AudaxCeph 2025: AI-Powered Cephalometric Analysis Software

AudaxCeph 2025 is an advanced, AI-powered cephalometric analysis software that represents the latest evolution in digital orthodontic diagnostics from Audax d.o.o. (Ljubljana, Slovenia) . Version 7 (2025 release) is positioned as “the most advanced AI-powered cephalometric software in orthodontics,” offering features such as superimpositions, VTO (Visualized Treatment Objective), skull growth projection, and much more.

The software transforms traditional manual cephalometric tracing into a semi-automated or fully automated digital workflow. It allows clinicians to upload lateral cephalometric radiographs, automatically detect anatomical landmarks, trace craniofacial structures, perform comprehensive cephalometric analyses, and generate treatment simulations—all within a unified platform.

Available in three configurations: AudaxCeph Ultimate (local desktop), AudaxCeph Essentials (local desktop with core features), and WeDoCeph (cloud-hosted solution accessible via web browser). This flexibility makes it suitable for solo practitioners, group practices, and academic institutions with different IT requirements.

???? Primary Users

This professional orthodontic diagnostic software is designed for:

  • Orthodontists & Dentofacial Orthopedists performing cephalometric analysis, treatment planning, and growth prediction for malocclusion patients

  • Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons planning orthognathic surgery with VTO (Visualized Treatment Objective) and superimposition tools

  • Orthodontic Researchers & Academics conducting quantitative analysis of craniofacial growth and treatment outcomes

  • Dental Schools & Teaching Hospitals training residents in cephalometric tracing and orthodontic diagnosis

  • General Dentists offering basic orthodontic evaluation and patient education services

⚡ Key Features & Capabilities

 

???? AI-Powered Landmark Detection & Tracing

Feature Description
Automatic Landmark Detection AI algorithms identify up to 23 anatomical landmarks on lateral cephalograms 
Semi-Automatic Mode Allows clinician refinement of automatically detected landmarks; demonstrates greater agreement and precision than fully automated mode 
Fully Automatic Mode Complete hands-off analysis for routine cases and initial screening
Craniofacial Structure Tracing Automatic tracing of cranial base, maxilla, mandible, dentition, and soft tissue profile

???? Comprehensive Cephalometric Analysis

The software supports a wide range of analysis methods, including:

Analysis Type Key Measurements Clinical Application
Skeletal Analysis SNA, SNB, ANB, mandibular plane angle, facial convexity Assessment of jaw relationships and growth pattern
Dental Analysis U1-SN, U1-NA, L1-NB, interincisal angle (U1-L1) Tooth angulation, inclination, and protrusion
Soft Tissue Analysis Nasolabial angle, upper/lower lip position (E-line) Esthetic treatment planning and facial balance
Airway Analysis Pharyngeal dimensions Sleep apnea and breathing disorder assessment

The software’s accuracy has been validated in multiple peer-reviewed studies, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) consistently exceeding 0.90 compared to manual tracing and Dolphin software .

???? Specialized Diagnostic Modules

Module Application
Superimpositions Compare serial cephalograms to evaluate growth, treatment changes, and surgical outcomes 
VTO (Visualized Treatment Objective) Simulate predicted facial and dental changes following orthodontic or surgical treatment 
Skull Growth Projection Predict craniofacial growth patterns for growing patients 
Skeletal Maturity Assessment Evaluate cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) for growth phase determination

???? Clinical Workflow Integration

  • Multi-Format Image Import – Supports BMP, JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, DICOM formats 

  • Structured Data Export – Generate comprehensive analysis reports in PDF format

  • Image Markup & Annotation – Add clinical notes, measurements, and treatment plans directly on cephalometric tracings

  • Patient Database Management – Centralized storage of patient records, images, and analyses

☁️ Flexible Deployment Options

Edition Deployment Best For
AudaxCeph Ultimate Local desktop (Windows) High-volume practices requiring full local control and data privacy
AudaxCeph Essentials Local desktop (Windows) Smaller practices with core analysis needs
WeDoCeph Cloud-hosted (web browser) Clinics desiring remote access, automatic updates, and reduced IT overhead 

Both local and cloud-hosted configurations are intended for use only by specialty dental professionals .

???? Clinical Performance & Validation

???? Accuracy Data from Published Studies

The software’s diagnostic accuracy has been rigorously evaluated:

Study Parameter Finding
Agreement with Manual Tracing ICC values consistently > 0.90 for skeletal, dental, and soft tissue parameters 
Inter-Observer Reliability ICC > 0.98, confirming reproducibility across different operators 
Intra-Observer Reliability ICC > 0.99, demonstrating excellent test-retest consistency 
Agreement with Dolphin Software Comparable accuracy to industry-standard Dolphin software 

“The semi-automated AudaxCeph software offers a robust and cost-effective solution for cephalometric analysis. Its high accuracy and affordability make it a compelling alternative to Dolphin software and the manual method.” 

???? FDA Regulatory Clearance

AudaxCeph received FDA 510(k) clearance (K243005) on May 30, 2025 . The clearance confirms substantial equivalence to predicate devices for orthodontic treatment planning through cephalogram analysis.

⚠️ Clinical Recommendations

Based on validation studies, optimal results are achieved when:

  • Clinicians review and refine automatically detected landmarks, particularly those off the midsagittal plane (Porion, Gonion, Orbitale, incisal edges, root apices) 

  • Final treatment decisions incorporate clinical judgment, not solely automated outputs 

  • Head positioning is optimized during image acquisition, as positional errors can reduce measurement accuracy
