Orthodontic Studies
From a single 8.9 second 3-D scan we can reconstruct all of the 2-D views that orthodontists are accustomed to using in order to diagnosis and treatment plan their cases. All of the 2-D images below were reformatted from a single 3-D scan.

Implant Studies
Implant studies typically include a reconstructed 2-D panoramic image, cross sections reformatted for each arch, and 3-D volumetric images/video. We can also provide various 3-D viewing softwares based on the practioner's preference.

Airway Study
CBCT scanning is increasingly being utilized by sleep specialists as a part of their diagnostic protocol. Additionally CBCT scanning is utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment alternatives such as intraoral appliances. Utilizing a variety of softwares, we can provide 2-D and 3-D images of the airway along with linear, area, and volume measurements.

TMJ Study
TMJ Limited: From an 8.9 second 3-D scan, many 2-D reformatted layouts are available to view the TMJ using mulitple softwares depending on the preference of the referring doctor. Views are typically taken with a closed bite.
TMJ Complete: An additional low-dose 5 second scan may be ordered with the mouth wide open to view the range of translation of the condyles.

Malposed Teeth
An 8.9 second 3-D scan can provide practitioners with comprehensive visualization of unerupted, impacted, ectopically positioned, and supernumerary teeth. Visualiztion of the mandibular nerve in relation to 3rd molar root development is a useful application.

Oral Pathology
In order to rule out pathology in the scanned anatomy, it is recommended that the 3-D scan be interpreted by a maxillofacial radiologist. It is not unusual to see maxillary sinus polyps, inflammation, and infection as indicated by partial or full obliteration of the sinus in which case a copy of the scan can be forwarded to the patient's physician or ENT specialist. To view sample maxillofacial radiology reports please click on the Diagnostic Services tab above.
