Disclosed is an x-ray film packet positioner device by means of which certain x-ray film views can be obtained and which is especially adaptable to all disciplines of dental practice but not limited to same. This invention consists of two units, namely a positioner body device and an x-ray film packet holding rod device. The positioner body of the invention is stabilized and held in position by a bite platform device and contains slots for positioning and holding x-ray film packets for obtaining certain x-ray film views as well as containing a hole in which a positioner x-ray film packet holding rod device can be placed. The positioner body contains holes into which are inserted retaining devices and by means of which an x-ray film packet holding rod device is stabilized and fixed in position, and by which the body of the invention is tightened against a bite platform. The x-ray film packet holding rod device contains slots for holding x-ray film packets in certain positions. A bite platform device is held steady and in fixed position by the closed engagement contact of the patient's upper and lower front teeth with the positioner.
