Dental Hygienist/wannabe radiologist here. Lateral image taken for orthodontic consultation. Patient 30F, exploring if her Class II malocclusion is causing her increasing neck pain...
I pointed out the loss of lordosis and what looks like cervical instability? (to my untrained eye) to my boss/Ortho. He didn't mention her neck to her at all and went on with the consultation/treatment suggestions. I feel it was really careless when her chief complaint was neck pain.
Am I jumping the gun? (Not full flexion, patient asked to face down approx 40°) https://ibb.co/7XmKksM X-ray
