cephalometric evaluation techniques

Cephalometric evaluation involves analyzing X-ray images of the skull and face to assess jaw and skull relationships. Using specialized measurements and angles, orthodontists can evaluate bone structure, tooth alignment, and facial proportions. This helps in diagnosing issues like bite problems, planning treatments such as braces or surgery, and tracking progress over time. The technique provides a detailed, standardized way to understand the three-dimensional relationships of facial bones in a two-dimensional image, guiding precise and effective orthodontic and surgical interventions.
