Orthodontic Disclaimer
The following evaluation may not be able to recognize certain specific conditions that require a more comprehensive assessment by an orthodontic specialist. These conditions are listed and categorized below. In general, the treatment advisor is not able to identify:
- complex or syndromic skeletal dysmorphoses;
- systemic conditions or diseases that may affect occlusion or craniofacial growth.
On panoramic radiographs, the treatment advisor is not able to recognize:
- root resorptions;
- Dental trauma;
- tooth impactions (except canines and lower third molars);
- infraocclusion of deciduous teeth;
- Dental ankilosis
- neoplasms, cysts, or other radiolucent/radiopaque lesions;
- dental pathologies (caries, infections, pulpal lesions, etc.);
- retained root fragments;
- posterior crowding;
- Complete or incomplete transposition;
- Direct and/or Indirect Dental restorations;
- Root canal treatment;
- Supernumerary teeth;
- condylar asymmetries or temporomandibular joint pathologies;
- periodontal or bone alterations of inflammatory or degenerative origin.
On lateral cephalometric radiographs, the treatment advisor is not able to evaluate:
- maxillary or mandibular skeletal protrusion or retrusion.
- Linear cephalometric measurements
- Skeletal vertebral maturation
The extraoral photographs need to be well cropped and to be limited to the face. In any case, the treatment advisor is not able to identify:
- Face: skeletal or soft-tissue asymmetries; disproportion of the facial thirds; pronounced zygomatic bones; dark circles that may indicate mouth breathing.
- Smile: deviation of the upper or lower dental midline from the facial midline; mandibular asymmetry; buccal corridors; smile line in relation to the lower lip.
- Profile: disproportion among the facial thirds.
On intraoral photographs, the treatment advisor is not able to recognize:
- Lateral view: scissor bite, gingival recessions.
- Frontal view: anterior crossbite, gingival recessions, buccal corridors, skeletal and/or dental transverse contraction, dental trauma.
- Occlusal view: tooth shape anomalies, posterior crowding, posterior diastemas, dental abrasion or wear; dental asymmetries.
The accuracy of the analysis strictly depends on the quality and standardization of the submitted photographs and radiographs. Intraoral photographs must be taken using proper retractors and lateral/occlusal mirrors, under adequate lighting and focus. Low-quality or improperly taken images may lead to incomplete or inaccurate evaluations.
