What causes flat face?

[Funnyunenjoyer1]

I know it's a recessed maxilla, but what specifically causes flat face, is it the zygomatic plane? overall downgrown face?

no shit nigga, but I'm trying to understand the specifics

it's the jaw mostly, rather than the maxilla.

your maxilla can be completely mediocre provided you have a good jaw.

Robert Pattinson serves as a more fitting example for this imo.
The maxilla still holds importance, nonetheless.

yet he still has forwardly grown maxilla, maybe not the best but you can see his zygomatic protrusion that means the maxilla is forwardly grown

Orbital depth, radix projection, nose projection, lip projection, chin and probably more possibly contributing to that look but this mostly

Bro his nasion is 2cm in front of his eyeballs and you are saying he has a mediocre maxilla?

the nasion isn't even part of the maxilla, you can have a completely flat nasion with a great maxilla, that's the norm for africans.

Cavill has both projected nasion and maxilla tbh.
