About X-Ray Maxilla AP View
Upper X-ray of the jaw or maxilla (AP View) is a special type of X-ray to look at the upper teeth, other facial bones, and the maxilla (upper jaw bone) and neighboring structures. It is generally done after injuries to the face or when someone suspects abnormality, bone disease, or infection in the upper jaw. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, high-quality pictures with low radiation exposure are delivered thanks to the advanced digital X-ray technology for accurate and reliable diagnosis.
What is an X-Ray Maxilla AP View?
An X-ray Maxilla AP View takes a smaller dose of X-ray radiation to make detailed views of the upper jaw from front to back. The scan evaluates the alignment, integrity, and health of the maxillae and adjacent face.
