Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic illustration of the landmarks used in this study. ( A ) Landmarks using the INVIVO6 software (Program A). ( B ) Landmarks using new homemade software (Program S). ( C ) Different lower lip images in the same patient (sample no. 023) according to program type. In Program A, detailed lower lip contour could not be observed. In Program S, contour lines with two tabletops with the same y-axis values were observed. The two most protruding parts could be accurately identified.

Article Snippet: According to the definition in Table , two orthodontists manually digitized six landmarks twice in two-week intervals on the center of the tabletop surrounding the protruded soft tissue points using current commercialized software [Program A (INVIVO6 software, version 6.5.0, Anatomage, San Jose, CA)] and homemade software using the marching cube algorithm (Program S).
