Comparison of upper and lower lip position, length and thickness in sagittal and vertical malocclusion.

This study aimed to compare the upper and lower lips position, length, and thickness in different malocclusions, in randomly selected 180 patients' pre-treatment lateral cephalograms. The subjects were grouped sagittally by using Steiner's analysis and Wits appraisal and vertically based on Frankfort horizontal and mandibular plane (FHMP) angle and lower facial height. One-way ANOVA was applied to compare the upper and lower lip positions, thickness, and length in sagittal and vertical malocclusion and independent sample T test was applied for comparison between genders among soft tissue variables.
