Create your own
The Ceph Builder in OrthoKit is a groundbreaking tool that redefines how orthodontists, universities, and students approach cephalometric analysis.
Instead of being restricted to predefined techniques, Ceph Builder allows you to create and customize your own cephalometric analyses with unmatched flexibility.
With Ceph Builder you can:
- ✍️ Edit every detail: rename the analysis, adjust section titles, and relabel measurements to fit your own diagnostic framework.
- 📊 Personalize values and norms: set your own standards and even adapt ranges by age (9–18 years) or by sex, reflecting true craniofacial variation.
- 🧾 Define custom interpretations: add explanatory notes or treatment guidelines that mirror your clinical philosophy.
- 🧩 Select from over 330 measurements: combine skeletal, dental, and soft-tissue parameters to design analyses that fit your practice, teaching, or research.
Cephalometric Analysis, Reinvented
Orthodontists around the world rely on cephalometry to diagnose skeletal patterns, evaluate growth, plan treatments, and monitor clinical progress. It is one of the cornerstones of orthodontic decision-making: precise angular and linear measurements derived from anatomical landmarks on a radiograph. Until now, creating or modifying a cephalometric analysis required specialized desktop software, rigid predefined templates, and almost no room for customization.
CephBuilder changes that completely.
With CephBuilder, clinicians can design, build, and customize their own cephalometric analysis directly inside OrthoKit. Every landmark, measurement, angle, ratio, and sequence can be configured to match personal workflows, academic requirements, or research protocols. Orthodontists are no longer limited to fixed analyses—they can create exactly the diagnostic toolset they need.
This powerful new system is built using Apple’s most advanced native technologies:
- CoreGraphics, for pixel-accurate anatomical drawing and measurement geometry.
- SwiftUI, for a clean, adaptive interface that feels perfectly at home across macOS, iPadOS, and iOS.
- Metal, for high-performance rendering of anatomical structures, overlays, and future 3D-based cephalometric tools.
The result is a seamless, fluid experience that lets clinicians craft complex analyses with the same elegance and clarity they expect from Apple’s own apps. CephBuilder isn’t just a new feature—it elevates cephalometric diagnostics on the App Store to a level never reached before.
OrthoKit has become the leading reference app in the world of orthodontics, built for a niche that has embraced it with warmth and enthusiasm. Designed and developed entirely by a single orthodontist with a passion for technology, OrthoKit merges clinical insight with software craftsmanship in a way that is rarely seen in healthcare apps.
Every detail of OrthoKit has been carefully refined to meet the standards of Apple’s latest design language, Liquid Glass, perfectly aligned with the future of macOS and iOS.
The 3D update introduces one of the most significant breakthroughs to date: 3D radiography (DICOM) support. For the first time, orthodontists can explore volumetric CBCT scans within OrthoKit itself—viewing slices, reconstructions, and structures in three dimensions, directly on their Apple devices. This is not simply an incremental feature; it’s a redefinition of what orthodontic software on the App Store can achieve.
With Ceph Builder, OrthoKit transforms cephalometric analysis into a dynamic, customizable, and collaborative process. It empowers orthodontists and educators to innovate, teach, and diagnose with precision—while keeping the workflow as simple as importing a file.
Ideal for Different Scenarios
🏛 Universities & Teaching
Create an institution-wide cephalometric protocol so all students and researchers share a unified framework. Ideal for structured teaching and academic projects.🎓 Master’s & Residency Programs
Students can experiment with hybrid analyses, combining elements from Steiner, Ricketts, McNamara, Björk, and more, gaining a deeper understanding of cephalometric concepts through hands-on learning.🧑🤝🧑 Collaboration & Sharing
Sharing is effortless: export your custom analysis, send it to a colleague, and they can import it with a double-click, or through Settings → Cephalometry → Import Analysis.
Collaboration across clinics, universities, or research teams has never been simpler.⚙️ Clinical Innovation
Adapt analyses to your specific patient population or treatment philosophy, ensuring your diagnostic tools evolve with your orthodontic practice.
