to travel far distances to visit specialized providers like orthodontists, which may be inaccessible.
