Title: Need profile analysis
Post by: Daltwan on April 10, 2017, 03:40:10 PM: I know for a fact that I have a deviated septum. I think I have a recessed maxilla but I'm not sure and wanted the opinions of some more knowledgeable and unbiased people. Also, any general advice for improving myself would be appreciated.

So an SG and maybe something for your maxilla, depending on the bite and the unknown unknowns from having no ceph to consider.

There's also the hollowing along the infraorbital rim and the position of the zygoma/malar fat pad. I also fixed your hairline and your sloping forehead, the latter two perhaps being just as significant an issue as your mandibular issues (which include the vertical height of your ramus, as well as the sharpness and dimension of your gonion). Also slightly changed philtrum angulation and lip relationships, along with a slight rhino (that wasn't very necessary).

The only way to fix it is CCW bimax.

You're rotating the entire maxillo-mandibular complex counterclockwise, so chin projection increases.

Post by: slysurfz on April 13, 2017, 07:35:28 AM: CCW + Bimax will address the lower third of the face, will need a ceph x-ray to comment on the chin. If you are concerned with cheekbones and orbital rims that might be a different way to address it.

Any airway issue?

I can barely breathe out of my right nostril, pretty sure that because of my deviated septum from when I broke my nose
