This study aimed to evaluate the facial attractiveness in a sample of 30 black individuals for study and classification purposes, according to criteria of Subjective Facial Analysis. Two standardized photographs of the face were taken: front and profile and classified by 50 evaluators: 30 individuals in the sample, 10 orthodontists and 10 laymen with higher education, regarding facial attractiveness: esthetically unpleasant, esthetically acceptable and esthetically pleasant. The evaluators identified the structures responsible for classification as esthetically unpleasant and esthetically pleasant. To assess intra- evaluator (1st and 2nd) it was used Spearman's correlation within each category Kendall concordance coefficient and between 3 categories, the chi-square test and proportions. Most of the sample was classified as esthetically acceptable: front – 53,5% and profile – 54,9%. Structures identified: esthetically unpleasant front: mouth, lips, face; profile: nose, chin, profile; esthetically pleasing front: harmony, face, mouth; profile: profile, harmony, nose. There was a statistically significant correlation between Sample and Laymen in both positions. Orthodontists were in agreement with the Laymen on the front evaluation and discordant on profile especially in the esthetically unpleasant and esthetically acceptable. Based on these results, the evaluation of facial attractiveness by Subjective Facial Analysis proved to be applicable and subjective influence, suggesting that the patient's opinion regarding the facial esthetics should be considered in orthodontic treatment planning.
