I’ve been trying to figure out whether you can spot mandibular recession just by looking at how the upper and lower teeth line up. When the upper incisors (upper teeth) sit far ahead of the lower ones, you get an overjet, but that can come from several things, like a forward maxilla, a recessed mandible, or even tooth angles that creates a fake skeletal look. People with a normal mandible usually have a mild, natural overlap, while people with real mandibular recession tend to show lower incisors that sit consistently behind the uppers in every relaxed position, which makes the gap more stable across expressions. From what I understand, the teeth alone can’t verify recession without a side profile or cephalometric imaging, so I want to know if anyone here has seen cases where bite alignment alone was enough to call it.

the easiest low IQ way to check is if your lips look like fish lips

yeah haha, i was asking if there was any way to determine with only factoring in teeth

Ricketts e line , u measure by go setting a line going from pogonion soft tissue to nose tip, basically your upper lip should be around 3mm or 4mm behind the line and lower lip should be like 2mm behind the line, also there's holdaway H line but in your case u wanna use rickets e line

Got it, so I’d draw a line from my nose tip to my soft tissue pogonion, then check how far my upper and lower lips sit behind it? Thank you for the help.
