Study models, properly trimmed, dental stone – cast moulds
Radiographs, usually OPG and Lateral cephalogram
Clinical photographs – a luxury..??
Time has changed – emphasis on achieving balanced facial harmony
Carefully study existing patients soft tissue pattern
Lip morphology and tonicity, smile arc & smile esthetics
In absence of patient
Why take orthodontic photographic records..??

Why go digital..??
8
ResolutionHow much detail an image can holdPixel count and bit depth of each pixelAs the number of pixels increases, the image’s
detail becomes sharperNumber of megapixels – camera’s resolutionDisplay’s resolution – expressed in pixels per
inch (ppi)
Basic terms
9
Focal lengthLens’s magnification powerLonger the focal length – more the
magnification power
10
Macro photography – close-up photographyReproduction ratio of life size i.e. 1 : 1
Macro function / lens
11
Shutter speedAmount of time the shutter is open or digital
image sensor is activatedDisplayed as fraction of a second, such as 1/8
0r 1/250
12
ApertureA hole in the lens through which light passes
on its way from subject to the filmDOF – depth of fieldTo make one object stand out of a wide viewReduce aperture size
Increase in depth in a picture
13
How much picture comes out sharply and how much doesn’t
This zone of sharpness is called as depth of field
Can be controlled by 3 main factors –Aperture – smaller the aperture more extensive
the DOFFocal length – shorter the focal length, greater
the DOFCamera to subject distance – greater the
distance, deeper the DOF
Depth of field (DOF)
14
Shallow depth of field
1/30th of a second exposure
f 3.5 aperture value
Greater depth of field
1.5 second exposuref 22 aperture value
15
Digital camera setupPoint & shootDSLRs
Clinical requirements for photographic records
16
Ring flash eliminates shadowsAllows more even and thoroughdistribution of light
Ring flash Vs Point flash
17
A dedicated macro lens that can be attached to the cameras and adjusted as needed is by far a superior choice
Macro lens Vs macro function

Special cheek retractors

soft tissue properties

up to the claviclesFrankfort horizontal line tobe sure that head is level

(45 °) ProfileSocial interactionVisible information about smile estheticsTurn the head to right about ¾ of the wayTeeth should be visible
26
POSITIONING THE PATIENT The position of the patient is important to
the camera view and to the operator’s ease in making the view
For most straight anterior views, the patient should be in a semi upright position with a slight tilt backwards
In a contour chair, the patient must turn his head to the side so that the operator does not have to lean sideways over the chair and patient.
OPERATORY DENTAL LIGHTIt should not be directly on the teeth
Keep the light on the side of the cheek and out of the mouth
The light is only needed to give enough light to focus by
When the dental light is bright or strong on the side of the arch that should have the greatest contrast, it will kill the contrast produced by the flash.

Frontal – in occlusionPatient in dental chair, raised to clinicians
elbow levelAssistant standing behind the patientRetract patients lips sideways90° to facial midline using upper frenum as a
guideFull extension of sulciHigh “f” value for maximum depth of field
Intra-oral photographs
29
Right buccal - in occlusionFlip the right retractor to the narrower sidePatient is asked to turn their head to leftClinician then holds the right side retractor
and pulls it to visualize the last erupted molar as much as possible
90° to canine-premolar area
30
Left buccal – in occlusionSimilar to that of the right buccalSwitch the larger retractor to patients right
and narrow end to patients leftPatient turns head slightly towards their right90° to canine-premolar area
31
Upper occlusalRetractors are inserted in “V” shape to retract
upper lip sideways and away from the teethMirror with wider end inside the mouthPatient is instructed to lower the head slightlyShot can be taken 90° to the plane of the
mirrorMid-palatal raphe as a guide for orientationMinimum retractor showNo fingers should be seen
32
Lower occlusalRetractors in reverse “V” shapeClinician holds the mirror upwards to visualize
lower archPatient is asked to lift the chin upAnd also asked to roll back the tongue

Direction of pull of retractors is always sideways and slightly forward, away from gingival tissue
Wetting the retractors just before insertion eases the process of positioning them with minimum patient discomfort
Taking occlusal mirror shots, slightly warming the mirror in warm water prior to insertion helps prevent fogging of the mirror
Saliva ejector can be used to eliminate saliva prior to taking each photograph
Helpful tips
39
During occlusal mirror shots, instruct the patient to open wide just prior to pressing the camera button. This helps in obtaining maximum mouth opening at the right moment, and minimizes patient’s fatigue during the procedure
It is recommended that all photographic records to be taken before impression making, to eliminate the possibility of impression material being stuck between the teeth or the face during the procedure
40
Minimum camera resolution for orthodontic purpose would be around 3-4 megapixels
DSLR cameras are highly recommended for taking orthodontic photographic records
Patient should be standing in front of a plain white background when taking extra-oral shots
41
Immediate back-up ensures a complete back-up of all the original, unprocessed image files
Flipping – relative to occlusal plane and mid line
