de Velasco JG, et al. – The goal of this investigation was to assess and quantify the discrepancies in the esthetic perception of maxillary incisor torque among professionals and between professionals and the general public. Findings revealed that the laypersons (LP) and specialists in dental esthetics (SDE) groups coincided, in contrast to the orthodontists (OR) group, which preferred more protrusive torques and was less tolerant of retroclined maxillary incisors.
