Orthodontic Picture Taking Basics Part II | Braces Pictures | Dr. Nathan

Taking Orthodontic Pictures for Braces or Invisalign is extremely important. Anyone who has worked with me or any of our Orthodontists knows that taking proper orthodontic pictures is vital for treatment planning, showing patients before and afters, record keeping, and being professional.

Taking amazing pictures is a craft that I highly believe in. I also think with proper training and knowledge anyone can take perfect pictures.

The goal of this video is to show you how we take pictures at Thrive Dental and Orthodontics. I have been taking the same style of pictures since I was in my residency at USC.

For any office, you will take at least 5 intraoral pictures and 3 extraoral pictures. Some offices may even take more pictures of the patient half-smiling and various other extraoral photographs.

I believe good quality pictures show patients you are a professional office, helps the doctor's treatment plan properly, create better communication if you need to discuss the patient with anyone else, and also just look amazing.

I still look at my before and after pictures from when I got braces when I was in my 20s.

Some key concepts you should know after this video:
1. Camera settings
2. Order of picture taking
3. Plane of occlusion and how to adjust accordingly
4. How to take intraoral pictures
