cephalometric radiographs
Cephalometric radiographs are specialized X-ray images of the head that focus on the bones and soft tissues of the face and jaw. They are commonly used by orthodontists and dentists to analyze the relationships between the teeth, jaws, and skull. These images help in diagnosing bite issues, planning treatment, and monitoring growth or changes over time. Taken from the side of the head, cephalometric radiographs provide a detailed view that supports precise, personalized treatment strategies for achieving optimal dental and facial health.
