People here think chewing with masseters makes somebody forward grown and good looking but it's a meme.
If that would be true why are lions/cats forward grown despite barely chewing and having small masseters?
The only thing chewing does is aveolar ridge potrusion compared to the rest of the maxilla and a longer ramus.
Forward growth happens cause of the tongue.
Masticatory muscles like masseters, temporalis and medial pyterigoid change the skull in different ways.
Masseters make the lower maxilla potrude more, lengthen the ramus
temporalis makes the anterior cranium longer, eye sockets wider, larger and face wider and shorter
pyteriogoid similiar to masseter
