Lateral
Cephalogram
A specialized side-profile X-ray of the face and skull. Crucial for orthodontists and oral surgeons to measure the relationship between the teeth, jaw, and facial profile.
What is a Lat Ceph?
A Lateral Cephalometric Radiograph (Lat Ceph) is an X-ray taken from the side of the face with very precise positioning. It allows dental professionals to evaluate the skeletal and dental relationship of your jaws and head. Dentists use these images to trace specific anatomical landmarks and calculate angles for treatment planning.
