Why Do Orthodontists Need to X-Ray?
It is a common misconception that orthodontic care is all about the teeth. But it is as much about the gums, jaws, and roots as the teeth. Diagnostic X-rays are a vital part of orthodontic practice, and taking an X-ray allows your orthodontists to analyze problems with jaw bones and tooth roots and create a treatment plan best suited for your needs.
Dr. Bill Redmond is a native of Southern California, the son of an orthodontist and the husband of a general dentist. That makes family gatherings pretty interesting…if you like teeth!
