A standardized rating scale of dental attractiveness could be used to assist the determination of treatment priority, as a tool in patient counselling when assisting subjects to gain a realistic impression of their relative dental attractiveness, and to generate reproducible measures in various areas of orthodontic research. The development of a simple 10 point rating scale (SCAN) illustrated by representative dental photographs across the range of values, is described. High inter-judge correlations were found for othodontists, parents and children using the scale. Children who underrated their own dental attractiveness also had a low mean score for their general self-esteem.
