Artificial intelligence-assisted cephalometric analysis versus manual tracing in distal occlusion treatment: a comparative clinical study using webceph and cephx platforms

Traditional manual cephalometric analysis remains the gold standard in orthodontic diagnosis despite being time-consuming and operator-dependent.. Artificial intelligence (Al) platforms offer automated solutions that may enhance accuracy and efficiency in orthodontic treatment planning. Objective: To compare the accuracy, reliability and clinical efficiency of Al-assisted cephalometric analysis using WebCeph and CephX platforms versus conventional manual tracing methods in patients with distal occlusion (Class II malocclusion).
