The face on the far left to be the most attractive, the one on the right is so-so, and the one in the middle to not be attractive at all.

Dr. Hang uses orthotropic appliances to guide lower facial growth in young patients for a more pleasing facial appearance and improved airway space/correct oral posture, not just straight teeth. It isn't just about creating attractive faces, though. The goal is improved breathing and oral function for health and athletic performance. More attractive results are just a side benefit of guiding growth the way it should have occurred. He also teaches orthodontists how to use the same methods in the mini-residencies he conducts at his practice.<br /><br />www.facefocused.com <br /><br />Dr. Hang is hosting is hosting the 13th International Association for Facial Growth Guidance Symposium in October 2010 in Westlake Village, CA (near Los Angeles). Anyone with an interest in learning more about this subject, but particularly those in the dental and orthodontic professions, is welcome to register. www.iafggsymposium.com for more information. <br /><br />I have no affiliation with Dr. Hang other than as a satisfied parent of a current patient (and I drive 300 miles round trip for my son's office visits, so you better believe I did my homework on this issue).Annahttp://www.againstthegrainblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-46475382895581121442010-06-17T20:19:11.116-07:002010-06-17T20:19:11.116-07:00Thanks Ned.

I appreciate your unique perspectives and thorough analysis, as well as your consistently pertinent contributions to others' comments sections. <br /><br />Your gentle, non-dogmatic tone is a refreshing contrast to the gratuitously high T of many health & fitness bloggers and their readers.<br /><br />Keep on truckin'chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478646068209558795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-31442680378782994732010-06-17T17:56:20.235-07:002010-06-17T17:56:20.235-07:00Btw, those weddings photos are great Chris!Btw, those weddings photos are great Chris!Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-54160800281457501152010-06-17T17:53:30.156-07:002010-06-17T17:53:30.156-07:00Hi Chris.

There is more research on facial attractiveness summarized on their site, and a lot more in the field of evolutionary psychology.<br /><br />Even when researchers control for blemishes and the like (e.g., by "fixing" the original faces before they show them to raters), there is still a high correlation between the number of original faces used in the averaging and perceptions of beauty.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-26184816513850035222010-06-17T17:48:18.567-07:002010-06-17T17:48:18.567-07:00Hi Kindke, thanks.

Perhaps this is simply a function of the blending, but the skin of the computer generated beauties have no blemishes, perspiration-gloss, or wrinkles.<br /><br />I moon-light as a wedding photographer. A woman's face sans wrinkles, zits and sweat-sheen has me working overtime in Photoshop. <br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/cryer/3660549825/in/set-72157620563952296/chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478646068209558795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-71835635200735100942010-06-17T14:13:56.102-07:002010-06-17T14:13:56.102-07:00Theres probably other programs out there but the g...Theres probably other programs out there but the game Dragon Age:Origins has an inbuilt face modifier where you can literally alter every imaginable feature of the face and skull very preciesly in real time.<br /><br />After playing with it for sometime I found some generalisations that made female faces attractive to me, these were.....<br /><br />1) Relatively wide jaw bone compared to width of bottom of chin<br />2) largish eyes<br />3) small rounded nose<br />4) relatively full figured lips.<br />5) slightly pronounced cheek bones<br />6) slightly convex brow<br />7) straight and vivid eyebrows<br />8) skin tone moderately tanned<br /><br />While there are generalisations I think there is also a fair amount of cultural and infancy influenceKindkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841418412425329998noreply@blogger.com
