Course Overview

Cephalometrics made simple - brought to you by The CLEAR Institute and (g)nathos.

This collaborative course combines the educational precision of Dr. Gerry Samson, founder of (g)nathos, and the clarity-driven teaching style of Dr. Stéphane Reinhardt, Director of Education at The CLEAR Institute. Together, they’ve created a learning experience that blends decades of orthodontic wisdom with the practical reality of today’s clear aligner dentist.

Cephalometrics can seem complex, but when broken down step-by-step, with context, humor, and clinical relevance, it becomes one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in dentistry. This course transforms how you see and use cephalometrics in your daily practice: from tracing to diagnosis, from confusion to clarity.

You’ll learn where to look, what to trace, and why it matters for every case you treat. Whether you’re just starting your journey or refining your aligner diagnostics, this course will give you a new appreciation for the anatomy behind every smile.

This course also includes a complete eBook that brings together every detail, form, and reference article you need to follow the lessons and apply them confidently in practice.
