Objective: Evaluate the facial profile changes of orthodontic treatment with extraction of two upper first premolars, from the perspective of orthodontists, dentists and lay people. Methods: Facial profiles of radiographs taken before and after treatment of 70 patients with Class II, division 1 malocclusion were traced. The silhouettes of the 70 patients were randomly assembled in an album with, being two profiles on each sheet of the same patient. Then, 30 orthodontists, 30 dentists and 30 lay people chose the more esthetic facial profile (A or B), and the amount of change they perceived between the two profiles before and after treatment, according to a visual analog scale (VAS). Results: The results revealed that 83 examiners preferred the posttreatment profiles, and only three dentists and four lay people chose the profiles pre-treatment more frequently. Thus, the orthodontists often chose the profiles after treatment, followed by dentists, with no statistically significant differences found between dentists and lay people. There were significant differences within groups in the preference of pre-and post-treatment profile. Furthermore, the three groups of evaluators indicated that pre and post-treatment profiles did not differ substantially. Conclusions:The treatment of Class II, division 1 malocclusion with extraction of two first premolars has a positive effect on facial profile esthetics. Objetivo: avaliar as alterações do perfil facial decorrentes do tratamento ortodôntico com extrações de dois primeiros pré--molares superiores, sob a óptica de ortodontistas, cirurgiões-dentistas e leigos. Métodos: foram traçados os perfis faciais das telerradiografias pré-e pós-tratamento de 70 pacientes com má oclusão de Classe II, divisão 1, e foi montado um álbum com as silhuetas dos 70 pacientes, de forma aleatória, sendo dois perfis em cada folha do mesmo paciente. A seguir, 30 ortodontistas, 30 cirurgiões-dentistas e 30 leigos escolheram o perfil facial mais estético (A ou B), e a quantidade de alteração que percebiam entre os dois perfis pré-e pós-tratamento, de acordo com a escala visual analógica (EVA). Resultados: os resultados revelaram que 83 examinadores preferiram o perfil pós-tratamento, sendo que somente três cirurgiões-dentistas e quatro leigos escolheram com maior frequência os perfis pré-tratamento. Assim, os ortodontistas escolheram mais frequentemente os perfis pós-tratamento, seguidos pelos cirurgiões-dentistas, sem diferença estatisticamente significativa entre cirurgiões-dentistas e leigos. Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa intragrupos na preferência do perfil pré-e pós-tratamento. Além disso, os três grupos de avaliadores indicaram que os perfis pré-e pós-tratamento não diferiram substancialmente. Conclusões: o tratamento da má oclusão de Classe II, divisão 1, com extração de dois primeiros pré-molares produziu um efeito positivo na estética do perfil facial.Palavras-chave: Extração dentária.

“…The literature also suggests that Pattern III individuals are more likely to accept orthognathic surgery than Patterns II patients due to the impact of this discrepancy on facial aesthetics. 11,27 A published study 22 showed, however, that Pattern III individuals in this sample exhibited more striking discrepancies in their profile than those with Pattern II, when compared with Pattern I individuals. This may be one of the reasons why Pattern III individuals received lower scores than Pattern II.…”

Objective: To evaluate the influence of age, gender, sagittal occlusal relationship, facial pattern and 8 facial profile measures on profile aesthetics. Methods: Contingency tables, chi-square test and Cramer's coefficient were used to evaluate the possible association between the scores assigned by 32 examiners (14 orthodontists, 12 laypeople and 6 artists) to the aesthetics of the profile of 100 Brazilian Caucasian adults, all patients with lip seal competence, and age, gender, sagittal occlusal relationship, facial pattern and the variables of the numerical analysis of the facial profile. Results: No association was found between age, gender and sagittal occlusal relationship and the aesthetics of facial profile. An association was observed between profile scores and facial pattern, facial convexity angle and lower face angle. Conclusions: Among the factors evaluated in this study, facial profile convexity and anterior chin projection were the key determinants of facial profile aesthetics. AbstractKeywords: Facial profile. Aesthetics. Orthodontic diagnosis.

“…In people with a small nasolabial angle, the mouth protrusion would appear more prominent because of the bimaxillary protrusion and recessed subnasal point that exist in Asians. 8,9 In such cases, the patient desires only simple augmentation rhinoplasty to compensate for a relatively small nose. However, this procedure alone may not produce a good result, making the patient appear Bwitch-like,[ as in fairy tales.…”

Improvements in both living standards and incomes have meant that many more people are now able to undergo elective plastic surgery for facial improvement. The nose and midface are the most frequent surgical target in Korea. However, the lack of reliable and precise anthropological data is a hindrance for effective surgical applications in this area. In the current study, 21 different lengths and angles of the midface and nose were measured in 2065 volunteers. The data were analyzed to establish sex and racial differences. Most of the measurements obtained from male volunteers were 5% to 10% greater than for the females, exceptions being the nasofrontal, nasolabial, and nasal tip angles. The biggest sex difference was found for depth of pupil, and the smallest difference was for intercanthal distance. For each measurement, the ratio of proportional differences was similar to that for whites. Many Koreans exhibited a columella protrusion of 4 to 5 mm; that parameter measures 2 to 3 mm in whites. The prevention of a hanging columella is important in nasal tip surgery. The intercanthal distance was also relatively large compared with the facial width. In females, the intercanthal distance was similar to the length of the nasal dorsum and the width of the nose. Surgeons may find this analysis useful for surgical planning. The present study provides basic clues for planning and practice in reconstructive and aesthetic facial surgery.
