| opinion diagnosis in orthodontics The role of 3-D imaging systems in present orthodontics Author: Dr Enrique González García, Mexico Abstract Traditionally, the diagnosis in orthodontics gives a lot of importance to cephalometry and the analy- sis of the dental casts. The development of new technologies does not intend to discard traditional concepts, in fact, it intends to provide more infor- mation allowing a wider approach of our patients and resulting in a more thorough diagnosis. Introduction for orthodontic treatment, it is intended to use a systematic method so that we can obtain the most essential information that these methods provide. The method consists of the following: · Coronal, sagittal and axial general visualisation · Teeth and surrounding structures · Airways and paranasal sinuses · Soft tissues · Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) General visualisations Adapting to new three-dimensional concepts is not an easy task and is even harder considering that the information is so vast that it can result over- whelming. That is why when evaluating a patient To perform a general exploration, it is necessary to know the three anatomical planes: coronal plane, sagittal plane and axial plane.
