In the world of modern healthcare, technology has become an indispensable tool, revolutionizing the way we diagnose and treat various conditions. Orthodontics, dedicated to enhancing smiles and oral health, has fully embraced these advancements. At Luff Orthodontics, we are proud to utilize cutting-edge Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology. Not only does this approach offer superior diagnostics, but it also prioritizes patient safety and environmental consciousness through low radiation-green CT scanning.
The Evolution of Orthodontic Imaging
Traditionally, orthodontists relied on two-dimensional X-ray images to assess dental and skeletal structures, but these had limitations. The introduction of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology revolutionized orthodontic imaging by providing high-quality, three-dimensional images of the craniofacial region.
Understanding CBCT Technology
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a specialized medical imaging technique that employs a cone-shaped X-ray beam to capture detailed, three-dimensional images of a patient’s oral and maxillofacial region. Advanced computer algorithms then reconstruct these images, resulting in a comprehensive view of the patient’s dental and skeletal structures. This level of detail is invaluable for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
