why maxilla is LAW

[layovv]

recessed maxilla:

• nose looks bigger or bumpier
• flat or recessed cheekbones
• hollow under eyes infraorbitals weak
• longer midface look
• less forward facial projection
• nasolabial folds deeper
• thinner looking upper lip support
• philtrum looks longer
• mouth sits slightly back

jaw / bite

• overbite or class ii bite common
• lower jaw looks recessed even if it normal
• chin can look weak
• teeth crowding or narrow palate

airway / breathing

• smaller nasal airway
• mouth breathing more likely
• higher chance of snoring or sleep apnea

eye area

• less lower eyelid support
• tired hollow eye look

side profile

• convex profile nose sticks out more compared to face
• weak midface slope

Guide to “fixing” it:

mild cases

• orthodontics sometimes
• palate expanders if the maxilla narrow
• braces to fix bite
• fillers for cheeks or under eyes just cosmetic

actual skeletal recession

only real fix is orthognathic surgery
main one

• le fort i osteotomy → surgeons cut the maxilla move it forward and fix with plates

sometimes combined with

• palatal expansion surgery if upper jaw too narrow
• double jaw surgery if lower jaw also off

growing kids / teens use

• facemask protraction
• rapid palatal expander

once growth done
bone position basically only changed with surgery
fix your midface otherwise it’s OVER

Good thread but quite fucking obvious

I swear we all agreed that maxilla was the most important part already

what if my maxilla is developed horizontally but underdeveloped vertically and only slightly forwardly.

For instance when I talk my teeth don't show, I have the typical short face syndrome. it looks normal when I jutt my jaw but still

I'm 16.

So if I were to get a lefort, my undereye support would be better?
