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.
