The sample was compounded by 60 subjects, being 24 males and 36 females. All of them were Brazilians, leukoderms with natural normal occlusion, presenting four out of the six keys to ANDREWSs occlusion. The natural head position and the true vertical line were used at the moment of the lateral cephalograms and the profile photographs take, these made up the methodology for the study. The Cephalometric soft tissue analysis was performed evaluating the dentoskeletal factors, soft tissue structures, facial lengths, true vertical line projections and the harmony intramandibular, intrajaw and total face. The results demonstrated that the medium values of the studied sample presented differences in relation to the normative values of ARNETT et al. in most of the variables. As facial height when compared, they allowed to conclude that the Americans present larger facial height, straighter facial profile and more prominent nose than the Brazilians, so much in the masculine sex as in the feminine. The masculine sex presents facial height and thickness of the larger soft fabrics than the feminine sex, however, upper lip and inferior less protruded in relation to true vertical line.
