Facial aesthetics has always been a complex and subjective concept. The overall facial harmony, along with lip protrusion, which is often a focus for orthodontists, requires evaluation from multiple perspectives. The viewing angle also influences the assessment of facial aesthetics, particularly the judgment of lip protrusion. This study aims to explore the differences in facial fixation patterns and aesthetic evaluations among different populations at specific viewing angles by using digital models to simulate various perspectives.
In the analysis of facial aesthetics, the 45° profile has a unique advantage in evaluating lip protrusion, zygomatic fullness, and contour curve. Compared to the frontal view, this angle provides a more three-dimensional and deeper perspective. In a previous study, the research group found that the shape of the midface area at 45° influences the evaluation of lip protrusion. In this study, a digital model was used to simulate the protrusion of different midface areas in order to explore the differences in facial fixation patterns and aesthetic evaluations among various individuals at 45°. Based on data from individuals who showed significant improvement in frontal and profile beauty before and after clinical treatment, the study added an evaluation of beauty and lip position from the 45° profile. This aims to provide a reference for the subsequent establishment of a 45° profile analysis.

Total fixation duration of area of interest
The facial images used as stimulus materials are divided into several regions, with the fixation duration in each area of interest serving as the primary measurement. Changes in fixation duration represent a shift in the focus of attention.
Time frame: The duration of the experiment for each participant does not exceed 10 minutes. A random selection of 10 participants will immediately undergo a repeat experiment after the first round to verify the reliability of the participants.
Eye movement track
The specific patterns of attention shift will be further observed through the changes in eye-tracking trajectories.
Time frame: The duration of the experiment for each participant does not exceed 10 minutes.A random selection of 10 participants will immediately undergo a repeat experiment after the first round to verify the reliability of the participants.
