Bringing Evidence to Cephalometrics.
DIP Ceph
In the AI era, DIP Ceph keeps evolving—from conventional norm-based analysis to delivering the latest evidence.
The future of cephalometrics, for clinicians and researchers alike.
About DIP Ceph
Simpler, More Accurate Cephalometric Analysis
DIP Ceph is a cloud-based AI cephalometric analysis system developed by orthodontic specialists.
By fusing the proprietary DIP (Dual Incisal Planning) method with AI technology, it simultaneously delivers more efficient analysis work, higher analysis accuracy, and better patient explanations.
Standardized, specialist-level cephalometric analysis becomes possible—no specialized training required.
Why Cephalometric Analysis Now?
Challenges in Dental Treatment
Expanding Value Across Diverse Fields
In recent years, cephalometric analysis has drawn attention not only in orthodontics but also in aligner treatment, prosthodontics, dentures, and aesthetic restorations.
Because it quantifies maxillofacial skeletal balance, its use is expanding as an indicator that improves treatment quality and reproducibility.
Accurate Skeletal-Based Evaluation
Cephalometric analysis clarifies the causes of malocclusion by evaluating the positional relationships of the jaws, alveolar bone, and teeth against skeletal criteria.
Based on this scientific evidence, you can clearly explain problems and treatment approaches to patients.
Appropriate Treatment Simulation
Cephalometric analysis is an indicator that accurately evaluates the balance of facial appearance, occlusion, and function based on skeletal criteria.
By comprehensively evaluating facial appearance, occlusion, and function against skeletal criteria, you can rationally set movement amounts, improvement ranges, and final goals. This is a crucial process that determines treatment quality.
DIP Ceph: Three Features Revolutionizing Cephalometric Analysis
DIP Method
(Dual Incisal Planning)
A New Analytical Theory Integrating
Orthodontics and Prosthodontics
Devised by Dr. Junichi Watahiki, the DIP (Dual Incisal Planning) method is a comprehensive approach that integrates orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment based on the positions of the upper and lower incisors.
It also considers facial balance—often overlooked in conventional analyses—and supports patient explanations of the optimal treatment plan envisioned by the dentist.
DIP Magic Trace™
Industry-leading 159 landmarks,
auto-measured in seconds
Simply upload a cephalogram and AI automatically traces 159 measurement points—covering facial profile, skeleton, occlusion, soft tissue, and airway—in just seconds. Work that once took over 30 minutes is dramatically streamlined. Specialist-level accuracy enables standardization unaffected by experience or proficiency. Manual correction is also supported, combining efficiency with precision. DIP Magic Compare™
Visualize Treatment Changes at a Glance
AI automatically superimposes pre- and post-treatment cephalograms. Visually confirm skeletal and dental changes and accurately monitor treatment progress.
Used as explanatory material for patients, it deepens their understanding of and confidence in the treatment plan.
Next-Generation Features — COMING SOON —
Magic Polygon™
Freely combine analysis methods—
your own custom cephalometric analysis
Select the factors you need from 13 analysis methods, 170 factors, and 8 ethnic norms to build your own analysis set. Switch the ethnic norm and every metric updates instantly. From measurement to growth prediction and treatment planning—everything on a single screen.
DIP Evidence
Individualized reference ranges linked to skeletal patterns
The same IMPA of 98° means different things in different skeletal patterns. DIP Evidence calculates individualized reference ranges in real time from the patient’s ANB and SN-GoGn angles. The evidence updates every time you move an incisor, supporting your clinical judgment.
Magic Evidence™
Relevant literature, the moment you open a patient record
Integrates cephalograms, panoramic radiographs, intraoral photos, CT scans, and interview data to automatically generate patient assessments and related literature. An LLM provides structured summaries and stance classification, supporting evidence-based clinical decisions.
CEO MESSAGE
– Cephalometric Analysis, Powered by AI.
Cephalometric analysis is the foundation of orthodontic diagnosis, yet manual tracing inevitably introduces variability.
DIP Ceph was born to improve reproducibility through AI and to handle the evidence behind diagnosis with greater transparency.
AI does not replace diagnosis.
It is a tool that supports reproducibility, rationale, and evidence so that dentists can make more confident decisions.
