Is it possible to be recessed but no downwards growth?

[ninja583]

I believe I only have maxilla / mandible recession, not downwards growth. Gonial angle is 115 degrees, midface ratio is 1.1, FWHR is 1.9, occlusal plane is very flat, etc. Does this mean that I do not need rotation during lefort?

I am awful and giving advice based purely on scans, but yes I'd say it's absolutely possible to be recessed without having downward growth.

I believe I only have maxilla / mandible recession, not downwards growth. Gonial angle is 115 degrees, midface ratio is 1.1, FWHR is 1.9, occlusal plane is very flat, etc. Does this mean that I do not need rotation during lefort? Or that if I were to try MSE with facemask, I could pull at 0 degrees rather than upwards?

The only way to grow downwards is by mouth breathing and nose breathing with teeth apart. Teeth together is what holds the maxilla up.

Yes, I've seen lots of people with recessed maxillas but low gonial angles, straight mandibles ect

Same here. I think it was the elastics on braces I wore as a kid, since no one in my family is recessed.

Did you mouth breathe or do any braces?
