Key Words	Orthodontics; Mask; Genetics; Culture; Average face
Core Tip	It is important to note that orofacial esthetics are subjective and often lead to discrepancies between patients and medical professionals. During the ongoing pandemic, the increased prevalence of mask-wearing has reduced our ability to evaluate facial attractiveness. The face that many people consider beautiful is the average face with genetic characteristics common to that group. As cultural transitions occur at a faster rate than genetic variation, changes in facial attractiveness are also influenced by cultural differences. It is possible that we are entering an era in which the average face that defines what is beautiful is determined by the internet.
