CBCT Image Technology at OPDSF Orthodontics, San Francisco, California
Welcome to OPDSF Orthodontics, where the future of orthodontic imaging meets today’s advanced care. Our state-of-the-art CBCT Image Technology, in combination with the Invisalign iTero’s 3-D interactive images, provides comprehensive insight for accurate diagnosis and effective treatments.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a cutting-edge 3-D imaging method that offers a comprehensive view of dentofacial structures. It operates using a cone-shaped X-ray beam, rotating 360-degrees around the patient, to capture precise images, which are then reconstructed into detailed 3-D visualizations.
Benefits of CBCT Image Technology
