Generally speaking, oral X-ray films mainly include panoramic films and lateral head films.
With the help of panoramic photos, we can accurately see whether the number of teeth is abnormal, such as: ① whether there are more teeth in the jaw, whether there are embedded teeth, etc. (2) the situation of the root, such as the position and shape of the root; ③ The status of alveolar bone, such as the health of periodontal tissue and the status of condyle.
Lateral cephalogram is also very important. On the lateral cephalogram, we can directly measure the degree of maxillary and mandibular deformity, analyze the causes of malocclusion, and judge whether it is a jaw problem or a simple tooth problem.
The measurement content includes the measurement of hard tissue and soft tissue. These data are important information for making treatment plan, and play an important role in determining treatment plan, providing reference for later model analysis and predicting the changes of teeth after orthodontics.
If your situation is complicated, the doctor will advise you to take CBCT and follow the doctor's advice, which can effectively ensure the accuracy of the orthodontic plan and ensure your orthodontic effect. Now many hospitals have access to digital orthodontic technology. The doctor will upload your panoramic photos, lateral cephalometric photos and other related information to the digital orthodontic platform, and with the help of digital orthodontic technology, accurate measurement data will lay the most accurate digital foundation for precise treatment.
