Abstract

BACKGROUND: Facial aesthetics is one of major motivations for seeking orthodontic treatment. However, even for experienced professionals, the impact and extent of incisor and soft tissue changes remain largely empirical. With the application of interdisciplinary approach, we aim to predict the changes of incisor and profile, while identifying significant predictors.
