downward growth

[sensu]

What causes downward growth and is there anyway to fix it/prevent it at 16?

possibly lack of the necessary nutrients for proper craniofacial growth:
k2, calcium, vit d, folate, etc

definitely mouthbreathing. Clear ur nasal airway asap if thats a problem:
buy a mouthtape and tape ur mouth shut at night to prevent unconscious mouthbreathing

also mew. i distinguish between softmew and hardmew. Soft mew is the natural mouth posture where you "rest" your head on your mandibular teeth and tongue. It should feel effortless and even relaxing. Hardmew is when you shove your entire tongue up and forwards on your palate, and its what people usually think of when they hear mewing. Nobody can do this all day, so just do a few sets after each meal and softmew the rest of the time.

downgrowth is one of the foundations of complete SMV destruction. it recedes ur mandible, lengthens the midface, makes the nose droopy, and in some cases the downgrowth of the maxilla creates a sunken eyes effect. You should certainly do everything you can to prevent or reverse it.

So, if I buy k2, calc, vit d and folate supplements, make sure I nose breath + mew, there's a chance I can reverse it?

also works for palate expansion, some user made a detailed guide on it

vit D supplements will be needed
everything else can be obtained from food, the problem is people don't like making and using bone broth :/ . (I find it silly as people are fine with eating muscle and fat, but for some reason literally everything else on the animal body is off limits to them)

As for reversing downgrowth, its not possible at the age of 16. You will however prevent it from getting worse. The only way to reverse downgrowth at your age is orthognathic surgery.

What kind of orthotopic surgery? could a palate expander work?

Nothing. It’s just genetic. “Downward growth” is a misnomer because it’s just the natural shape of the maxilla in some people. The mandible just follows it.

Neither of my parents have downward growth and I do, so I doubt its genetic

that's retarded some people are like half downward grown too clearly not genetic, I think it's more of a premature development issue

what could of caused it?

Your point didn’t counter mine at all lol.

You think there’s a genetic that determines the face independently in two different sides jfl

I believe it could be to do with having improper tooth development as a toddler causing the skull not to grow evenly, I know am example irl

Genes are responsible for every mechanism that controls development. It's literally the body's code. It's amazing how the body constructs itself almost perfectly equally on both sides in most people. It seems entirely likely that one genetic mutation could prevent this unstable process from happening.
