The mount, formed of thin, pliable transparent sheet plastic material, includes a plurality of transparent pouches or pockets arranged thereon, each of which is similarly notched, shaped and structured to viewably receive and retain one such exposed improved dental x-ray. These pockets are divided into left, right and center regions corresponding to the regions of patients' teeth. Each pocket in the right and left regions is horizontally oriented with respect to the longer margin of the rectangular dental x-ray shape, while the pockets in the center of region are upright, these pocket orientations corresponding to the positioning of each unexposed dental x-ray within the jacket which is oriented in the patient's mouth in accordance with the line indicia contained on the jacket.
