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.
