If your dentist or orthodontist believes it to be necessary, the answer is most definitely. Having a perfect three-dimensional copy of your teeth, nerves, and bones enables your practitioner to better diagnose your problem with a greater degree of accuracy than merely looking into the mouth or using traditional 2D X-rays.
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is the newest type of Computer Assisted Tomography (CAT scan) and is a milestone in the medical world. It greatly helps both medical and dental practitioners in diagnosing patients more accurately at the time of their dental treatments.
The 3D visualisation provided by CBCT significantly enhances diagnostic and planning capabilities.
