About
CephX is a specialized AI platform built for orthodontists and dental practitioners, automating complex diagnostic imaging tasks that traditionally require significant manual effort. At its core, CephX offers instant cephalometric tracing and analysis from both 2D digital ceph images and 3D CBCT volumes — users simply upload an image and the AI constructs a complete analysis in seconds. Beyond cephalometrics, CephX provides AI-powered CBCT segmentation, allowing clinicians to validate patient anatomy in 3D, export segmented DICOM files, and gain deep insight into bone positioning, individual teeth, and nerve pathways. The platform also delivers airway volume analysis from CBCT and X-ray data automatically alongside any uploaded scan. CephX has expanded into Intraoral Scan (IOS) management, offering automated segmentation and gingival margin identification, as well as IOS-CBCT stitching for a comprehensive 3D maxillofacial view. All patient records are securely managed via a web-based interface with automatic updates, making it easy to access data from anywhere. Designed for practices of all sizes, CephX improves case acceptance rates, boosts practitioner productivity, and reduces diagnostic turnaround time. A 7-day free trial (or up to 3 free cases) is available, with paid plans starting at $79/month. The platform is trusted by thousands of clinicians worldwide and is ideal for orthodontists, oral surgeons, and dental imaging specialists seeking to integrate AI into their clinical workflows.
Key Features
- AI Cephalometric Analysis: Automatically traces and analyzes 2D ceph images and 3D CBCT volumes, delivering a complete cephalometric report in seconds.
- 3D CBCT Segmentation: Segments bone, individual teeth, and nerves from CBCT scans, enabling export of DICOM files for advanced treatment planning.
- Airway Volume Analysis: Automatically measures airway dimensions and volume from uploaded CBCT or 2D ceph data without any additional workflow steps.
- Intraoral Scan (IOS) Segmentation & Stitching: Performs AI-driven segmentation of IOS data with automatic gingival margin detection, and combines IOS with CBCT for a full 3D maxillofacial view.
- Web-Based Patient Record Management: Securely stores and manages all patient imaging data in the cloud, accessible from any device with automatic platform updates.
Use Cases
- Orthodontists automating pre-treatment cephalometric tracing to reduce case preparation time from minutes to seconds.
- Oral surgeons using CBCT segmentation to validate bone and root anatomy before implant placement or surgical planning.
- Dental practitioners performing airway volume assessments for sleep apnea screening or pre-surgical evaluations.
- Clinics integrating IOS and CBCT data to produce comprehensive 3D maxillofacial models for patient education and case acceptance.
- Multi-location dental practices centralizing and managing patient imaging records securely via a web-based platform accessible from any location.
Pros
- Significant Time Savings: Automates tasks that traditionally take 15–30 minutes per case, delivering full analyses in seconds and freeing up valuable clinical time.
- Comprehensive Imaging Suite: Covers the full diagnostic imaging workflow — cephalometrics, CBCT segmentation, airway analysis, and IOS — in a single platform.
- Accessible to All Experience Levels: Designed for practitioners of varying technical backgrounds, reducing the learning curve associated with complex dental imaging software.
- Free Trial Available: Offers 7 days or 3 free cases, allowing clinicians to validate the tool in their own workflow before committing to a paid plan.
Cons
- Subscription Cost: At $79/month for the base plan with only 3 cases included, the per-case cost can be high for lower-volume practices.
- Niche Application: Purpose-built for orthodontic and dental imaging — not useful outside of clinical dental or oral surgery contexts.
- Web-Only Platform: Lacks a native desktop application, which may be a limitation for clinics with restricted internet access or strict data sovereignty requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is cephalometric analysis and how does CephX automate it?
Cephalometric analysis involves measuring anatomical landmarks on dental X-rays (cephs) to assess jaw and tooth positions. CephX uses AI to automatically identify these landmarks and generate a full analysis report from a 2D ceph or 3D CBCT volume upload in seconds.
Does CephX offer a free trial?
Yes. CephX provides a 7-day free trial or up to 3 free cases (whichever comes first). After the trial, your payment method is charged for the 2D Basic Plan at $79/month unless you cancel.
What imaging formats does CephX support?
CephX supports 2D digital cephalometric images, 3D CBCT volumes (DICOM files), and Intraoral Scans (IOS), making it compatible with most modern dental imaging systems.
Can CephX segment individual teeth and nerves from CBCT scans?
Yes. CephX's CBCT segmentation feature can isolate individual teeth, bone structures, and nerve canals, and export the results as segmented DICOM files for use in treatment planning software.
Who is CephX designed for?
CephX is designed for orthodontists, oral surgeons, and dental practitioners who work with cephalometric and CBCT imaging. It is suitable for solo practitioners as well as larger group practices and is trusted by thousands of clinicians worldwide.
