Cephalometric Radiography (cr)

Cephalometric radiography, often called a cephalometric x-ray, is a specialized type of imaging used mainly in orthodontics and oral surgery. It captures a side-view (profile) image of the head, showing the bones and soft tissues of the face and skull. This allows professionals to analyze the relationships between teeth, jaws, and the skull structure. The information helps in diagnosing dental and skeletal problems, planning treatments like braces or surgery, and monitoring growth and changes over time. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and provides detailed insights crucial for precise dental and facial care.
