# Scheduling patients ## 1. Check in with the patient regularly to ensure compliance Prior to scheduling a fitting, you'll want to check in with your patient to confirm compliance for the current step in the treatment. If patients have not been compliant, it may not be the right time to continue onto the next step in the treatment. ## **2. Report the patient's progress for any intra-treatment updates** As your patients make progress with their treatment, report this progress in case there are any intra-treatment updates that need to be considered. ## **3. Submit your orders for subsequent aligners on a pay-as-you-go basis** The beauty of Orthosnap is that we manufacture aligners on a pay-as-you-go basis. If your patient isn't quite ready to continue on to the next step in their treatment plan, then there is no need to submit orders for subsequent steps. Orthosnap is flexible and works with you and your patients according to the timeline that is best for them. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
