Chenin Orthodontics utilizes 3D X-Rays (Also known as CBCT) for improved diagnosis and treatment planning. 3D X-Rays for dentistry are a safe an effective way to visualize the patients teeth, skin, sinus, airway, and other underlying bone structure better that ever before. Special software allows the x-ray to be trimmed and edited to better see the teeth and bones for improved treatment. Digital teeth models can even be created!!! This video specifically shows tooth movement that is possible on the computer with teeth that are still coming in. Allows doctors to plan treatment before the teeth have even erupted. The radiation dose received from such an x-ray is similar to (and in some cases less than) the full series that you receive for your normal x-ray and exam at the dentist's office to check for cavities.
