Use before-and-after photos to increase compliance.
As a dental technician, I get to see what clients can't when I clean their pets' mouths. To help clients get the same perspective, I take before-and-after photos of each patient's mouth and photos and radiographs of problem teeth and place them in a folder for owners to take home. Owners are often impressed with the images, especially with the difference between the before-and-after photos.
