Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are an essential part of modern orthodontic care, offering enhanced accuracy and safety compared to traditional X-rays. These advanced images allow us to clearly see the alignment of your teeth, jawbone structure, and the position of unerupted or impacted teeth.
Why Choose Digital X-Rays?
- Lower Radiation Exposure — Digital X-rays use up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays, ensuring a safer experience for patients of all ages.
- Instant Results — With digital imaging, there’s no need to wait for film to develop. Our doctors can view high-resolution images immediately, speeding up your treatment process.
- Improved Diagnosis — The sharp, detailed images provide a better understanding of your oral health, allowing us to create precise, tailored orthodontic treatment plans.
By integrating digital X-rays into our practice, we prioritize both your safety and the accuracy of your orthodontic care.
