Digital Imaging: A Clearer View for Better Care
At Alex Yusupov Specialist Orthodontists, we have embraced digital imaging to make your orthodontic experience faster, safer, and more environmentally friendly. Gone are the days of traditional X-ray films—our advanced digital systems provide instant, high-resolution images, reducing waste while prioritising your health. These images not only help us assess your teeth, gums, and overall oral health in incredible detail but also integrate seamlessly into your digital records for precise treatment planning and easy future reference.
Cone Beam CT: Precision in Every Detail
At Alex Yusupov Specialist Orthodontists, we use Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to gain a deeper understanding of your unique orthodontic needs. This advanced imaging technology provides a detailed 3D view of your teeth and jaws, giving us insights that traditional scans simply cannot offer.
The process is quick and comfortable—our radiology service captures the scan in less than 20 seconds as the scanner rotates gently around your head, taking hundreds of images that combine into a highly accurate 3D model. This model helps us diagnose complex orthodontic issues with unmatched precision and create the most effective treatment plans tailored just for you.
We rely on CBCT technology for a variety of important evaluations, including:
- Locating impacted or missing permanent teeth
- Assessing wisdom teeth and their relationship to nearby structures
- Evaluating airway health
- Utilising the Suresmile system for precise orthodontic planning and finishing
With CBCT, we can ensure your care is both comprehensive and efficient, giving you the confidence of knowing every detail is considered in your journey to a perfect smile.
What About Radiation?
At Alex Yusupov Specialist Orthodontists, your safety is always our top priority. While Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans use significantly less radiation than traditional medical CT scans (10 - 100 times less), we remain mindful of minimising radiation exposure, especially for children.
We only recommend CBCT scans or X-ray examinations when necessary and take every precaution to ensure the lowest possible exposure. By combining advanced technology with careful planning, we’re able to provide detailed diagnostic insights while prioritising your health and well-being.
