Cephalometric X-Ray

Radiografia del cranio e della mascella

Cephalometric X-Ray - One-Shot Technology

We provide true one-shot cephalometric radiographs using our Planmeca Viso system. This is an important distinction. Unlike scan-based cephalometric reconstructions, a true one-shot cephalometric exposure is:

  • Fully compliant with Swiss radiological standards
  • Accepted for Swiss insurance billing
  • More precise for orthodontic diagnosis
  • Less prone to distortion compared to scan-derived reconstructions

These are essential for preventive dentistry.

Intraoral radiographs - Periapical radiographs

Cephalometric imaging is essential for:

  • Orthodontic treatment planning
  • Growth and facial development analysis in children and adolescents
  • Skeletal discrepancy assessment
  • Insurance approval for orthodontic cases
  • Monitoring jaw development over time

Accurate one-shot cephalometric imaging ensures reliable measurements for both clinical and insurance purposes.
