Preferences of AP position of the straight Caucasian facial profile.

Introduction: Several investigators have compared the perception of profile attractiveness between professional and non-professional people, different groups of clinicians, and different ethnic groups. Our aim was to study preferences for facial protrusion in the lateral view for a straight Class I profile and to study the influence of gender, age, sex preference, and profession.

Material And Methods: Portrait images of one male and one female model with a Class I occlusal relationship were warped into nine different antero-posterior positions.
