Why you should not lean on your fist (schizo theory)

[monecel]

One thing I have been thinking about is the effect leaning on your fist (picture below) has on teeth and jaw development.

One thing that might be possible to develop with consistent pressure under the jaw is a deep bite.

The pressure on each side would most likely make the teeth arrange themselves compactly together, potentially causing alignment issues or contributing to a deep bite:

For those of you who have a deep bite or overbite, did you do this a lot?

Also another theory I have is that leaning next to the mandible angle (picture below) could cause a receded angle, due to the force applied. Leaning on your fist or anything else may cause a recessed jaw.

As far as I am aware there is not much research on this, but it is probably wise to not lean on your fist consistently as it may worsen facial aesthetics.

To note, I have a deep bite, and I used to lean on my fist (on my chin and sides) all the time.

better to avoid, but i doubt there would be any significant long term effects apart from posture issues

Niggas on here believe in thumbpulling, consistent pressure on the jaw over multiple years would most likely have effects too

Leaning on your fist for 10 minutes a day isnt gonna do jack shit of what you proposed. If anything some teeth wear.

Why i am not discussing what 10 hours a day of leaning on your fist will do? well who the fuck leans on their fist for 10 hours a day?

He's not leaning on his jaw here. If anything, it makes my case stronger.
