OPG for teeth alignment in Fleet

Before beginning any orthodontic treatment, a comprehensive understanding of your dental development and jaw structure is essential. North Lane Dental Practice offers specialized OPG scans for children and adults from Fleet who are preparing for braces or clear aligners. This panoramic image reveals the full picture of your oral health.

An OPG scan is invaluable in orthodontics because it shows not only the visible teeth but also unerupted teeth, extra teeth (supernumeraries), and missing teeth. It allows the orthodontist to assess root alignment, jaw discrepancies, and overall dental development to create a highly customized and effective treatment plan.

Our clinic provides a welcoming and comfortable environment for patients visiting from Fleet. The scanning process is quick, taking only a few seconds, making it an easy and stress-free experience for younger patients starting their journey to a straighter smile.

OPG for teeth alignment in Fleet

Why do orthodontists require an OPG scan before braces?

Orthodontists need to see the position of all teeth, including those still developing under the gums. An OPG scan identifies potential crowding issues, impacted teeth, or root problems that must be addressed before applying braces or aligners.

Is an OPG scan safe for children needing braces?

Yes, digital OPG scans are very safe. They use a significantly lower dose of radiation compared to traditional film X-rays. We always prioritize patient safety and only take radiographs when they are clinically necessary for treatment planning.

How long does an OPG scan take? +

The entire process is very quick. The actual scanning time, where the machine rotates around your head, takes only about 10 to 15 seconds. Including preparation, your appointment will usually take less than 10 minutes.
