How much does hardmaxxing really ascend someones facial structure, both in 2D and 3D perception?
Are the observed gains based on actual structural improvement (forward growth, facial harmony, soft-tissue enhancement) or mostly frauding (lighting etc) and posture changes post-op?
In other words, how much of the “ascension” after surgical or orthodontic work is visible in neutral lighting and expression, and how much is projection / angle-based?
Is there any reliable way to gauge the visual return of each type of procedure (bite correction, bimax, trimax, implants, etc.)?
My case/question:
i’m around mmtn–hmtn depending on conditions.
Good eye area (except for weak infraorbitals caused by flat maxilla/recessed), decent skull overall, but flat midface caused by recessed maxilla / infras + short lower third caused by a Class 1 deep bite - upper front teeth fully cover lowers, but molars are aligned normally.
I'm working with my ortho to get self ligating braces to fix my deepbite (seemingly best solution, made a previous thread discussing that). Once the deep bite is fixed, the lower third should lengthen and balance the facial thirds more evenly.
Question is: does this kind of correction improve midface projection at all, or does it only elongate vertically without changing the z-axis? I am faily sure this will not change anything, and I plan to hardmax.
Since after correction i suspect my maxilla will still be fucked, would bimax or trimax be the only proper route to achieve forward projection and better midface ? And for people with otherwise good features (eye area, skull, hairline, etc.) but a flat midface - would infraorbital or paranasal implants actually correct the appearance of flatness, or do they just add surface area without fixing the underlying structure?
TLDR; DISCUSSION ON HARDMAX RESULTS (HOW MUCH IT CAN ASCEND ) + PERSONAL CASE, HOW MUCH WILL BIMAX / TRIMAX ASCEND IF I HAVE GOOD FEATURES AND GOOD RATIOS OTHER THAN FLAT MAXILLA (also slightly short lower third due to deepbite tbut being corrected with ortho)
Thanks for reading chuds
