Abstract

The research objective of the study is to analyse the possibilities of injection contouring for aesthetic rehabilitation of patients using the functionality of the WebCeph online platform.Materials and methods of research. In accordance with the purpose and objectives of the study, theoretical methods of cognition were used. An analysis of scientific sources, synthesis of information, establishment of essential connections between the results of analytics and one's own practical experience, generalization and interpretation were carried out.Scientific novelty. The article substantiates the need for an interdisciplinary approach in modern orthodontics, combining bite correction with subsequent harmonisation of the soft tissues of the face. After completing orthodontic treatment, patients often experience disharmony, such as changes in lip volume or lower third facial proportions, requiring the use of cosmetic correction methods to achieve a holistic aesthetic result.Based on an analysis of scientific sources and our own practice in the field of orthodontics and cosmetology, we present the most effective functionality of the web platform for facial rehabilitation after orthodontic treatment.The possibilities of WebCeph to automatically perform cephalometric analysis of X-rays and photographs using artificial intelligence algorithms are revealed, providing accurate quantitative data on the condition of soft tissues and facial proportions.Conclusions. It has been proven that the integration of WebCeph into clinical practice is a prospective direction that combines orthodontics and injection cosmetology into a single process to achieve complete aesthetic satisfaction for the patient. The use of WebCeph allows you to move from subjective assessment to scientifically based planning of injection procedures, such as the use of intradermal fillers or botulinum toxin. The analysis of specific parameters, such as the position of the lips relative to the Ricketts aesthetic line, the nasolabial angle or the vertical proportions of the face, increases the predictability and quality of the final result. WebCeph has been identified not only as a diagnostic tool, but also as a means of effective professional communication between orthodontists and cosmetologists. The integration of WebCeph into clinical practice is a promising direction that combines orthodontics and injection cosmetology into a single process to achieve complete aesthetic satisfaction for the patient.
