Manevska I, et al. – A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate to what extent adults perceive deviations from the norm of a balanced profile with normal occlusion as reducing satisfaction with facial appearance and having a psychosocial impact. The findings suggested that deviations from a well-balanced facial profile, and the morphology of the nose and lip, did not increase psychosocial issues to a great extent. It was found that the range of acceptable facial characteristics was evidently much broader than the norms.
