Hi, I'm going to show you how you can take
a series of photos and send it off to Dr. Rooz at PORTH so that he can give you
virtual feedback on either how he can help straighten your teeth and improve your
bite or how he can help you progress through your treatment.
All you have to do is find yourself a window or well lit the area of your house.
Also, you can either ask a friend or family member to help you out with these
photos or just using the timer feature on your phone.
You could take these photos yourself.
The first series of photos you'll need to take are pretty simple.
Just make sure your camera is positioned
straight on, not above or below you, and take one straight on line.
You'll just be sure you're biting down normally and completely.
You don't want your jaw to be jutting forward or back.
The next set of photos can be a little bit c hallenging.
So you might want to grab a couple of spoons.
You'll need to pull back your cheeks and bite naturally for a straight on shot.
If the spoons are tripping you up, you can always use your hands instead,
but you will then need a right and left profile shot.
Each will clean your cheek back as much as you.
You will end up with three photos here.
The final two photos you'll need to take
are with your mouth open as wide as one of the top teeth and one of the laws
you're just trying to get the layout of the teeth.
So for the others, make sure you position
your camera angles upward and then for the lower position, the camera.
So it's pointing down ... OK, and that is it.
You'll have a total of three photos when you're finished.
You might have five if you did the two optional photos as well.
Please feel free to reach out to
Dr. Rooz at PORTH with any questions at all, either by phone or by email.
Take care of yourself bye.
