title: Achieving facial harmony through orthodontics.
abstract: A substantial body of science allows the application of objective measurement techniques to augment a clinician's subjective assessment of facial harmony and beauty. These techniques have found wide application in all clinical disciplines involved with the enhancement of facial beauty, including esthetic dentistry, plastic surgery, orthognathic surgery, and prosthodontics. This paper will explore the applications of those techniques to the field of orthodontics.
