Digital imaging

Low-dose imaging, built for orthodontics

Digital X-ray records help Dr. Orbach see your roots, jaws, and growth clearly before treatment begins.

What X-rays do orthodontists take?

Clear records, lower dose

Orbach Orthodontics uses low-dose digital X-ray systems — Acteon for close-up intraoral images and MyRay Hyperion for the panoramic and cephalometric views orthodontics relies on. Digital imaging means a lower radiation dose than older film, instant high-definition images, and the precise diagnostic picture Dr. Orbach needs to plan your treatment.

A modern orthodontic imaging and treatment room

The two views orthodontics needs

Panoramic and cephalometric

Panoramic

A single wide image of all your teeth, roots, and jaws, so nothing is missed before treatment.

Cephalometric

The side-profile X-ray unique to orthodontics. It measures how your teeth, jaws, and facial structure relate, and helps track growth for younger patients.

Low dose, high definition

The imaging systems we use

Intraoral X-ray

Acteon

Low-dose digital intraoral X-ray — sharp close-up images of individual teeth and roots, with instant results.

Panoramic & cephalometric X-ray

MyRay Hyperion

Low-dose digital panoramic and cephalometric imaging — the big-picture views orthodontic planning relies on, in high definition.

Imaging serves the plan

The image does not replace the doctor

X-rays do not treat anyone — they inform the orthodontist. Read alongside your digital scan, these images let Dr. Orbach diagnose accurately, plan the right tooth movement, and confirm roots and jaws are healthy and on track.

Imaging FAQ

Good to know

Are orthodontic X-rays safe?
Modern digital X-ray uses a low dose and is taken only when clinically needed; the diagnostic benefit far outweighs the small exposure.
What is a cephalometric X-ray?
A side-view X-ray that shows how your teeth and jaws relate — orthodontists use it to diagnose your bite and plan treatment.
Will I get new X-rays if I bring recent ones?
We will use appropriate recent images when available and only take what is needed for an accurate plan.
