Assessing the Influence of Chin-Throat Length on Perceived Profile Attractiveness
Abstract
Extensive studies have shown facial attractiveness is complex with a range of acceptable facial forms and traits across diverse cultures. Orthodontists plan treatment that can alter a patients facial appearance and are therefore trained to identify dentofacial deformities, risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea, and a thorough understanding of facial esthetics. The submental-cervical angle is often considered an important esthetic parameter when evaluating lower profile morphology. Conversely, the chin-throat length (C-T length) has not traditionally been considered despite the fact it is altered with mandibular orthognathic surgery.
