Esthetic preferences for facial soft tissue profiles.
Our aim was to determine any significant difference in esthetic preferences for facial soft tissue profiles among orthodontists, orthodontic patients and their parents. As orthodontic treatment influences facial profiles, the patients' preference for their profile should be sought before treatment, instead of assuming what the orthodontist feels is ideal.
