There are many factors that make an appealing smile, and the buccal corridor is one of the most crucial smiling characteristics. Objective: To evaluate the width of buccal corridors in patients with different types of malocclusions seeking orthodontic treatment at tertiary care hospital LUMHS Jamshoro/Hyderabad. Methods: 93 subjects were studied. Patients were asked to smile fully to measure buccal corridor width with a vernier caliper. The buccal corridor was estimated by multiplying the maxillary interproximal width by the inner lip corner distance by 100. They were divided into 5 modes by buccal corridor percentage. i-e: Buccal corridor 2% (wide smile), Buccal corridor 10% (nearly a wide smile), Buccal corridor 15% (mediocre smile), Buccal corridor 22% (nearly a narrow smile), Buccal corridor above 22% (narrow smile). Angle's malocclusion classification classified all patients. Results: The mean age was 19.18. Males were 34.4% and females were 65.6%. With various types of buccal corridors among them, 37 participants were in a class I malocclusion, 43 were in the class II and 13 were in the class III malocclusion. 14 participants belongs to medium narrow buccal corridors (15.1%), 18 belongs to the medium buccal corridors (19.4%), 47 belongs to the medium broad buccal corridors (50.5%), and 14 belongs to broad buccal corridors (15.1%). The results showed that there was no significant association between these two variables having p-value 0.207. Conclusion: Medium broad buccal corridors were seen more frequently in various types of malocclusion
