Orthopantomography is a technique used in dentistry to allow the dentist to view all their patient’s teeth and determine their number, position, and growth, including those that have not yet erupted. An OPG X-ray might be done to plan orthodontic treatment, to detect the presence or asses the development of wisdom teeth, to examine the jawbone for Dental Implant treatment or for a general overview of the patient’s dental health

Advanced dental imaging allows orthodontists to visualize important areas in your mouth, bone structure, and skull to determine treatment planning. A Cephalometric X-Ray examination could be an imperative radiograph to have so that dentists and patients get the appropriate care for their teeth. The x-ray exposure is rather quick, taking less than 10 seconds to scan your head with the actual x-ray taking 5 minutes to develop.
