Abstract

Facial soft-tissue profile plays a crucial role in determining facial esthetics and treatment outcomes in orthodontic patients. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the facial soft-tissue profile characteristics using the OCTA criteria among orthodontic patients. A cross- sectional observational study was conducted among 120 patients undergoing orthodontic assessment. Most patients demonstrated balanced facial soft-tissue profiles. Significant variations in lip prominence and nasolabial angle were observed among different malocclusion groups. Thus, data shows that OCTA criteria provide a practical and reliable approach for clinical soft-tissue profile assessment.
