Evaluated in the lateral view. In this trait, we evaluate the shape of nasal root from profile view and its connection to forehead and nasal ridge. The trait is divided into three categories: 1. smooth (the nasal root is in plane with forehead profile or there is only a very small depression), 2. slightly depressed, 3. strongly depressed, with a groove (there is a conspicuous concavity between the nose ridge profile and forehead profile, sometimes even a groove).
