Write the numbers - in ascending order - from the least attractive to the most attractive.

http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1806-83242015000100230&script=sci_arttext
In a nutshell:
These are the silhouettes of representative patients who were at growing age and who presented either protrusion, retrusion or normal position of the maxilla. These patients initially suffered from Class II malocclussion and were treated with the use of some special appliance. The aim of the study was to compare the perception of the profile aesthetics pre/post-treatment from the viewpoint of laypersons.
Three groups (with corresponding silhouettes included):
Patients with maxillary protrusion (SNA >84°):
5.) - Pre-treatment
1.) - Post-Treatment
Patients with normally positioned maxilla (SNA 80-84°):
2.) - Pre-treatment
3.) - Post-treatment
Patients with maxillary retrusion (SNA <80°):
4-) - Pre-treatment
6.) - Post-treatment
Other info:
- Patients from all the groups exhibited more maxillary retrusion after the treatment than before
- Patients from the groups with maxillary protrusion and normally positioned maxilla were rated higher after the treatment than before
- The mean of the highest rating (from the best rating to the worst rating)*:
- I.) post-treatment patients with maxillary protrusion
- II.) pre-treatment patients with maxillary retrusion
- III.) post-treatment patients with normal maxilla
- IV.) post-treatment patients with maxillary retrusion
- V.) pre-treatment patients with maxillary protrusion
- VI.) pre-treatment patients with normal maxilla
*Laypersons rated on the scale from 0 - 7 (from the least to the most attractive)
Now, compare your rating with the averaged rating from the 200 lay evaluators and check the profiles and their corresponding skeletal discrepancy.
We can clearly see the harmony is way more important than the position of the maxilla and the rating from the users basically confirm this.
