Panoramic Xray
Why do we need a Panoramic Xray?
A panoramic Xray is a 2d image that shows the entire mouth in one frontal picture focusing on the upper and lower jaw as well as all teeth. This picture is different than what they would take at the pediatric dental or general dentist office, as they are looking at smaller areas of teeth to identify cavities. This larger picture allows the Orthodontist to see potential bone abnormalities, tooth positioning, fractures, cysts and impacted teeth.
Cephalometric Xray
Why do we need a Cephalometric Xray?
A cephalometric Xray is radiograph full view image of the side profile of your face. Orthodontists use this imaging to best identify the precise positioning of the top and bottom jaw (maxilla and mandible) to asses the nature of a patients bite. Also this imaging provides the Orthodontist information on tooth relationship, pubertal growth, and to identify airway concerns.
Itero Scan
An Itero scanner is a 3d scan which shows a 360 degree view of inside the mouth and provides the orthodontists valuable information on relationship of the teeth to the gums. As the patient moves through treatment the orthodontist can track the changes and assess proportional movements in order to obtain the most desirable results.
Itero scans are also used to provide to the lab when printing or producing an appliance. No more goop/impression material to create a mold, these scans are now industry standard and are used to produce a variety of appliances but not limited to Invisalign aligners, palatal expanders, and retainers
Doctor to Review Findings
During the consultation appointment the Orthodontist will review all the valuable information provided, ask you additional questions and then give their professional opinions on next steps with your concerns and expectations in mind.
The Orthodontist will explain using simple language their findings and discuss with you any questions or concerns you have.
Treatment Coordinator Plans
If the Orthodontist recommends you or your child is ready for treatment then the Treatment Coordinator will go over the process of how Treehouse Orthodontics will complete the Treatment. This includes the appliance(s) needed during treatment, how they function, home/personal care, length of treatment, frequency of appointments needed, financials, and expectations. They will be your touchpoint to ensure you understand and feel comfortable moving forward with Treatment.
