In the 1960s dental radiology made progress and with the introduction of panoramic radiography the imaging of jaws and maxillofacial structures has been possible within one film. Subsequently digital imaging, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) have been developed and the imaging of the maxillofacial region in three dimension (3D) has been possible. With the introduction of CBCT, which specifically aim to image the maxillofacial region, obtaining 3D data and the reconstruction of imaging has become easier in dentistry. By making use of CBCT, it is possible to make a series of orthodontic practice, some examples of which are submerged teeth and oral abnormalities, airway analysis, assessment of alveolar bone heights, weight and volume, temporomandibular joint morphology and facial analysis. The rapid development of this technology facilitates 3D representation, ranging from the diagnosis of maxillofacial to guided orthodontic and surgical procedures with image guidance. Today, orthodontists make use of three dimensional imaging techniques on clinical diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment duration
