Orthodontic records are one of the main milestones in orthodontic therapy. Records are essential not only for diagnosis and treatment planning but also for follow-up of the case, communicating with colleagues, and evaluating the treatment outcomes. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) imaging technology, such as cephalometric and panoramic radiographs and photographs, and plaster models were routinely used. However, after the introduction of three-dimensional (3D) technologies (laser scanner, stereophotogrammetry, and computed tomography) into dentistry, 3D imaging systems are more and more commonly preferred than 2D, especially in cases with craniofacial deformities. In fact, 3D imaging provided more detailed and realistic diagnostic information about the craniofacial hard as well as soft tissue and allowed to perform easier, faster, and more reliable 3D analyses. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the 3D imaging techniques, including their advantages and disadvantages, and to outline the indications for 3D imaging.
正畸记录是正畸治疗中的主要里程碑之一。记录不仅对诊断和治疗计划至关重要，而且对病例的随访、与同事沟通以及评估治疗结果也至关重要。最近，二维（2D）成像技术，如头影测量和全景X光片及照片，以及石膏模型被常规使用。然而，在牙科引入三维（3D）技术（激光扫描仪、立体摄影测量和计算机断层扫描）后，3D成像系统比2D成像系统越来越受到青睐，尤其是在颅面畸形病例中。事实上，3D成像提供了关于颅面硬组织和软组织更详细、更逼真的诊断信息，并允许进行更简单、更快、更可靠的3D分析。本综述的目的是概述3D成像技术，包括其优缺点，并概述3D成像的适应症。
