Correlation of lip length and thickness with malocclusion: a cephalometric study

The length and thickness of the upper and lower lips are critical parameters that must be considered during orthodontic assessment. This is because skeletal deformities can sometimes be masked by well-developed soft tissue coverage. In our study wecorrelate the relationship between soft tissues and skeletal patterns by measuring the length and thickness of the upper and lower lips in Iraqi adults, and relating these measurements to skeletal Class I, Class II, and Class III
