Modified Thyroid Shield – Targeted Radiation Protection for Cephalometric Imaging
Precision shielding for safer orthodontic diagnostics.
The Modified Thyroid Shield is an innovative protective device designed for use during cephalometric radiographic procedures in orthodontics. Traditional thyroid barriers often obstruct visibility of critical anatomical landmarks—particularly the cervical vertebrae—leading clinicians to omit shielding altogether, exposing the thyroid gland to unnecessary radiation.
This modified design solves that dilemma by offering optimized protection without compromising diagnostic clarity.
