I just got my tads/mini screw placed 5 hours ago.. I had my panaroma done afterwards and I'm a bit worried if they're placed correctly
especially the third mini-screw one from the left. He placed the mini-screws without even looking at my xrays to begin with.
I'm not a dental student/professional but I spoke to my orthodontist about my concerns and he said they all look fine but to me it looks as if the mini-screws may have pierced the tooth?!
I'm in a bit of pain so I took some analgesics but I'm OK for now.
I just wanted a second opinion😅 I'm afraid of root resorption.

Good day

It is important to consider that this x-ray is a 2 dimensional picture. For a more accurate assessment, a 3D CBCT scan is usually the go to. This x-ray might therefore be misleading when it comes to the actual positioning of the teeth and screws.
