Orthodontic Imaging

Precision imaging for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning – including OPG, cephalometric X‑rays, and 3D CBCT for comprehensive assessment of tooth position, jaw relationships, and airway.

Overview

Perfect alignment starts with perfect imaging.

Orthodontic imaging is a specialised set of diagnostic tools used to evaluate dental and skeletal relationships, tooth position, and growth patterns – essential for planning braces, aligners, and orthognathic surgery. At Amytri Diagnostics, we provide a comprehensive range of orthodontic imaging services, including panoramic X‑rays (OPG), lateral cephalometric X‑rays, and 3D CBCT scans. These images allow orthodontists to assess the teeth, jaws, temporomandibular joints, and airway with precision, enabling accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

Traditional clinical examination alone is insufficient for orthodontic planning. Imaging reveals the underlying skeletal structures, impacted teeth, root angulation, and the spatial relationship between the upper and lower jaws. This information is critical for determining the best treatment approach – whether it is conventional braces, clear aligners, or surgical correction.

At Amytri, our advanced digital imaging equipment and experienced radiologists ensure high‑quality images with minimal radiation. We provide detailed reports and, for CBCT, 3D reconstructions that can be integrated with orthodontic planning software. Our team works closely with orthodontists to support every step of your journey to a beautiful, functional smile.

What our orthodontic imaging includes

  • Lateral Cephalometric X‑ray – standardised side‑view image for skeletal and soft tissue analysis
  • OPG (Panoramic X‑ray) – overview of all teeth, supporting bone, and eruption status
  • CBCT (Cone Beam CT) – 3D assessment of tooth angulation, root position, and airway
  • Posteroanterior (PA) Cephalogram – frontal view for facial symmetry and asymmetry assessment
  • TMJ Imaging – evaluation of condylar position and joint spaces
  • Airway Assessment – upper airway volume and patency (for sleep apnoea screening)
  • Superimposition of serial images – monitoring growth and treatment progress
  • Digital cephalometric tracing – with skeletal and dental landmarks
  • Comprehensive report – with measurements and clinical correlation
Why it matters

Essential for accurate orthodontic diagnosis.

A beautiful smile starts with a thorough understanding of the underlying dental and skeletal structures. Orthodontic imaging provides the roadmap for effective, safe, and predictable treatment.

Diagnosis

Uncover hidden problems

Impacted teeth, root resorption, skeletal discrepancies, and airway obstructions are often invisible on clinical examination – imaging reveals them, enabling accurate diagnosis.

Planning

Precise treatment planning

With 2D and 3D images, orthodontists can plan tooth movements, assess anchorage needs, and simulate outcomes – ensuring the best possible results.

Safety

Minimise risks

CBCT helps avoid root contact during tooth movement, detect resorption early, and assess the airway – reducing the risk of complications.

What we offer

Comprehensive orthodontic imaging services.

We provide a full range of imaging modalities to support your orthodontist in every phase of treatment – from initial diagnosis to final retention.

Lateral Cephalometric X‑ray

Standardised side‑view image with cephalometric landmarks – used for skeletal and soft tissue analysis, growth assessment, and treatment planning.

OPG (Panoramic X‑ray)

Comprehensive view of all teeth, developing dentition, and supporting bone – essential for eruption assessment, impacted teeth, and general dental health.

CBCT for Orthodontics

3D assessment of tooth angulation, root position, bone thickness, and airway – ideal for complex cases, impacted canines, and surgical planning.

PA Cephalogram

Frontal view X‑ray to assess facial symmetry, midline deviations, and transverse skeletal discrepancies.

Digital Tracing & Analysis

Our radiologists provide digital cephalometric tracings with key landmarks, measurements, and normative comparisons – directly usable by orthodontists.

Airway & TMJ Assessment

CBCT allows evaluation of upper airway volume (for sleep apnoea) and TMJ condylar position – important for comprehensive orthodontic care.

How it works

Your orthodontic imaging journey, step by step.

01
Referral

Referral from your orthodontist

Your orthodontist will refer you for the necessary imaging based on your clinical examination and treatment needs.

02
Imaging

Image acquisition

You undergo the prescribed imaging (OPG, cephalogram, CBCT) at our centre. The process is quick, comfortable, and uses low‑dose technology.

03
Analysis

Digital analysis and tracing

Our radiologist analyses the images, performs cephalometric tracing (if indicated), and prepares a comprehensive report with measurements and observations.

04
Report

Report and integration

Your images and report are shared with your orthodontist, who integrates them into treatment planning software for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

Is it for you?

Orthodontic imaging is recommended for anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

Whether you are a child, adolescent, or adult – imaging is essential for safe and effective orthodontic care.

Children and adolescents (growth assessment)

Imaging monitors growth and dental development, helping orthodontists decide the best timing for treatment (e.g., early interceptive or full braces).

Adults considering braces or aligners

Imaging reveals bone support, root health, and existing restorations – essential for planning adult orthodontic treatment.

Patients with impacted teeth (especially canines)

CBCT precisely locates impacted teeth and their relationship to adjacent structures – crucial for surgical exposure and alignment.

Patients with jaw discrepancies or facial asymmetry

Cephalometric and CBCT imaging assess skeletal relationships – guiding decisions about orthognathic surgery.

Patients with airway concerns (sleep apnoea)

CBCT can evaluate the upper airway and guide treatment that may improve breathing.

Anyone with a history of trauma or surgery

Imaging assesses healing, growth disturbance, and guides further treatment.
