Digital xrays still require the detector to be inserted into the mouth. The OP has gag issues. I know exactly what he/she is referring to as I find bite wings "uncomfortable". A panx does not require a detector to be inserted into the mouth but is not optimal.

You will probably have to sign a waiver.
