Description
Omar Ali Kamel Eldeeb and four co-authors test a free web-based AI tool for orthodontic X-ray analysis. Their 2025 study notes that AI tracing of head films is popular but pricey, which shuts out clinics in poorer countries. Free tools exist, yet few have been checked with care. The team compared the free platform WebCeph against careful hand tracing and against a commercial AI package.
Films from fifty-seven patients were measured by all three routes. The three methods disagreed clearly on eleven of eighteen measures. The commercial package strayed furthest from hand tracing on several jaw and tooth angles. The free platform stayed closer to the hand standard overall, with fewer and smaller gaps. The authors conclude the free tool performs comparably to manual tracing and, in this test, better than the paid rival, a result with weight for low-resource practice.
