Authors' response

We thank Dr Webb for his comments on our article (Abdelkarim A, Jerrold L. Clinical considerations and potential liability associated with the use of ionizing radiation in orthodontics. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2018;154:15-25). Because his was a very detailed and well-supported opinion, we felt the need to respond in kind. As we mentioned in our original article, we must stress again that there are no legally binding statutes, rules, or regulations that provide explicit radiographic prescription protocols for orthodontic practice.
