There really does seem to be a correlation between ramus and browridge size

[AutisticBeaner]

Despite that @Alibaba69's thread yesterday didn't seem too sensible to me, the study about browridge size correlating with ramus size and thus also being affected by chewing got me thinking. So I started comparing people's browridge with their ramus irl like the autistic beaner that I am and came to the conclusion that although this correlation is not a direct one, it does seem to exist.

I got a strong browridge, but my ramus is fucked tbh.

Did you mouthbreather bro?

 

[ldar = cope]

Funnily enough, I have moderately strong browridge (like bonesmashed Astro) and long Ramus

I avoided chewing hard things or chewing too long because it exhausted my massetters so easily (subhuman trait)

But this shouldnt break the rule, I see the correlation but Ramus = Temples is better

Never mouth breathed ever.

Since I was a kid I always hated people who mouthbreated for some reason, they made me rage

Fr they look stupid asf always wanted to punch them in the nose and tell them to start breathing like a normal motherfucker.

Even before PSL i hated the look of it

Exactly what I used to think.

I have good browridge and ramus is long as well
Just saying didn't read anything

Both are linked to cranial base. Masticatory muscles don't affect brow ridge development. Case closed

Later studies suggest that mastication doesn't have too big of an effect on supraorbital bridge, and this is what the stress distribution looks like on various different skulls (incisor bite):

Well at least the pressure seems to be above absolute zero...

But surprisingly the skulls with the flatest supraorbital bridges are under the most pressure there, and the skulls with the most portriding bridgest the least.

So it looks like the less portruding the suprorbital bridge, the greater the pressure= greater gains.

So from the looks of it it's a win win situation- the less effective chewing is for your supraorbital bridge, the bigger it already is anyway (wether it be because of cranial base, prenetal/pubertal hormones, etc.)



Anecdote: My broridge has become visibly more portruding after al the months of mastic chewing.

by the way, are we now supposed to chew gum till the end of our lives? i'm assuming the ramus wont get smaller if you stop but the masseter muscle should, right?

Everyone loses bonemass as they get older.

It's the same with muscles.

I haven't read any study on this, but I'm pretty sure that bones will take a long fucking time to atrophy.
