Aim: To assess the dentofacial characteristics of a mystery village of twins in South India. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among of 22 twin pairs (10 monozygotic twins and 12 dizygotic twins). The evaluation was done in terms of height, weight, dentofacial profile, and occlusion status based on anthropometric, photographic, and dental cast analysis. Results: Data obtained upon analysis of anthropometric measurements, photographic data, and dental cast evaluation revealed a set of characteristics peculiar to the twins of this unique village. Conclusion: Twin studies are a fascinating method of research because of their ability to correctly isolate a characteristic and determine its impact, especially in terms of dentofacial characteristics. Clinical significance: Twin research design involving the comparison of variables among monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal) twins is a method by which researchers quantify and classify the contribution of genes and other extraneous factors influencing heredity on the dentofacial complex and dentition.
