Abstract
Objective: To correlate the changes in objective cephalometric measurements with changes in subjective facial esthetics in Class II Div 1 malocclusion. Materials and Method: The sample consists of 30 class II division 1 patients with Indian origin who met the inclusion criteria. Right lateral pre and post photographs were taken and rated by panel of 10 orthodontist and 10 lay persons with the VAS score. Pre and post standardized lateral cephalograms were obtained and values were compared. The correlation between changes in facial attractiveness and cephalometric parameters were statistically analyzed. Results: The cephalometric measurements did not directly correlate to the post treatment perceptions by the orthodontists and lay persons. The nasolabial angle, interlabial gap, lower lip to e-line and chin prominence were significant soft tissue cephalometric measurements along with a few hard tissue measurements that are U1/SN, U1-L1, U1-AP and L1-AP. Both the orthodontists and lay persons had an overall positive influence of VAS scores after orthodontic treatment but the orthodontists perceived the changes in the nose and chin more accurately as compared to the lay persons. Conclusion: Cephalometric measurements of nose, lip position, incisor position, and chin morphology were key parameters correlated to facial esthetics and this are more accurately judged by orthodontists.
