Cephalometry in orthodontics refers to the study and measurement of the head and facial structures using precise radiographic images, often to assess growth patterns, skeletal relationships, and the alignment of teeth. In both 2D and 3D formats, cephalometric analysis helps orthodontists diagnose malocclusions, plan treatments, and monitor progress over time. The 2D cephalometric analysis typically uses lateral or frontal radiographs to evaluate angles and linear measurements between key anatomical landmarks on the skull, while 3D cephalometry offers a more detailed, volumetric approach, providing a comprehensive view of the patient’s facial structure in three dimensions. This advanced method allows for better visualization and more accurate treatment planning, improving both the aesthetic and functional outcomes for orthodontic patients. A PDF book on this topic would cover these concepts, tools, and clinical applications.
