The ability to capture both hard and soft tissues, including nerve pathways, in exceptional, three-dimensional detail offers unparalleled ability to diagnose and treat a variety of dental and maxillofacial cases.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here&rsquo;s how orthodontists are increasingly using dental CBCT technology to improve treatment planning.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Uses_of_3D_Cone_Beam_Dental_Systems_in_Orthodontics\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uses of&nbsp;<\/span><strong>3D Cone Beam Dental<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;Systems in Orthodontics&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dental CBCT technology has a myriad of uses cases in orthodontic applications. One of the biggest use cases is for the identification and diagnosis of impacted, transposed and ectopic teeth, especially with respect to their spatial relations to each other. CBCT can also be useful for detecting and qualifying supernumerary teeth, as well as for the purposes of gauging dental development of a tooth or follicle.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because craniofacial anomalies like cleft palates manifest in three-dimensions, the use of a three-dimensional scan provided by CBCT makes it much more accurate to gauge the severity of the impact with precision. CBCT can also be used to diagnose other similar conditions such as TMJ disorders.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And, in all of these cases, one of the biggest benefits of the use of 3D CBCT over traditional 2D dental radiography is the CBCT system&rsquo;s ability to construct different views from the CBCT volume, enabling orthodontists to &ldquo;see&rdquo; the anatomical structure from a different point of view.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improving_Orthodontic_Treatment_Planning_with_Dental_CBCT_Machines\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Improving Orthodontic Treatment Planning with Dental CBCT Machines&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On top of its numerous use cases,&nbsp;<\/span><strong>3D cone beam dental<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;technology also expressly assists orthodontic specialists with improving treatment planning.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the case of assessing impacted or unerupted teeth, CBCT offers a great deal of detail that accurately represents the space between teeth and how the jaw and mouth will be affected by the dental development; CBCT scans enable orthodontists to accurately estimate how much space is needed per tooth.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In cases where maxillary expansion may be warranted, the exceptional detail and insight into spatial relationships between hard and soft tissue make it possible for orthodontists to plan for the fabrication of custom orthodontic appliances and temporary anchorage devices, such as mini-plates or mini-implants that will properly fit the mouth of the patient.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But&nbsp;<\/span><strong>3D cone beam dental<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;technology is not just essential to improving treatment planning; it also improves risk assessment and treatment progress assessment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the case of risk assessment, dental CBCT can be used to assess root resorption, orthodontic paraesthesia, helping orthodontists to determine the safest options for proceeding.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With respect to treatment progress, one of the biggest benefits of dental CBCT has to do with its ability to assess dentofacial orthopedics as well as their success while treatment is underway. In the case of patients with cleft palates, CBCT can shed valuable insight into the progress of bone grafts.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All in all, the use of CBCT also helps with patient visualization and treatment acceptance, and by minimizing risk and increasing diagnostic and treatment planning accuracy, lowers the risk of the need for retreatment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Started_Saving_30_to_50_Off_3D_Cone_Beam_Dental_Machines_with_Renew_Digital\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get Started Saving 30% to 50% Off&nbsp;<\/span><strong>3D Cone Beam Dental<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;Machines with Renew Digital&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thinking it&rsquo;s time for your practice to adopt a&nbsp;<\/span><strong>3D cone beam dental<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;system to improve workflows, expand service offerings, and increase the success of your treatment planning?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get started with Renew Digital, a premier provider of certified, pre-owned dental CBCT systems.
