Is this life fuel for teencels with downward growth/short ramus? His profile was actually death tier. I know the jaw experiences rotation and the ramus can grow rapidly (more so than the body of the mandible) when you’re 17-18, and perhaps later if you’re a “late bloomer” like Gandy.
“The mandible also undergoes rotational change due to the rotation that occurs in the core of the jaw, called internal rotation, and due to surface bone remodelling and alterations in the rate of tooth eruption leading to external rotation (A). The internal rotation essentially consists of rotation around the condyle (matrix rotation, 25%; B)and rotation centred within the body of the mandible (intramatrix rotation, 75%; B). The combination of internal and external rotation results into the overall change in the orientation of the jaw. In majority of the individuals, the core of the mandible, the bone that surrounds the inferior alveolar nerve, rotates during growth in a manner that tends to decrease the mandibular plane (MP) angle (up anteriorly and down posteriorly).”
Riolo ML, et al. An atlas of craniofacial growth. 1974.
“Mandibular growth was found to involve an upward and forward rotation, a result of posterior vertical growth exceeding anterior vertical growth.” — Sharma P, et al. Age Changes of Jaw and Soft Tissue. 2014
Thoughts? I know his stubble frauds somewhat, but his gonial angle changed and ramus lengthened noticeably, but can I get some anecdotes or insight? Has similar growth occurred for you or someone you know?
