Digital Dental X-Rays

Digital dental X-rays are a low-radiation imaging tool used to see beyond what a visual exam can show. They help capture a clear picture of developing teeth, roots, and jaw structure, giving a fuller sense of what is happening beneath the gumline. At Crystal Clear Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry in Wilmington, Dr. Aesha Chaudhry uses this imaging as part of planning orthodontic and pediatric dental care.

Why X-Rays Matter

Developing Teeth — X-rays show whether permanent teeth are positioned and erupting as expected.
Root Health — Images reveal root angles and length, which matter for orthodontic movement.
Hidden Issues — Digital imaging can surface concerns not visible during a routine exam.

Part of a Bigger Picture

X-rays are often used alongside digital intraoral scanning, giving Dr. Chaudhry both a 3D surface model and an internal view of the teeth and jaw. Together, these tools support more informed treatment planning for orthodontic and pediatric dental patients of all ages.

Who It's For

Digital X-rays are commonly used for children, teens, and adults as part of routine checkups or when planning treatments such as braces, aligners, or restorative care.
