Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the facial profile view perceived as most attractive and whether this attractiveness was influenced in a neutral and smiling face. Methodology: Sixty participants (20 each of laypersons, dentists, and orthodontists) were chosen for the study. Their facial photos were taken along with professional models' with normal occlusion. Participants were asked to rate self and model photos using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) based on attractiveness; select most attractive face by looking at panels with 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° rotated facial photos of neutral and smiling for models and self; select most attractive photo from the combination panels of neutral and smiling photos of self and model. Results: VAS scores by orthodontists for both neutral and smiling faces for both self and model were more or less similar. Dentists and laypersons found smiling photographs more attractive. The 45 angle was perceived most attractive in self and model for both the neutral and smiling categories separately by all three groups. In the combination category, orthodontist perceived the 0° smiling (model) as the most attractive followed by 45° smiling, whereas dentists and laypersons found 45° smiling photographs most attractive. Conclusion: The 45° profile view was most preferred by all three groups when assessing self as well as models. Smiling photographs of both self and model are considered more attractive than neutral photographs.
微笑和面部角度对面部吸引力的影响:外行人、牙医和正畸医生的感知
目的:评估被认为最具吸引力的面部轮廓图,以及这种吸引力是否受到中性和微笑脸的影响。方法:选择60名参与者(非专业人员、牙医和正畸医生各20人)进行研究。他们的面部照片是和正常遮挡的专业模特一起拍摄的。参与者被要求根据吸引力使用视觉模拟量表(VAS)对自己和模特的照片进行评分;通过观察0°、30°、45°、60°和90°旋转的中性和微笑面部照片面板,为模特和自己选择最具吸引力的面部;从自己和模特的中性和微笑照片组合面板中选择最吸引人的照片。结果:正畸医生对中性脸和微笑脸的VAS评分,无论是对自己还是对模特,都或多或少相似。牙医和普通人发现微笑的照片更有吸引力。在中性和微笑两个类别中,所有三组都认为45度角在自我和模型中最具吸引力。在组合类别中,正畸医生认为0°微笑(模特)最具吸引力,其次是45°微笑,而牙医和非专业人士认为45°微笑的照片最具吸引力。结论:在评估自我和模型时,所有三组都最喜欢45°剖面图。自我和模特的微笑照片被认为比中性照片更有吸引力。
