What Is CBCT?

CBCT, or Cone Beam Computed Tomography, is a specialized type of X-ray equipment that provides detailed 3D images of hard tissues, including the teeth, jaw, and surrounding structures. Our CBCT machine uses ultra-low-dose radiation, offering a safer imaging option while delivering precise 3D images for an accurate assessment of your orthodontic needs.
