To evaluate the perception of orthodontists and laypeople of facial attractiveness during aging in participants with acceptable, untreated occlusion.
Frontal and profile facial photographs of 24 participants (13 male, 11 female) with acceptable, untreated occlusion, taken during adolescence (mean age = 13.3 years) and late adulthood (mean age = 61.2 years) were used. Groups of 30 orthodontists and 30 laypeople scored the facial attractiveness using a scale from 1 (unattractive face) to 10 (very attractive face). Raters indicated the apparent age at T2 and the most and least pleasing facial structures. Three-way analysis of variance was used to assess the influence of sex, age, and rater group on facial attractiveness. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare males and females regarding the apparent age perceived by raters at late adulthood (P < .05).
Mature age was judged with lower scores on facial attractiveness (mean = 5.43) by both groups compared with adolescence (mean = 6.51). Facial attractiveness was not affected by sex. At late adulthood, females were considered younger by both groups of raters, while men were perceived more similar to their actual age. Laypeople were slightly more critical than orthodontists in the assessment of facial attractiveness. Thirty percent of the raters indicated the eyes as the most pleasant region and the chin and nose as the least pleasing structures.
Facial attractiveness slightly decreased from adolescent to mature ages. Women appeared younger than their actual age at late adulthood.
评估在咬合正常且未经治疗的参与者中，正畸医生和外行人对衰老过程中面部吸引力的认知。
使用了24名参与者（13名男性，11名女性）在青春期（平均年龄 = 13.3岁）和成年晚期（平均年龄 = 61.2岁）拍摄的正面和侧面面部照片，这些参与者咬合正常且未经治疗。30名正畸医生和30名外行人组成的小组使用从1（不吸引人的脸）到10（非常吸引人的脸）的量表对面部吸引力进行评分。评分者指出T2时的表观年龄以及最令人愉悦和最不令人愉悦的面部结构。采用三因素方差分析来评估性别、年龄和评分者组对面部吸引力的影响。使用曼-惠特尼检验比较成年晚期评分者所感知的男性和女性的表观年龄（P <.05）。
与青春期（平均 = 6.51）相比，两组在成年晚期对面部吸引力的评分较低（平均 = 5.43）。面部吸引力不受性别的影响。在成年晚期，两组评分者都认为女性看起来更年轻，而男性被认为与实际年龄更接近。在外行人对面部吸引力的评估中，他们比正畸医生稍微更严格一些。30%的评分者指出眼睛是最令人愉悦的区域，而下巴和鼻子是最不令人愉悦的结构。
从青少年到成年晚期，面部吸引力略有下降。成年晚期女性看起来比实际年龄年轻。
