Profile Balancing: What the Evidence Shows

Written for someone trying to establish what is actually known. What profile balancing means and how it differs from the frontal assessment, how a profile is assessed on a true lateral view, why the subject is discussed more, how profile change is regulated, what the evidence supports, what it does not, how to read a claim, and what the risks and alternatives are.
