Points 1, 2, 3, 9, and 10 were perpendicular to FHP or to the bony surface. The remaining points were measured as follows: point; 4, the distance between point A and subnasale; 5, the distance between prosthion and labrale superious; 6, the shortest distance between the upper incisor and the attachment points of the upper and lower lip; 7, the distance between infradentale and the vermilion border of the lower lip; 8, the distance between point B and the deepest point of the labiomental crease.
