1. A method for generating a cephalometric analysis of an orthodontic patient, comprising: receiving a sequence of images each corresponding to a specific anatomical plane of the orthodontic patient; deriving a volumetric representation of the orthodontic patient from a combination of the sequence of the images; receiving one or more markers associated with particular anatomical landmarks of the orthodontic patient according to a predefined analysis method, the markers being defined by a set of coordinate values referenced to the volumetric representation and designated via an interactive user interface to a series of two-dimensional representations of axial views, coronal views, and saggital views corresponding to the received sequence of images, the markers being designated in at least each one of views; generating connectors between one or more selected ones of the markers in accordance with the predefined analysis method; and overlaying a visual representation of the markers and the connectors on the volumetric representation; generating a profile outline of the orthodontic patient without user intervention based upon a chin point and a nose point derived from the received markers; and overlaying a visual representation of the profile outline on the volumetric representation; wherein the chin point and the nose point are identified from an intersection of common tangents of a first fitted circle based around a farthest point forward above a received marker corresponding to a point A, and a second fitted circle based around a farthest point forward from a Pogonion point intersecting with a soft tissue edge.
