Digital Assessment of Vertical and Horizontal Esthetic Alignment in Young Adults: A Cross‐Sectional Study

This study provides reference data for natural facial symmetry in young adults, highlighting that minor asymmetries are normal and often esthetically acceptable. Clinicians should focus on harmony with facial flow rather than perfect geometric symmetry. From a clinical perspective, objective digital assessment of vertical and horizontal reference relationships may assist clinicians in selecting appropriate esthetic reference planes during facially driven treatment planning. Rather than defining strict normative values, these findings support an individualized approach that respects natural facial variability.
