Is my lower jaw recessed?

[Deleted member 8616]

I noticed that my lower lip is way more forward than my chin. How bad is the recession? From the front my jaw seems square.

My father has forward growth and my sister too, my other sister and my mother have no recession. Unlikely I got this from genetics. I think I got it from a retarted sucking habit I have where I basically fold my tongue and suck the tip of it in the inside of my mouth. I used to suck my tongue as a kid but they put a machine thing in my mouth to make me stop so I developed the other technique.

My bite is fine and I never needed orthodontic work. I've also always mewed without knowing.

 

[Entschuldigung]

YES but not a lot

I'm 17, any chance it will fix itself? Should I do anything about it or not worth it?

Doesnt have to come in front of the lips. Biggest misconception here.

I doubt that works. So am I recessed in your opinion or not?

Take a pic of your side profile in Frankfurt Plane, then measure the naison straight down in a 90 degree angle. If you're chin is ahead of that you're good.

I would say no because your labiomental isn't recessed

Number 3 is what Im talking about

Indeed. I see many chins (like mine) that are very forward projected but slightly behind the lips. It's not the chin that's recessed, it's the lips being protruded forward. Almost all guys with good forward growth have chin at or slightly behind lips.

So i can look recessed but not actually be? My lips do the same thing as sean o pry but his bones are thick af to compensate.

Overall yes because mandible is bad and there is no ramus visibilty. I'd say that is a 3.5/10 side profile. Average considering the average man is recessed.

Even the naison thing isn't very accurate. Best results I've tried is facial Convexity Angle. Here is example of chico who fails naison test.

For me naison test doesn't work because my mouth is ahead of my naison. My chin is past my glebella tho, so that's how I know I have projected chin.

Based on what I can see I would say he isn't recessed. Just slightly recessed chin but maxilla looks forward grown. However I'll need to see full side profile with brow ridge and naison to be accurate.

I have high standards for side profile tbh

My mistake this is brow ridge test, naison is the point below that

Your not recessed, look at your cheek line.

The only way for you to be recessed with a forward cheek line, would be by having an underbite, but you said your bite is normal.

Wait till 24. Get some supplements. You can check some threads, and workout. You might gain more bonemass in mandible. You can loose fat too.

I'm probably 15% BF, I can see my 6pack when dragging the lower abdominal fat down and I have a defined four pack. I lift weights and such, lets see!

First option but with no sugar/oil/ less salt
Eat more meat, milk, veggies, greens and water
Be active
Chew alot

 

[beyourself]

i wouldn't even consider that a recession tbh, but its suboptimal one way or another​

zero chance for that

@brainded @DatGuyYouLike @NordicIranian not that anyone cares but I've got an update that may be useful info for other people. Ok so basically I had taken an xray of my skull to make sure my wisdom teeth are ok so my dentist would know for sure if I have recession. I went to his office today and asked him about it and he said that I have no recession but my oral habbit likely resulted in the overdevelopment of my upper jaw, hence the uneven lips.
