Cephalometric X-Rays In Strongsville, OH
Cephalometric X-Rays Near You
We utilize cephalometric X-rays at Strongsville Smile Keepers so we can get a good look at your jaw, facial bones, and teeth. The X-ray is a side picture of your head, and we are able to see how everything fits together. It gives us important information that a general dental X-ray cannot.
These X-rays help us to know more about your bite, how your teeth are aligned, and the way that your jaw develops. This helps us to create the best treatment plan to align teeth and maintain your smile.
Why We Take Cephalometric X-Rays
This X-ray is helpful if you need braces or any other orthodontic treatment. It helps us:
- Having the capacity to view the position of your upper and lower jaws
- See where your teeth are and how they’re coming together
- See how your jaw and face will grow in the future
- Construct the ideal treatment plan that we can
When we have this clear picture, we can make sure your treatment is right for you and will give you the best results.
What Happens During the X-Ray
Having a cephalometric X-ray is fast and painless. You simply remain still while the camera passes over and takes a snapshot of the side of your head. It does not hurt a bit and only takes a second or two. The radiation is very low, so it is okay for children and adults too.
Why This Is Good for You
These X-rays allow us to catch any issues early and map out your care so that you have outstanding results. That translates to fewer surprises and less complicated visits.
