Abstract
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a revolutionary imaging modality. It has changed numerous aspects of dentistry and has added great value to its diagnostic phase as well as that of orthodontics. Three-dimensional imaging CBCT has the potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment planning of cases. However, there has been some confusion about CBCT and its implementation in orthodontics. This could be due to overmarketing or limited understanding of the imaging technique itself. The purpose of this article is to present 10 myths about CBCT in orthodontics and replace them with facts about this imaging technique.
