3D CBCT
3D CBCT stands for dental cone-beam computed tomography, a specialized 3D X-ray technology that orthodontists use to produce detailed, three-dimensional images of your teeth, bones, and soft tissues.
We use Vatech’s CBCT technology, which delivers some of the clearest and most detailed images available in dentistry today. With just a single, quick scan, we gain comprehensive information using far less radiation than multiple traditional 2D X-rays. This advanced imaging gives us a true 360° view of your mouth, providing intricate 3D visuals of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures. As a result, we can precisely evaluate how your teeth are positioned within the bone, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and treatment planning.
