Abstract

We investigated the influences of malocclusions and jaw deformities on the smile motion. The subjects consisted of a control group of 20 subjects with normal occlusions and 10 orthodontic patients with jaw deformities. Six measuring markers on the face (upper lip, lower lip, right-and-left angulus oris, right-and-left cheeks) and 3 reference markers on the upper face were placed on the skin. The motion of the measuring markers was detected automatically by the 3 high-speed cameras during smiling phase and analyzed 3 dimensionally by means of the 3-dimension operation analysis software. The head was not stabilized during the measurements and the motion of the head was canceled by the movement of triangle comprised of three reference markers. Measurements were conducted 3 times for each subject and regarded the mean values as the representative values. The results showed that the lower lips for the jaw deformity patients showed larger displacements to the downward and lateral directions compared with the control subjects even though these showed small displacements to the backward. The upper lip, angulus oris, and cheeks showed small displacements as a whole, especially to the upward and lateral directions. The recovery movements after smiling phase for the jaw deformity patients tended to delay compared with the control subjects. Thus, the features of lower face for the jaw deformity patients showed different movements compared with those of the control group. These results suggest that the morphological abnormity might prevent to express the natural smile.
