Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to validate a new aesthetic analysis and establish the maxilla's position using an ideal reference group, specifically 81 Italian women from a beauty contest.
- During the research, Arnett's soft tissue cephalometric analysis and the new "Vertical Planning Line" analysis were applied, assisting in the surgical treatment planning for 60 female patients with skeletal class III malocclusion.
- The results showed that postoperative values of these patients were closer to the ideal reference values, supporting the effectiveness of the new analysis in improving treatment outcomes for skeletal malocclusions.
