Abstract
An attractive, flawless smile is our paramount treatment objective in modern orthodontic therapy. Although beauty is a subjective measure as it{u2019}s in the eyes of the beholder in this study some objective means was used to quantify smile aesthetics that falls within attributes of beauty. A sample of 60 photographs of dental and architectural students age 18-28 years were randomly selected from dental and architectural students of Cairo university. Subjects were divided into three different facial types: 20 brachycephalic, 20 dolicocephalic and 20 mesocephalic. Sixty frontal posed photographs were captured by asking subjects to bite lightly and say {u2018}cheee{u2019} to standardize the vertical dimension of the smile. The vertical and horizontal dimensions of the photograph were standardized by plotting four dots on subject forehead two vertical points 2cm away and two horizontal points 2cm away. The photographs transferred to Photoshop to measure facial types on a 1:1 ratio. Every photo is assessed for corridor width and smile consonance; then processed into five photos with variant buccal corridor widths narrow (0-5%), medium (5-10%) and wide (>10), consonant and non consonant smiles
