WHAT ARE DIAGNOSTIC RECORDS, AND WHY ARE THEY NECESSARY?
The best treatment results come from a thorough study of your profile, jaws, muscles and teeth. Diagnostic records include x-rays, digital imaging, and molds (impressions) of your teeth. Measurements are made from these records, which allow both Dr. Deb and Dr. Diane to independently develop all possible treatment options available to you.
Diagnostic records include plaster models of the teeth, jaw x-rays, and digital photos of the face and teeth. They are very important in assisting the doctor in planning the correct treatment for each patient. Based on these records, the doctor can decide what type of treatment is necessary and approximately what the length of treatment will be.
