Abstract

To make correct prognoses in the area of orthodontics, dentists use cephalometric analysis methods. Currently, most of them involve two main steps: initial diagnosis and treatment establishment. Currently, dentists work manually on X-ray film to measure the cephalogmetric parameters. The work is tedious and time-consuming, and sometimes produces incorrect results. We developed an automated cephalometric analysis system, in which dentists can easily locate reference points needed for the analysis and get the results almost at the same time.
