Don’t know if this got discussed here before but I just realized this the other night when I was out with my friends. Two of them sat close to each other and I could see both their side profiles. Neither of them is recessed or downward grown.
I fact both have a gonial angle similar to Chico’s (probably around 120 degree) and a compact midface.
But still one of them looks much more forward grown. And the reason for that is that his mandible bone/lower jaw bone is just longer than the one of my other friend.
Basically what that means is that the potential of your forward growth depends completely on the genetics of your bone size and not just ideal environment (nose breathing, mewing etc).
Picture example:
both mandibles have the same gonial angle but still one looks more forward grown because of the longer bone size.
TLDR: mandible bone length is significant for forward growth potential
