What is the best way to spot a recessed maxilla?

What's the best way to spot a recessed maxilla without taking an x-ray? And if you were to have one what's the best way to counter the damage that has been done if you're in your teenage years, e.g. for a 16/17 year old?

Well, if it is, surgery is the only solution after puberty.

Not everyone can just look at a mirror and spot a recessed maxilla, sometimes it's not even recessed if you just "look in the mirror"

Send a photo, it's very easy to determine.

if your cock hasn’t been used on a woman within the last 3 months that’s a good telling your maxilla’s recessed

The midface will look long and flat, but I do admit that's kind of vague and subjective. Some more concrete, objective methods you can use are:

• Check the midface ratio. I'd say under something like 0.95 you could start calling it serious recession. (best method)
• Check for scleral show. It indicates poor eye support from the maxilla/cheekbones. (reliable)
• Check FWHR/cheekbones protrusion, FWHR < 1.8 (sign of maxilla recession but it's not as sure fire)
• Check if you have problems breathing through your nose, or if you have a tendency to mouth breathe (could just be a stuffy nose)
