Can an AI app detect a crooked chin from a selfie?
NCT ID NCT07197359
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study checks whether an artificial intelligence app called Looksmaxxing AI can correctly identify chin asymmetry (a crooked chin) from standard front-facing photos. Researchers will analyze 540 photos from 90 participants and compare the AI's answers to the actual clinical diagnosis. If it works, this could help people in remote areas get an early heads-up about jaw issues without needing an in-person orthodontist visit.

- Active substance
- Looksmaxxing AI facial analysis application
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple, photo-based tool to help detect chin asymmetry early, especially in areas without easy access to orthodontic specialists.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (90 participants) testing only one specific AI app. The AI may not be accurate enough for real-world use, and results may not apply to other populations or conditions.
