Modern orthodontics is about more than just braces and wires—it's about precision, personalization, and progress. At Alamo City Orthodontics, we're proud to offer cutting-edge imaging technology that transforms how we plan, monitor, and deliver your treatment.
In this post, we’ll explore how advanced imaging plays a vital role in crafting beautiful, functional smiles—and why it matters to your orthodontic journey.
Why Imaging Matters in Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is more than aligning teeth for aesthetics. It involves evaluating jaw relationships, identifying bite irregularities, and mapping out the most efficient treatment path. Advanced imaging gives us an incredibly detailed view of your oral structures—something traditional x-rays alone can’t fully provide.
At Alamo City Orthodontics, our advanced imaging technology includes:
- Intraoral Cameras: High-resolution images of the teeth and soft tissues.
- Panoramic X-Rays: Full-mouth views to identify alignment, tooth development, and impacted teeth.
- Cephalometric & CBCT Scans (when needed): For more complex evaluations and surgical planning.
Benefits of Advanced Imaging for Patients
1. More Accurate Diagnoses
Advanced imaging provides 3D, cross-sectional views that allow our orthodontists to detect issues such as impacted teeth, jaw misalignment, or airway concerns early on.
2. Personalized Treatment Plans
With detailed scans, we can customize your treatment based on your unique anatomy, leading to more effective outcomes. Whether you’re getting traditional braces or Invisalign, imaging ensures precision from the start.
3. Better Monitoring of Progress
Imaging is not just for diagnostics—it’s an ongoing tool. We use it to track how your teeth are moving and make timely adjustments, improving efficiency and reducing treatment time.
4. Reduced Risk of Surprises
With early detection of potential problems, we can proactively plan your orthodontic journey and avoid surprises later down the line.
How Advanced Imaging Works With Your Treatment
At your first visit, our team will capture detailed panoramic and intraoral images. These will serve as a foundation for building your digital treatment model—especially important if you’re opting for clear aligners or have complex needs like jaw asymmetries.
If you’re enrolling in our FOREVERSMILE™ Retainer Assurance Program, imaging also helps preserve an accurate digital model of your final smile, so we can craft perfect-fit retainers for life.
