Summary
Face is one of the key features of Physical attractiveness of an individual. Studies have reported face as being the most important component of aesthetic perception of any person.[1] Mouth and eyes are further important components for determining aesthetic value in the face.[2] Since aesthetic consideration is one of the foremost reasons for patients to consider orthodontic treatment, it becomes the job of orthodontist to properly evaluate and understand the factors influencing aesthetics of any person.[3]. The current generation aesthetic values differ from those that were standard a few decades ago. Aesthetic perception is a variable factor and depends on individual and is greatly influenced by their personal experience and social environment, this is one of the reasons why professional opinion regarding evaluation of facial aesthetics may not always coincide with the perception and expectation of patients or lay people
