Patient Home Check In

Nelson Orthodontics Virtual Home Check Instructions

Grab two spoons and someone in your home to help you (the spoons are to lift your lips away so we can see as much of your teeth as possible)
Go to a brightly lit room, near a bright window is best
Use your smartphone or digital camera and make sure the flash is on
Replicate the pictures in the form below using the spoons while your helper takes the photos
Take the first five photos in the form below and make sure you are biting tight together. Please wear your elastics (if you have been instructed to) for the photos as well

Let’s warm up with a head-on selfie. Bite down on your back teeth and smile as wide as you can!

Next up, we need to see your smile from the left side.

Still biting down on your back teeth, pull your cheek back either with your fingers or using a spoon.

Let's try the same shot, this time from the right.

Make sure you're biting down on your back teeth!

Next up, we need to see your upper teeth from below.

Open wide! You may want to enlist the help of a friend for this one.

Almost done: just one shot left! This time, we need to see your lower teeth.
