Do you agree with the claim that long midface is good forward growth genetics of maxilla?
At the age of 15 or so ı had a decent fwhr (1.9 it seems) and a lot of forward growth of maxilla. My nose was small and feminine. By 18 some of that forward growth turned into downward growth - stretching my nose longer and creating so called forseface.
I am now looking back and trying to understand underlying reasons. I have always had long philtrum and hence probably somewhat high arched palate. I think high arched palate was making it hard to rest my tongue at the root of my mouth.
