    Abstract: Aligner with an integrated data capture device located within or attached to the aligner. The data capture device includes a microcontroller, temperature sensor, and battery. The microcontroller is configured to receive a temperature reading from the temperature sensor both when the aligner is worn and not worn by the user and wirelessly transmit the temperature reading to a user's mobile device. The data capture device can also include other sensors for sensing a condition in the oral environment or mechanical strain on the aligner when it is worn by the user. A software application on the user's mobile device can use the received data to monitor the user's compliance and treatment progress as well as how the aligner is tracking the intended movement of the user's teeth according to the treatment plan.
