3D FACE + JAW X-RAY SCAN

3D Face + Jaw X-Ray Scan: What is It and How Does It Work?

At ONE ORTHODONTICS in Cobham we have a high-resolution CBCT scanner which can take highly detailed small 3D images of the inside of teeth and also large 3D images of the facial bones, and upper airways.

What is a 3D Face + Jaw X-Ray Scan?

Cone beam CT (CBCT) is an advanced imaging technology that provides high-resolution, 3D images of dental and facial structures. Unlike traditional CT scans, CBCT uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam, allowing for quicker scans and reduced radiation exposure.

 

This innovative tool enhances diagnostics and treatment planning for clinicians, ensuring precise results and improved patient outcomes.
