It’s funny that people compare a deep and long antegonial notch with a straight mandible when an antegonial notch is so much superior

If you have a deep and long antegonial notch (eg: Hexum

)
You jaw will look flared from the front, even if your gonions are neutral.

Think of it like this, if the antegonial is long enough, even if your gonions have a neutral flare (they don’t flare out or inwards) which is most common for men (somewhere between neutral and flared), the gonion is always gonna be further out than the mandible itself, and if you have a long and deep antegonial notch, when you see it from a frontal view, it looks like its flared even if it’s not, because there’s a cutoff where the notch is, the lower part of the ramus before the notch is straight, and then the mandible grows down, and from the front it looks like flared gonions even if they are in actuality, straight.

Agreed, definitely an underrated feature on here. It looks more natural too, people are less likely to suspect surgery. Although I also imagine that it is harder to replicate with implants compared to a straight mandible.

Well its good only if its deep and long, if its just insignificant it doesn’t really matter
