Question

This is a cone-cut error.The PID is not centered over the receptor.To correct a cone-cut,you will need to change your receptor exposure by moving the PID mesial to cover both of the canines.Receptor placement means the receptor is covering the teeth to be x-rayed.Moving the receptor will not correct this error.Correcting horizontal angulation will open the contacts.Correcting vertical angulation will prevent foreshortening and elongation.
