WebCeph

WebCeph is a web-based orthodontic analysis service that traces a lateral cephalogram automatically, runs cephalometric analyses, superimposes serial images and simulates orthodontic and orthognathic treatment, all in the browser. It is aimed at orthodontists, general dentists who treat orthodontic cases, and dental students who need cephalometric tracing without buying desktop software. People searching for “WebCeph free” are usually asking whether the free plan is real: it is, and it includes the automated tracing and analysis, but paid plans add many features, so the service is listed here as shareware (conditionally free).

The developer, AssembleCircle Corp. of Seongnam, South Korea, lists WebCeph as a medical device: an FDA 510(k) number (K220903), a Korean MFDS certification and an EU authorised representative are shown on the official site, together with ISO 13485 certification. The intended use is image analysis, treatment simulation, VTO/STO and patient consultation by dentists who provide orthodontic treatment. There is no desktop installer for the free service; it runs in a browser, with companion apps for iOS and Android.

WebCeph at a glance

What it does

• Automated cephalometric tracing: upload a lateral cephalogram and the AI places the landmarks; you check and drag any that need correction.
• Cephalometric analyses: a set of standard analyses is calculated from the traced landmarks, with measurement tables, profilogram-style tracings and PDF export; custom analysis and measurement wizards let you define your own method.
• Automated superimposition: pre- and post-treatment cephalograms are superimposed automatically to evaluate treatment progress and growth.
• VTO/STO simulation: simulate orthodontic tooth movement and orthognathic surgery, including facial-profile changes on clinical photographs, and save the result as an image or a video for the consultation.
• Image gallery and viewer: clinical photographs and radiographs organised in Single, Dual and Template modes.
• Caseroom: cases saved as templates and reviewed later; a forum and community features for sharing cases and webinars with colleagues.
• Paid-plan extras: ad-free interface, timelapse videos, landmark customisation and coordinate export, advanced and profile superimposition, clinic logo on reports, treatment tracking tables, image editing, PA cephalometric and frontal/lateral face viewers, 3D STL model viewing with online storage, an occlusogram viewer, automated photo upload and a desktop application.

How dental teams use it

Tracing and analysing a lateral ceph

1. Create a patient and upload the lateral cephalogram as an image file exported from your X-ray software.
2. Run the automated tracing and review every landmark on the enlarged image; correct the ones the AI misplaced (the soft-tissue and condylar points usually need the most attention).
3. Pick the analysis you use, read the measurement table against the norms, and export the PDF for the patient record.

Comparing pre- and post-treatment records

1. Upload the second cephalogram to the same patient and trace it.
2. Run the automated superimposition and inspect the skeletal and dental changes.
3. Save the overlay as an image for the case presentation or the referring dentist.

Showing a patient the expected result

1. Open the VTO/STO tool on the traced cephalogram and set the planned tooth movements or surgical repositioning.
2. Apply the simulation to the profile photograph and export an image or a short video to show during the consultation.

Install and first run

• Browser: nothing to install; use “Join for Free” on the official site, confirm the account and log in.
• Mobile apps: WebCeph is on the App Store (iOS 13 or later, iPhone, iPad and Apple-silicon Macs) and Google Play, with the same account. The store listings have not been updated since 2024, so most new features appear in the web version first.
• Images: export cephalograms from your imaging software as JPG or PNG at full resolution; a ruler or known pixel size in the image is needed for correct millimetre measurements.
• Data: patient images are stored on the developer’s servers. Check that uploading identifiable radiographs to a cloud service outside your country satisfies your data-protection obligations, or de-identify the images first.
• Advertising: the free plan shows advertisements; an ad-free interface is one of the paid-plan features.

Limitations

• The free plan covers tracing, analysis, superimposition and VTO/STO, but PA ceph and face viewers, STL models, landmark export, clinic branding and the desktop application are reserved for paid plans. Prices are not stated here.
• The official site does not publish the full list of analyses; check the available methods in your account before relying on a specific one. Verify the AI landmarks yourself on every case.
• Cloud only: no offline use, and image quality depends on what you export from your X-ray software.
• Not a CBCT tool: WebCeph works with 2D cephalograms and photographs; 3D ceph from CBCT needs software such as 3D Slicer or a commercial planning suite.
• Regulatory status differs by country: an FDA listing and Korean certification are shown; confirm the status in your own market before clinical use.

WebCeph vs alternatives

For AI tracing of 2D cephalograms, WebCeph’s closest free alternative is the cephalometric module in BlueSkyPlan, which runs on the desktop and also handles CBCT and implant planning but has no automatic landmarking in the community edition. Diagnocat produces CBCT-based 3D cephalometric reports as part of a paid cloud service. For general 2D measurement and image comparison without orthodontic analyses, a free DICOM viewer such as Weasis or RadiAnt is enough.

FAQ

Is WebCeph free?

The free plan includes automated cephalometric tracing, cephalometric analyses, VTO/STO simulation, automated superimposition, the image gallery and the caseroom. Additional viewers, export options and branding require a paid plan, so WebCeph is shareware (conditionally free).

Is there a WebCeph free download?

The service runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download for the free plan. The mobile apps are free to install from the App Store and Google Play; the desktop application belongs to the ELITE plan.

Does WebCeph work on Windows?

Yes, through any modern browser on Windows, macOS or Linux. The separate desktop application is available only on the ELITE plan.

Where is the WebCeph login?

Log in at the official website or in the mobile app with the account you created with “Join for Free”.

What does WebCeph Premium add?

PREMIUM adds PA cephalometric, frontal-face and lateral-face viewers with diagnostic guides on top of the PLUS features (ad-free interface, timelapse videos, landmark export, advanced superimposition, clinic logo, treatment tracking tables). ELITE adds 3D STL models, an occlusogram viewer, patient reports and the desktop app.

Which cephalometric analyses does WebCeph offer?

The official pages say “various cephalometric analyses” and offer custom analysis and measurement wizards; the exact list is visible after login.

Is WebCeph FDA-approved?

The official site shows an FDA 510(k) number (K220903) and a Korean medical-device certification, and names an EU authorised representative. Clearance is not the same as approval.
