Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bitewings are usually taken by the paralleling method, where the film is held parallel to the long axis of the teeth and a special holder is used to keep the film in place. This method produces more accurate and consistent images than the bisecting method. Protrusive relation is a term used in orthodontics, and is not relevant to the taking of bitewing X-rays.
