Digital X-rays offer advantages in detecting and
treating orthodontic problems with significantly less radiation.
Digital X-rays are just one of the ways in which computer
technology is advancing orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Don uses a state-of-the-art X-ray machine that
provides:
Less radiation exposure for our patients
Quicker, more efficient record taking during appointments
Improved diagnostic and analysis capacity
Advanced image manipulation and computer enhancement
Increased enlargement capabilities
Easier exchange of records for treatment coordination
with other dental professionals
Less environmental impact (No chemicals or film
to dispose, less paper used)
The greatest benefit of digital X-rays is that Dr.
Don can use computer enhancement to make the images larger and clearer
and can modify the contrast in order to better study specific areas.
This means he can more accurately diagnose your or your child’s
orthodontic condition and create the customized treatment plan required
to correct the problem. He will also be able to better illustrate
the condition and treatment plan so that you will understand every
step of your or your child’s orthodontic journey.
The top image (shown below) was taken of was taken
of a seven year old child with a conventional film X-ray machine.
Something looked suspicious to Dr. Don, so he took his own digital
X-ray to allow for computer enhancement.
The
bottom image is Dr. Don's digital X-ray. You can see clearly the
extra tooth that Dr. Don was able to diagnose and treat at an early
age with no complications. This is just one example of how technology
can improve Dr. Don's ability to recognize problems at a young age.
