Patients often ask, “Do I need X-rays or digital scans?” The answer depends on case complexity and the safety requirements of planning. Orthodontics moves teeth through bone, so diagnostics exist to reduce risk and increase predictability. At MilimDental, Dr. Begüm Ulaşan (orthodontist / orthodontic specialist) uses only the records needed to plan correctly—and explains the reason for each.
Digital scans are commonly used to capture an accurate 3D model of the teeth. This supports aligner planning, progress tracking, and retainer design. X-rays may be recommended when the orthodontist needs to assess root position, bone support, impacted teeth, missing teeth, or jaw relationships. In crossbite, deep bite, jaw narrowing, or complex cases, imaging can reveal issues that affect treatment direction and stability.
The key is purpose-driven diagnostics: What is the orthodontist trying to confirm? Are roots safe to move? Is there hidden pathology? Is the bite relationship stable? A professional clinic links records to clinical decisions, not to sales. When diagnostics are done properly, treatment becomes more predictable and the final bite is more stable.
