Orthodontic OPG Scan
Orthodontic Panoramic X-Rays and OPG Scans in North Camp
orthodontic OPG in North Camp
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 North Camp 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 North Camp. 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.

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.

The team are wonderful and very helpful. The dentist I saw was Dr Hema Rajah, who was absolutely amazing and a true artist at dentistry.
A big thank you to Dr Hema Rajah, Sophie, Abbey and Lucie.
I can honestly highly recommend North Lane Dental Practice to anyone (especially nervous patients).
Dr Hema and Sophie have been so helpful with advising me the best procedure to suit my needs and I feel completely at ease with them and trust them fully.
Abbey on reception has been so lovely and happy to answer any queries that I have.
For the first time in a long time, I actually look forward to my dental appointments.
I canβt wait to see my finished results in the months to come and would absolutely recommend to all!
From booking appointments, to the actual treatment and surgery. Everything is to the highest standard, and the friendly staff add to brilliant atmosphere.

Although originally very nervous and self conscious all the staff have been amazing and my dentist Dr Hema Rajah could not have been more patient and caring. After just a few months of Invisalign treatment my teeth already look so much better and I canβt wait to see the finished article. Little things make such a difference, a warm welcome when you arrive, a genuine catch up, plenty of parking, and appointments being always on time are just a few of the things that make this practice exceptional.
I love my new smile and look forward to seeing all the staff every time I visit! Lucie was so helpful and in all a lovely person thank you for all the chats and laughs never a dull moment when I arrive for my dental appointments :D Dr Hema is just amazing at what she does! thank you for being so helpful and getting my teeth so perfect they really are better then I ever expected!
