A Panorex image is an X-ray that depicts a panoramic view of your mouth, from one side to the other. This image can help Dr. Nordhus understand the relationship between your teeth, jaws, and occlusion (bite, or how your top and bottom teeth fit together). When planning extensive restorative or cosmetic dentistry cases, a Panorex may be necessary in addition to intra- and extra-oral photos and digital X-rays.
