うちのマウスピース｜矯正アライナー装着時間の記録

"Our Mouthpiece" is a free app that allows you to easily record the wearing time of orthodontic treatment mouthpieces (aligners) with just one button.

With mouthpiece orthodontics, dentists often provide guidelines for wearing time, such as "more than 15 hours a day," and it is said that the amount of time worn each day greatly affects the progress of treatment. However, manually writing down and tallying the daily wearing time is difficult for both children and parents. With this app, simply press "Start" when putting on the aligners and "Stop" when taking them off. The daily wearing time will then be automatically recorded. It can be used not only by families monitoring children undergoing mouthpiece orthodontics, but also by adults to record their own wearing time.

■ Recommended for those who:
・Want to monitor the wearing time of their child who has started clear aligner orthodontics
・Want to easily record the wearing time of their own orthodontic clear aligners
・Want to manage the wearing time of their retainers (retention devices)
・Have difficulty keeping track of time using paper checklists or notebooks
・Want to show their wearing time records to their dentist during appointments

■ Easy 3 Steps
1. Press "Start" when putting on the clear aligner
2. Press "Stop" when taking it off
3. The wearing time for the day is automatically accumulated

While wearing the aligner, the current wearing time is displayed in real time, so you can see at a glance "how much longer you need to wear it today."

■ Comprehensive Management with 3 Screens
・Record: Displays large Start/Stop buttons, the current wearing time, and the total for the day.

・Summary: View daily wearing time in a calendar format. You can easily correct times and manually add or delete entries, making it easy to re-record.

* Coloring Chart: A coloring sheet with one line per day fills in the time spent recording. This makes progress visible, motivating children.

* Easy Record Correction and Manual Input: If you accidentally forget to press stop and record for too long, or conversely, forget to record at all—you can open the relevant day from the "Summary" calendar and correct the time, add or delete records. You can select the time using the date and time picker, or switch to manual input using the keyboard, allowing for smooth and precise adjustments.

* Don't Worry If You Forget to Press Start: If you forget to press start before going to bed and realize it in the morning, you can use the "Select Starting Time" function to start recording retrospectively. Simply choose from presets of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 1 hour ago. Records spanning multiple days are correctly tallied daily.

* Note: ■ Coloring Charts Can Be Saved and Shared as Images
The coloring chart can be exported as an image in an easy-to-read format with "Year/Month" included. You can save and print it, or send it directly from the sharing sheet, making it convenient for recording wearing time to show at the dentist's office during appointments. It's also recommended to stick it on the refrigerator so the whole family can check in on their efforts.

■ Can Be Used by the Family
Recorded data can be transferred to other devices using the sharing and import function. Both your child's device and your own device can view the same records. It can also be used for backups when changing devices.

■ Safe and Secure Use
• Operates entirely within this device (no data is sent externally)
• No account registration required
• No advertisements are displayed
• Free of charge (no in-app purchases)

■ Designed with Privacy in Mind
Because recording wearing time is something you use every day, it's designed with privacy in mind. Recorded data is stored only on your device and is never sent to external servers, including those of the developer. It does not access information unrelated to the record, such as location information or contacts. For details, please see the privacy policy posted on the store page.

■ Visualizing Wearing Time is Key to Continuing
Invisible aligner treatment relies on the patient to wear their aligners daily. It's said that if the wearing time falls short of the target for several days in a row, the treatment may not progress as planned. However, remembering and manually recording "How many hours did I wear them today?" each time can be surprisingly burdensome. 'Our Mouthpiece' minimizes the burden of "recording" itself with two start/stop buttons and visualization through a calendar and coloring chart. Seeing daily progress with numbers and colors changes conversations with your child from "Did you wear them properly?" to "You colored this much today!"

■ Useful in these situations
・Even on days when you take your teeth off for long periods at school or during meals, you can accurately record the time spent using the start/stop function.
・When asked, "How many hours did I wear them yesterday?", you can quickly check the "Summary" calendar.
・Before your monthly doctor's appointment, export the coloring chart as an image to summarize and report on wearing status.
・If siblings are undergoing orthodontic treatment, each can record separately on their own device.

■ Usage Tips
・Using brushing times as a signal to start/stop will reduce the chances of forgetting to press the button.
・It's recommended to make it a habit for parents and children to check the daily total on the "Record" screen before going to bed.
・By exporting the coloring chart as an image at the end of the month and sending it to the family group chat, you can share it with family members who live far away.
・You can also manually enter data from the "Edit" function in the calendar, so you can add in days you forgot to record later.
・You can always view instructions on how to use it from "? How to Use" in the upper right corner of the screen.
