If you search in the search bar it becomes evident that lots and lots of results come up where lower maxilla is mentioned even when one writes lowermaxilla

If you still think its a mistake that often occurs because inexperienced people confuse stuff then elaborate!

The only time a lower maxilla would be referenced is talking about your mandible, the maxilla is a single bone there is no lower maxilla in anatomy

So the conclusion is phrases like (lower maxilla this lower maxilla that) are the result of people who dont fully get it confusing stuff

Thats what I wanted to get out of this thread

Why did this commenter say midface of doom?

Did he mean the Left guy is recessed?

I just want to make sure I understand correctly thats all

I understand now

In strictly defined human anatomy, there is no such thing as a "lower maxilla." The
maxillarefers exclusively to the upper, fixed jawbone.
However, in common usage, and in some, often older, anatomical texts, the terms are sometimes loosely applied:

• Maxilla (Upper Maxilla): The stationary upper jaw, which includes the hard palate and holds the upper teeth.
• Mandible (Lower Maxilla/Jaw): The movable lower jaw is properly called the mandible, but it is occasionally referred to in older literature or contextually as the "lower maxilla" or "lower jaw" to contrast with the upper.

No, the mandible isn't the lower maxilla.

By your definition, supraorbitals don't exist either because it's just a part of frontal bone.

Or infraorbitals being a part of maxilla.

Terminologies exist to define certain regions on one bone, they don't necessarily have to be a separate bone.

If growth can be seen in one region but not the other, then it's necessary that we use different terms for clarification.

a.

The "bite" part (that causes underbite upon not being developed) and below the nasal aperture projection, is the "lower maxilla".

The counterpart is the upper maxilla (which we see from the nasal aperture projection) that doesn't cause underbite upon being recessed, like in East Asians.

 

[Deleted member 285068]

No, the mandible isn't the lower maxilla.

So I was right

My original belief was its A, so it’s confirmed
