Why do I need to use the Bite Block with the Blue Holder for Anterior images?

The Bite Block slides onto the (pin) on the arm of the holder when taking anterior images only. The Bite Block allows you to instruct the patient to bite further back on the Bite Block so that you can move the holder and sensor further back into the highest part of the arch in the mouth, this moves the sensor away from the teeth to ensure you get a proper image and the sensor isn’t too close to the teeth.
