Study Notes
Face Profiles Overview
- Basic linear forms include convex, concave, and vertical/balanced profiles.
Convex Profile
- Most common facial profile.
- Characterized by a receding forehead and chin positioned behind the upper lip.
Concave Profile
- Least common type of facial profile.
- Features a protruding forehead and chin that extends beyond the plane of the upper lip.
Vertical/Balanced Profile
- Displays a harmonious alignment where the chin, forehead, and upper lip project equally towards an imaginary line.
Combinations of Basic Forms
- There are six combination profiles derived from the three basic forms:
- Convex-concave
- Convex-vertical
- Concave-vertical
- Concave-convex
- Vertical-convex
- Vertical-concave
Specific Combinations
- Convex-concave: Forehead recedes, chin protrudes beyond the upper lip.
- Vertical-concave: Forehead and eyebrows align with an imaginary line, chin protrudes beyond the superior mucous membrane.
- Concave-vertical: Protruding forehead, equal projection of upper lip and chin to an imaginary vertical line.
- Concave-convex: Protruding forehead with a receding chin from the upper lip plane.
- Vertical-convex: Equal projection of forehead and eyebrows toward a line, with lesser recession of chin compared to the superior mucous membrane.
- Convex-vertical: Receding forehead with chin and upper lip projecting equally to an imaginary vertical line.
