Introduction: The horizontal position of upper and lower lips has been of great concern when planning a treatment plan of an orthodontic patient, because the purpose of orthodontic treatment is to establish both an aesthetic facial profile and a functional occlusion. Objectives: To determine differences in anteroposterior lip position in different skeletal malocclusions in district Solan population and to compare these values with those of Sudanese population. Materials and Method: Pre-treatment lateral cephalogram of 114 subjects were taken in natural head position. The subjects were then divided into 3 groups on the basis of ANB angle. 5 reference lines (Steiner, Burstone, Sushner, Holdway, and Ricketts) were traced and their linear distance w.r.t upper and lower lips were measured for all the 3 groups. Then the results were compared to the distance of upper and lower lips from S1, .. Read More»
