Digitally altered male and female profile images were rated for attractiveness by 50 orthodontists and 100 lay participants using a visual analog scale. Results showed no significant differences between orthodontists and laypeople in preferred lip positions. Straight profiles were rated most attractive overall, with lip retrusion favored in retrognathic profiles and lip protrusion preferred in prognathic profiles. Minimal lip retrusion was more acceptable in male profiles. Both groups demonstrated tolerance for moderate lip-position changes and showed high rating reliability. 000000826 540__ $$fCC BY 000000826 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000826 650__ $$aEsthetics, Dental$$018653 000000826 650__ $$aLip$$021530 000000826 691__ $$aSchool of Dentistry$$041368 000000826 692__ $$aDepartment of Orthodontics$$041435 000000826 7001_ $$aShimogaki, Sheriann$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000826 8564_ $$93dfcd50b-78da-4963-bf55-f175dff08e94$$s943743$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/826/files/829_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2c708bcd4181e1d3f4cca4e64413ad014$$31 000000826 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
