Abstract
The infrared alignment guide for an x-ray machine is used to align a target tooth and an x-ray sensor with transmitted x-rays, as well as aligning the transmitted x-rays with a most effective orientation for imaging the target tooth. The guide includes a body having an attached x-ray sensor holder. The x-ray sensor holder may be adjusted in relation to the body for imaging different teeth. The x-ray sensor holder emits infrared light towards the body, which is detected by an infrared camera on the front of the body. The image produced by the infrared camera, which shows the crowns of the teeth, is used to align the transmitted x-rays with the tooth and the x-ray sensor holder.
