This study created standardized facial attractiveness rankings for evaluating orthognathic treatment outcomes. Minor correlations were found between ANB angle and anterior lower face height percentages and attractiveness, with wide ANB deviations reducing appeal.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics and Dentofacial Aesthetics
  • Facial Aesthetics Research
  • Somatic Science

Background:

  • Assessing facial attractiveness is crucial for evaluating orthognathic treatment success.
  • Standardized photographic references are needed to objectively measure aesthetic outcomes.
  • Understanding the influence of skeletal relationships on perceived attractiveness is key.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create standardized photographic sets of male and female faces across a spectrum of attractiveness for orthognathic treatment assessment.
  • To investigate the relationship between anteroposterior (AP) skeletal discrepancies (ANB angle) and anterior lower face height (ALFH) percentages with facial attractiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled standardized photographs of 30 males and 30 females from an initial sample.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Utilized a panel of 6 clinicians and 6 non-clinicians to rank facial attractiveness.
  • Analyzed correlations between soft tissue ANB measurements, ALFH percentages, and ranked attractiveness scores.

    • Main Results:

    • High inter-rater reliability was observed among clinicians and non-clinicians in ranking facial attractiveness.
    • Soft tissue ANB showed minimal direct correlation with attractiveness, but deviations from an ideal ANB of 5 degrees decreased attractiveness.
    • ALFH percentage had minimal correlation; greater percentages were less attractive in females, while the opposite trend was observed in males.

    Conclusions:

    • Ranked photographic sets, particularly those by non-clinicians, can serve as reliable standards for assessing facial attractiveness post-orthognathic treatment.
    • While skeletal discrepancies have subtle effects, significant deviations in ANB angle impact perceived facial attractiveness.
    • ALFH trends suggest gender-specific aesthetic preferences regarding lower facial proportions.
