Craniofacial Imaging in Orthodontics

Imaging is the backbone of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. But how do we move from classic 2D cephalometry to cutting-edge 3D imaging like cone-beam CT?

In this lecture, we break down the evolution and current practice of **craniofacial imaging in orthodontics**. You’ll learn:

* The history and limitations of traditional cephalometry
* Panoramic, periapical, and tomography applications
* How MRI helps in TMJ evaluation
* The rise of **cone-beam CT (CBCT)** and its advantages in orthodontics
* Digital imaging, stereophotogrammetry, and 3D patient-specific models
* How these tools change diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcomes

Whether you’re a dental student, orthodontic resident, or practitioner refreshing your knowledge, this video gives you a **clear, step-by-step guide** to modern orthodontic imaging.
