From the following website:
Prognathism describes a projection of the jaws. Prognathous individuals also have their mouth and lips pushed forward. The shape of the lower part of the nose is altered as well. Measuring prognathism is relatively complex, and various methods have been devised (e.g. the basion-prosthion length). Most early Hominids were prognathous. The continuous reduction of jaw size probably brought advantages in that the extra off-center weight of a protrusive jaw impedes rapid turning of the head. Several tropical populations still show significant prognathism today, especially in Africa and Australia. This led some early anthropologists to describe Africans as more "primitive" compared to Europeans, who show prognathism in fewer cases. However, this would be a hasty conclusion without considering that Europeans show higher frequencies of other "primitive" traits like strong male body hair and pronounced supraorbital arches. Individuals with absence of prognathism are usually defined as orthognathous (there exist a few more detailed distinctions as well that are not considered here).
How to know if your bimaxilliary prognathism is of concern?

How to know if your bimaxilliary prognathism is of concern?
- If your lips and jaw is further out than your nose (the more further out, the worse).
- The lower maxilla, lips and mandible are jutted beyond the forehead
Solutions
- Bimaxilliary Surgery (Bimax)
- Please do your own research and understand your flaws deeply, and ideal advancements before doing this. Also, run simulations and create plans with your surgeon if possible. Don't fuck yourself up.
- Mewing won't fix anything. One would have to modify their maxilla's shape, not position.
