How old ?: How old is your daughter? Her orthodontists need to make sure that her tooth roots have fully developed before treatment begins. Your concern about the additional radiation exposure is based on an irrational fear that has no scientific basis, based on the low dosed that are being used. Diagnostic films use very low dosages are are perfectly safe.

Yes: X-rays are a diagnostic tool. They allow practitioners to see places that are not visible to the naked eye. The risk/benefit ratio is skewed way to the benefit side. Make sure your daughter is seeing a qualified Orthodontic Specialist, who does noting but Orthodontics, and then ask why the x-ray is necessary. They will explain exactly what they are looking for.
