Methods: 2 Subjects with different gender and a mesoprosopic facial form are selected for taking frontal facial photographs with adequate tooth display upon smiling. Total of 54 photographs are used where the midline is deviated to both sides 0mm to 4mm respectively. In each gender with midline combinations euryprosopic and leptoprosopic facial forms are created. 150 evaluators from the population have to evaluate the photographs and rate the attractiveness of the face on the visual analog scale and also to rate whether the subject requires orthodontic therapy
