Abstract:
A dental and facial imaging device includes an adjustable arm, an image sensor mounted on a first end of the adjustable arm and an adjustable patient positioning arm mounted on a second end of the adjustable arm. A distance between the adjustable patient positioning arm and the image sensor is adjustable based on an adjustable length of the adjustable arm. A position indicator scale of the adjustable arm includes multiple notches for calibrating the distance between the adjustable patient positioning arm and the image sensor. The adjustable patient positioning arm includes a patient teeth supporting device and a patient chin rest which are positioned at a fixed coordinate reference relative to the image sensor to capture an image of a patient's teeth. The fixed coordinate reference corresponds to co-ordinates of multiple anatomical planes associated with the patient teeth supporting device and a patient chin rest relative to the image sensor.
