Effect of lip position and orthodontics on aesthetics

Aesthetics is a Greek term meaning the concept of beauty and attractiveness. And beauty is a mental phenomenon, so each patient has a specific concept of beauty, and this fact is what drives one society to believe that thick lips look beautiful, but in another society, thin lips are preferred as a standard of beauty. Factors such as age, gender, race, puberty, educational and cultural level may affect people’s perception of aesthetics. Today, the role of lip positioning and orthodontics in dental treatment is of particular importance. It is interesting to know that some orthodontic treatment solutions, such as removal of the premolar, cause changes in the soft tissues of the patient’s face.
