A frontal evaluation of the lips could provide important information during a routine clinical evaluation of facial aesthetics. There is a lack of ample evidence in the literature regarding variations in the vermilion height and lip area in various sagittal discrepancies when assessing facial aesthetics. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate and compare the vermilion height and lip area in dentoskeletal Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions.
