In the past two decades, the world of dental technology has grown in leaps and bounds, making the diagnosis of trauma, and the pinpointing of developmental concerns much more accurate than ever before. One tool that can be used to assist in these tasks is called Cephalometric Analysis, or more simply, a Ceph.

What is a Ceph?

Cephalometric Analysis is an X-ray similar to a panoramic X-ray, in that it has the capability of capturing a full view of your skull and neck. A difference is that it is captured using a side-to-side sweeping motion, instead of the full 360 degree non-stop motion used in panoramic X-rays. When complete, a Ceph looks like the image seen here. [1][2]
