The Wired Orthodontist
□ Set up a dedicated computer in a secure area
to maintain the protection of patient information
(Figure 3). A computer with the minimum
requirements to run the software and internet
connectivity is needed. Arrange and be prepared
with patient information, photos of orthodontic
treatment options, and patient management
software to take conversation notes; a dual-screen
setup is optional (Figure 4).
□ Equip with a webcam, microphone, headset, and/
or external speaker.
□ Establish step-by-step instructions for patients
explaining how to set up and use the software to
communicate with providers and how to obtain
and share photographs or videos.
□ Conduct a trial run to avoid any technical issues
and to ensure the effectiveness of the step-bystep
instructions.
□ Schedule patients for a virtual appointment.
Provide patients with all of the new patient
forms, including the Teledentistry Supplemental
Informed Consent from AAO, to be electronically
sent, signed, and returned.
□ Conduct the virtual appointment with only the
individuals involved with the virtual appointment.
Any individuals in the room should be introduced
to the patient with their name, position, and role
in the patient's care.
□ Schedule a follow-up definitive in-person exam
appointment before concluding virtual appointment.
□
Document the patient conversation in detail.
□ Post any applicable Code on Dental Procedures
and Nomenclature (CDT) procedure codes plus
one of the two teledentistry codes, D9995 (synchronous
teledentistry) or D9996 (asynchronous
teledentistry).

Conclusion
COVID-19 has allowed orthodontists and other
healthcare workers to explore different options of
examining and monitoring patients remotely to avoid
any unnecessary in-person contact through technology.
Some of these uses, which include virtual exams
and consultations, can still be implemented into orthodontic
practices after COVID-19. The utilization of
telecommunication can not only improve and maintain
the quality of care but also create a more efficient
and cost-effective orthodontic practice. It is important
to note that telecommunication is not a replacement
for in-person clinical diagnosis and treatment.
