LATERAL CEPHALOGRAM

A lateral cephalogram stands as a specialized X-ray method particularly relevant to dentistry and orthodontics, frequently employed at Hypro Diagnostics for diagnostic purposes. This imaging technique captures a side profile of the head, offering a detailed view of facial and dental structures. During the procedure, the patient’s head is carefully positioned against a flat surface, and X-rays are directed perpendicularly to create comprehensive images of the skull and its surrounding tissues. Within our diagnostic framework, these lateral cephalograms are integral for our oral health professionals to evaluate tooth alignment, jawbone development, and the overall facial structure’s coherence. The insights derived from these images play a pivotal role in crafting precise diagnoses and tailoring customized treatment plans, especially in addressing conditions like malocclusions. In addition to orthodontics, lateral cephalograms find widespread applications across various dental and medical domains, contributing invaluable information for thorough diagnostic evaluations at Hypro Diagnostics.
