Cephalometrics Warsaw
Not every bite problem is visible to the naked eye. Some of the changes relate to the relationship between the facial bones, the alignment of the maxilla and mandible or the direction of growth of the bony structures. Cephalometry is a specialised X-ray examination that allows you to look at the face and bite in an analytical rather than just a visual way.
At Supradent, we regard cephalometry as a key tool for planning orthodontic treatment. It allows you to predict the direction of changes, choose the right treatment method and plan your treatment in an informed and safe manner.
Cephalometrics
What is a cephalometric radiograph and what is it used for?
Cephalometry is a lateral X-ray of the skull that shows the interrelationship of the jawbone, mandible, teeth and soft tissues. The examination allows precise cephalometric measurements and analyses, which are the basis of orthodontic diagnosis.
The cephalometric radiograph is used primarily in the planning of treatment with fixed, removable and overlay braces. It allows the type of malocclusion, direction of facial growth and potential changes occurring during treatment to be assessed. It is also helpful in monitoring treatment progress and comparing effects before and after treatment.
For the patient, the examination is quick and comfortable. It takes several seconds, requires no preparation and provides the doctor with precise data that cannot be obtained during a standard clinical examination.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does cephalometrics involve?
The patient positions the head in the X-ray machine and the machine takes a lateral picture of the skull. The whole process is quick and painless.
Is cephalometry safe?
The examination involves a low dose of radiation and is only performed when there are clear diagnostic indications.
How does cephalometry differ from a pantomogram?
A pantomogram shows the entire oral cavity in a single view, while cephalometry focuses on the bony relationships of the craniofacial region in a lateral projection.
Is cephalometry necessary before orthodontic treatment?
In most cases, yes. The examination allows precise treatment planning and the selection of the appropriate appliance.
Is the test performed in children and adults?
Cephalometry is used both in children and adolescents and in adult patients starting orthodontic treatment.
How long is a cephalometric radiograph valid?
Depends on the age of the patient and the stage of treatment. In children, images may need to be updated as bone structures change with growth.
