ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR ANY SCHEDULE How Dental Monitoring Makes Invisalign More Convenient Than Ever

forgo regular visits to the orthodontist by using your phone to take pictures of your teeth during treatment. Through the Dental Monitoring Algorithm, these pictures are translated into a 3-D model of your teeth as they shift in your mouth, which I use to make sure that the treatment is going smoothly. Through these remote “checkups,” I can ensure you’re on your way to the smile you’ve always wanted without regular office visits! Now I have patients who only come in every six months or as needed, skipping the hassle of the trip while still achieving the smiles of their dreams. My goal has always been to transform my patients’ lives without disrupting their lifestyles. Dental Monitoring allows me to accommodate patients of all types, whether they feel more comfortable in the orthodontic chair or would prefer to send me a quick snapshot every month or so. Some patients live several miles away or have such busy schedules that they can’t imagine taking an hour off to get to our office. Others enjoy the warm, friendly, and professional atmosphere of Alborzi Orthodontics and want to continue to

As an orthodontist, business owner, mother, and active member of the local and global community, I know better than anyone just how busy life can get. The number of waking hours in each day barely gives us enough time to do the things we need to do, much less to take a moment for ourselves and our health. But as more people are becoming aware, our mental and physical health — including our dental and orthodontic health — are vital. To that end, I’ve always worked to stay abreast of new orthodontic technologies, strategies, and trends in my practice to ease the burden of time and money off the

wonderful patients we serve. But even as I implement these cutting-edge services, I strive to provide the same level of individual attention and continue to build genuine connections with my patients.

That’s why we at Alborzi Orthodontics use the Dental Monitoring phone app to strike that balance between convenience and exemplary care. In the midst of Invisalign treatment, Dental Monitoring allows you to

see us regularly. I’m happy to offer whichever option fits my patients’ needs. I’m eager to show them that having a beautiful smile isn’t just possible — it’s easy!

MEET DIANE

Our Incredibly Friendly Treatment Coordinator!

Diane is the treatment coordinator for the practice. This role means she serves as the liaison between Dr. Alborzi and our wonderful patients. Diane prides herself on guiding new patients toward healthy treatment options and giving them all the information they need to make an informed decision. “I love the patient contact,” she says. “Helping people determine the right treatment for them and knowing that we can really do something special is incredibly gratifying.” Diane says it’s even better when she can exceed their expectations. “We have patients who come in after being told they need extractions or surgery, and I can tell them beyond a doubt that these expensive treatments won’t be necessary.” Even though she has worked in orthodontics for close to three decades, Diane never tires of the practice. Her secret? The people she works with. “Dr. Alborzi

is just so fun, with a big heart and a great laugh,” she says. “You can hear it all over the office. I like the fact that she’s always trying to help people improve themselves, including all of us on the staff.” Outside of the office, Diane does her best to stay as active as possible, reading, cycling and spending time at the lagoon near her home in Foster City. Lately, she’s been tied up planning her wedding for August 25, when she’ll marry her fiancé, Bob, on the lagoon. But when she gets a rare window of free time, she loves to socialize with her big family and visit with her 21- and 24-year-old kids. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who has remained dedicated to a single practice as long as Diane — a fact for which we’re incredibly grateful. Without her around the office, it simply wouldn’t be the same. We appreciate all the amazing things Diane does for our team and our patients, and we look forward to seeing her contributions in the years to come.

Every once in a while, there’s a member of your team so vital, loyal, and talented at what they do that you can’t possibly imagine the place without them. For all of us at Alborzi Orthodontics, Diane Dugoni-Descalso is one of those people. She has done everything she can for the practice ever since joining us almost 30 years ago in 1989.
