Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age group of 18 40 years By 18 years growth of the face ceases and there is no change in the relationship of campers plane to the occlusal plane The upper age limit was restricted to 40 years as at this age a dentition can be expected to remain normal without tooth loss and excessive attrition Straight or orthognathic profile For the ease of the comparison of the angulations Subjects should have regular alignment of teeth without any supra eruption or drifting ie well formed occlusion Subjects should have complete dentition of 24 teeth occlusal plane will be considered from the incisal edges of the upper central incisor to cusps of first molar A minimum of conservative treatment and that must not affect the occlusion plan

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Previous history of orthodontic treatment Congenitally missing or extracted teeth Subjects should not have crowns fixed or removable partial dentures or supernumerary teeth or retained teeth Subjects with deciduous teeth Congenital or acquired defects in the head region Advanced periodontal diseases and associated tooth mobility TMJ disorder

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The expected outcome for the present study would be in dentulous subjects the line drawn from the ala of the nose to the inferior part of the tragus will be relatively parallel to occlusal plane both in lateral cephalogram and lateral profile photograph.Timepoint: Baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
There will be no significant difference found between angle measured on lateral cephalogram and profile photograph as well as no influence of gender on the selection of part of tragus for ala-tragus line.Timepoint: Baseline.
