dens is midline

This is the dens of the cervical vertebra, nothing to do with teeth, except the shape, probably.

"Check if dens is midline and centered between lateral masses of atlas"

You can see what the dens is in this Wikipedia article:

no lateral displacement of the dens/odontoid process

The open-mouthed odontoid view may show *lateral displacement* of the dens which is diagnostic of rotatory subluxation. CT can be used to confirm the diagnosis.

Anterior/posterior CT scanning of the craniovertebral junction may also help demonstrate *lateral displacement of the dens* in relation to midpoint between the two occipital condyles.

Our patient illustrated *lateral displacement of the dens* by more than 4 mm, the latter was suggestive of atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation.
