im not very accurate with the lines because im just roughly sketching them but these are the points i aim for:
basically your first line (nose angle) is your 'base', and the other 2 lines determine which bones need to be moved forward
for gandy, his first line isnt the same as his second line (lower maxilla), and his first line is the same as his third line (mandible). so Gandy would look better with a Lefort 1, but doesnt need BSSO/IMDO/Genio
for meeks, his first line is the same as his second line, so his lower maxilla is not recessed, he doesn't need Lefort 1. But his first line is not the same as the third line, so his mandible is recessed. So Meeks would look better with BSSO/IMDO/Genio
for this guy, his first line does not line up with his second line (lower maxilla) or third line (mandible. Therefore he is a good candidate for Bimax (Lefort 1 + BSSO)
for this guy, hes very forward grown but you can see the angles are not the same, which is why it doesn't look harmonious
this 'line' theory is good because it accounts for head tilt, you don't need to be in frankfurt plane. the relative difference in line angles should be the same regardless of head fraud or not. however, the mouth has to be relaxed, teeth touching - smiling and mouth open make the second and third line invalid
i've noticed that the most natural looking side profiles will have the angles exactly the same
@thecel let me know what your thoughts are on this
