How to see your palate size

[Mr.cope]

1. Smile
2. Bite your bottom lip while smiling
3. Count the number of teeth you see
Under 8 = subhuman
10 or more = wide
8 = average

Why bite the bottom lip

So you can focus on the top teeth

If you have big teeth then your arch should be wide if it’s not then your palate is narrow

12 if I smile wide, 10 if not?

Brad Pitt is subhuman, guess it's over.

Between 8-10 with normal lighting

I don’t think I have a narrow palate but I think my molars are tilted inwards instead of straight which gives the illusion of a narrow palate, or maybe I’m just coping and my maxilla is truly narrow.

This with less lighting for comparison

Thank god, I was worried that my palate was narrow as fuck, and there is no orthojew who does MSE in my province, jfl.
