ORTHODONTIC RECORDS Orthodontic records include a panoramic x-ray, a cephalometric x-ray, models of the teeth, three (3) facial photographs and six (6) intraoral photographs. Pre-treatment orthodontic records are essential for Dr. Smith to properly diagnose and treatment plan each patient’s individual orthodontic problem and treatment needs. Some orthodontic records may be taken again during the course of treatment or after the completion of treatment. Panoramic X-rays Cephalometric X-rays Impressions Facial Photographs Intraoral Photographs PANORAMIC X-RAY A panoramic x-ray enables Dr. Smith to see the roots of the teeth and the position of any unerupted teeth. Any missing or extra teeth will be identified on this x-ray. Panoramic x-rays are an excellent way to determine the best time to begin your childs orthodontic treatment.
