Dr CHONG Hui Theng
Dr Chong has special interest in dental and facial aesthetics and have designed a research to quantify facial attractiveness. The study, published by the Angle Orthodontist, reveals some interesting findings about the way people perceive a beautiful facial profile.
What makes a facial profile attractive?
- Protrusive upper and lower lips, were viewed as less esthetically pleasing.
- Extreme protrusion and retrusion in the upper and lower lips were found to be least attractive.
- Facial profile with balance upper and lower lips (class I) was rated to be more beautiful.
- Facial profile with retrusive chin (class II malocclusion) and protrusive chin (class III malocclusion) have significant functional and aesthetic repercussions.
