Cephalometric X-ray is often the first step on the way to a perfect smile. If you dream about changing your image by straightening your teeth, this type of examination will definitely help the orthodontist in preparing a treatment plan. Cephalometry facilitates not only the diagnosis of malocclusion, but also works in the field of prosthetics and surgery.

Cephalometry is an X-ray image that allows you to accurately visualize the soft and hard tissues of the face, paranasal sinuses and the hard palate. It is almost always performed from the side with the help of a pantomogram attachment.

Cephalometry as a support in orthodontic treatment

A cephalometric x-ray shows the skull from the side, which is an ideal position to assess malocclusion. For this reason, this type of imaging test is usually ordered by orthodontists before straightening begins and at various stages to check the results.

This type of x-ray helps the doctor plan orthodontic treatment and, in the later stages, allows you to track its progress. Precise measurements obtained during cephalometry are essential in selecting the right orthodontic braces .

Universal use of cephalometric X-ray

Cephalometric X-ray is perfect for dental and laryngological diagnostics (the test allows to estimate the width of the upper respiratory tract) and in reconstructive surgery and prosthetics. The examination also allows for the assessment of the patient’s bone age, as well as for the analysis of the shape of the face. In order to create a prosthetic restoration, it is necessary to determine the position of the mandible in relation to the maxilla.

Accurate diagnostics are the basis of effective treatment
