In the first part, 45 patients were randomly selected from a patient cohort. Photographs (at NHP) and cephalograms from each patient were taken and assessed in two sessions by two observers. The time between the first and the second session was 5\u00a0weeks. The repeatability of profile measurements on cephalograms compared with standardized photographs of the same patient was determined; in the second part, the repeatability of three superimposing protocols (ie, the soft tissue N\/subnasale line [V-line], the esthetic line [E-line], and a proposed nose best fit line [N-line]) was compared for the reorientation of the cephalogram according to the photographs made at the NHP.<\/jats:p>\n        <\/jats:sec>\n        <jats:sec>\n          <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n          <jats:p>Our results showed that the integration of radiographs and photographs is an objective and reliable method to obtain NHP in lateral cephalograms.

The N-line is a reproducible and stable reference line for the reorientation.
