Key Points

This study aims to investigate the relationship between appearance-related attentional bias and dysmorphic concern in individuals with jaw deformities.
Sixty patients with jaw deformities and 40 age-matched controls completed the Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI).
Eye tracking was conducted while participants viewed photographs of self and others’ faces.
Gaze durations were analyzed across six facial regions (forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, jaw, and chin).
Patients showed significantly higher BICI scores (indicating greater appearance concern) than controls.
During face viewing, patients exhibited prolonged gaze durations on visually salient features.
Correlational analyses revealed a positive association between gaze duration and BICI scores within the patient group.
