“…An increased facial convexity was also found in previous cephalometric studies 1,12 for adolescents considered attractive, and preferred by patients and mothers. 25 In the horizontal plane, attractive children and ''young'' adolescents had flatter faces (typical of newborns), but the trend reversed in the ''old'' adolescent subjects, with a relatively more prominent chin. This feature is consistent with current reports on adult male attractiveness 3,15,26 : high prenatal testosterone levels, and high circulating testosterone produce a more prominent lower face.…”

“…19 Additionally, esthetics should be evaluated by the laypersons, who actual seek (and finally judge) orthodontic or maxillofacial treatment. 12,23,25 Male and female attractive adolescents were subdivided into groups of different ages, girls being 2-3 years younger than boys. This procedure was made to take the sex-related discrepancies in the timing of pubertal growth spurt into account, 22 thus allowing the assessment of more homogenous biological ages.…”

Objectives: To identify possible esthetic canons in facial size and shape of Italian adolescent boys and girls. Materials and Methods: The three-dimensional coordinates of 50 facial landmarks (forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth, jaw, ears) were collected in 231 healthy, reference adolescents (10-17 years old) and in 93 similar age group ''attractive'' adolescents selected by a commercial casting organization. Soft-tissue facial angles, distances, areas, and volumes were computed. Comparisons were made with analysis of variance. Results: Attractive adolescents had wider, shorter, and less deep faces than reference adolescents, with a relatively larger forehead and maxilla, and a reduced mandible relative to the maxilla. Lips were larger and more prominent, and the nasolabial angle was reduced, but in older boys the effect was reversed. The prominence of the soft-tissue profile, and of the maxilla relative to the mandible, were larger in attractive boys, but smaller in attractive girls than in their reference peers. In the horizontal plane, attractive ''young'' adolescents had a flatter face, while the opposite pattern was observed in the ''old'' adolescents, with a relatively more prominent chin. Attractive adolescents had smaller noses than reference subjects of the same age and sex. Conclusions: Overall, all the measurements appeared sufficiently homogenous, and the quantitative characteristics of an ''attractive'' face well defined. Esthetic reference values can be used to determine optimal timing and goals in orthodontic treatment.

“…O uso de imagens alteradas por software simulando as alterações da face auxilia o diagnóstico e o plano de tratamento entre paciente, pais e cirurgião-dentista, pois se o ortodontista utilizar somente telerradiografia lateral da face como método de diagnósti-co, ele deixará de lado as alterações de tecido mole 13 . A avaliação da estética facial depende muito da percepção de quem e da forma de como se observa.…”

“…[17] One of the main aims of orthodontic treatment is facial esthetics however, the patient's perception of esthetic face depends on the social and cultural rules of the society whereas the orthodontist prefers to use scientifi cally derived Graph 3: Subjects were happy of not happy by their facial profi le (results in %) Graph 1: Distribution of most attractive profi le according to subjects in dental and laypeople group (results in %) Graph 2: Accuracy in profi le judgment by subjects of dental student and laypeople group (results in %) parameters as guideline. [16,[18][19][20] Hence, professional assessment is important, but patient's views about dental appearance should also be respected and included in the assessment for treatment planning. [9] On clinical examination of all the subjects by an orthodontist, it was found that the most common profi le Saudi Arabia population of Riyadh province is convex profi le with a prominent nose.…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy in the perception of the own facial profi le by subjects and to compare the orthodontist's perception of attractive profi le with those of laypeople and dental students. Materials and Methods: In this study, 180 subjects (90 dental students and 90 laypeople) from Riyadh province of Saudi Arabia were evaluated by a questionnaire. The questionnaire was designed to fi nd out the most attractive profi le among the two groups, the perception of own facial profi le and expectations of subjects from orthodontic treatment. The facial profi les of the individuals were evaluated by two clinicians separately. The diff erences among groups in the perception of the own profi le were compared by using Chi-square (χ 2 ) test. Kappa coeffi cient was used to assess the agreement between the two groups. For all statistical analysis P < 0.05 was set as the signifi cance level. Results:The most attractive profi le perceived by both the groups was Class I, followed by straight profi le and least attractive was Class III profi le with the protrusive mandible. The diff erence in the profi le perception between the clinicians and subjects was statistically signifi cant (P < 0.05). Conclusion:The most attractive profi le perceived by both the groups was Class I, followed by straight profi le dental students were more accurate in the perception of the own profi le. The expected profi le of patients after orthodontic treatment is not same for all the subjects.
