Cross-Sectional Study on Self-Perception of Dento-Facial Asymmetry [PDF]
MedicinaBackground and Objectives: Facial symmetry is a key component of facial beauty and attractiveness. However, perfect symmetry is rare, and slight asymmetries, also known as natural asymmetries, are common and contribute to the uniqueness of each face. The
