Nowadays aesthetic standards reflect a generalisation of western ones. We propose to outline an aesthetic concept about Ivorian face. A selected jury will have to judge fifty-three Ivorian faces, through photographs and also, we'll make the cephalometric analysis of flabby and osseous tissues. We expect then, to provide orthodontists with basic references whenever they have to establish treatment objectives, for Negro-African, (particularly Ivorian), patients with facial disharmony evaluated according to western norms.
