Orthodontics
Orthodontics has traditionally relied on 2-dimensional x-rays in evaluating 3-dimensional structures. With Cone Beam CT imaging, a more comprehensive orthodontic diagnosis and more accurate treatment planning is possible by allowing for:
- 3D views of vital structures
- 3D evaluation of impacted tooth position and anatomy
- TMJ assessments of condylar anatomy in three dimensions
- Orthognathic surgery treatment planning and growth assessments in true 1:1 imaging
- Airway assessments
- Planning for placement of dental implants for tooth restoration or orthodontic anchorage and for placement of temporary anchorage devices (TADs)
- Assessment skeletal symmetry or asymmetry
