Full volume review by oral and maxillofacial radiologists to help you identify complications early and plan with the complete picture.
Having a documented OMR report on file streamlines your review process, and gets you answers to vital questions that orthodontists send us most.
Jaw growth is assessed at a gross level: symmetry, hyperplasia or hypoplasia, and the proportion of maxilla to mandible, alongside eruption pattern assessment and identification of supernumerary, missing, and impacted teeth.
A full TMJ evaluation is part of every orthodontic read: cortical integrity, trabecular pattern, condylar shape including anatomic variants, volume loss, and spatial relationships.
A full airway evaluation comes standard, every segment with cross-sectional dimensions, plus whole-volume screening and documented incidental findings. Questions about a finding go to the radiologist through Rad Chats.
Referring doctor is looking for anatomic position of impacted maxillary canines and their impact in the treatment plan options.
Example 2Patient with open bite concerns following extraction of third molars.
Example 3This patient shows progressing, degenerative joint disease.
Radiology ReportOrthodontic evaluation of a patient in late mixed dentition with ectopically impacted teeth #6 and #11.
Teeth #6 and #11 were horizontally impacted and buccally oriented, positioned palatal to the developing apexes of #4 and #13. No signs of root resorption, displacement, or ankylosis were noted.
The most constricted airway area measured approximately 77 mm², representing an intermediate risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea.
The position and relationship of the impacted maxillary canines with adjacent structures were documented. Airway findings represent intermediate risk factors for OSA. TMJ findings are consistent with normal developmental osseous remodeling.
Radiology ReportTMD and orofacial pain evaluation for a patient with open bite concerns following third molar extraction. A single closed-position CBCT scan was provided.
The right condyle showed thinning with slight reduction of height and a possible cortical break on the superior aspect. The left condyle also showed anteroposterior thinning. An anterior open bite was noted with only the first and second molars in contact, along with mild mandibular asymmetry.
Right TMJ findings are suggestive of regressive remodeling with possible active degenerative changes. Left TMJ findings are suggestive of regressive remodeling. The anterior open bite following third molar extraction may be a result of a dual bite relapse.
Radiology ReportComparison of 2015 and 2016 CBCT scans evaluating changes in occlusion and TMJ status for a patient with TMD and impacted teeth.
Both condyles showed reduction of height, with superior erosion visible on the 2015 scan that was no longer present in 2016. Joint space narrowing and flattening of the posterior eminence slope were noted bilaterally. The anterior open bite increased in size between scans.
Both TMJs showed stable degenerative changes on the 2016 scan, compared to active degenerative changes on the 2015 scan. The change in condylar height may explain the increased anterior open bite.
Submit with an orthodontic study purpose and your radiologist looks at:
Cortical integrity, trabecular pattern, condylar shape and variants, volume loss, and spatial relationships, with cross-sectional views when findings are present.
Every segment from the nasal fossae to the hypopharynx, with cross-sectional dimensions in mm² and supporting structures assessed.
Eruption pattern assessment, plus identification of supernumerary, missing, and impacted teeth.
Panoramic reconstruction; whole-volume screening for pathosis, decay, bone loss, and periapical disease; documented incidental findings; and explicit confirmation of negative findings for your area of interest.
We are both responsible for finding carotid calcifications that allowed my patient to see an interventional radiologist… his carotid artery was 90% occluded. He gave me a big hug. Without your service, that hug doesn't happen.
Registering is easy, free, and secure. Start with the cases that give you pause: impactions, pre-surgical workups, and TMJ or airway questions.
