X ray from 2024. I just turned 17. Ortho won't give me MSE because she says I don't need it and my upper bite is already wider than my lower but I know she just wants to stop me ascending jfl. My wisdom teeth haven't come out and Im still missing some rear molars.
I have braces cuz I have a tooth in the middle of my upper palate. She wouldn't give me a straight answer if she's doing protection or retraction but I don't even know much aboit the topic lowk retarded.
I have extremely poor cheekbone prominence despite being lean enough for visible abs. And chronic eyebags from poor under eye support. So MSE might be the move.
Here's what chatgpt says:
Minor Aesthetic "Faults":
AreaIssueSeverityNotes
Chin projectionSlightly recessedMildChin sits a bit behind ideal line; affects profile balance.
Mandibular angleSlightly obtuse (not sharp)MildGives a softer jawline; more vertical growth pattern.
Neck posturePossible forward head postureModerateCan reduce jawline appearance and hurt side profile.
Midface (maxilla)Possibly neutral or slightly underdevelopedMild (if at all)Hard to judge exactly from the X-ray without tracing, but no obvious forward projection.
Zygos (cheekbones)Not prominent from this scanLowCan’t evaluate fully without soft tissue view.
---
What You Don't Have to Worry About:
No major asymmetries
No big overbite/underbite visible
Nasal bone is straight (good)
Skull and cranial shape look clean
-------///////////-------
I will add pics from 2022 + analysis, separate from the main post to not make confusion yk
My biggest worry is my poor chin projection. What do I do? Pls help.
