1. Make a picture from the side while smiling

2. then compare the sagittal position of your front teeth compared to the nasion (image a vertical line from the nasion - nasion line)




results:


if your teeth are at the same lvl wih the nasion line your maxilla is average

if your teeth are beyond the nasion line your maxilla is protruding

if your teeth are behind the nasion line your maxilla is recessed


important things to consider while taking the pics:


its crucial that you have an neutral head postion while u make the pic meaning


no tilting

Quote:Habitual tilting of the head to the left or right side should be avoided.


often people tilt their head up when they take a profile pic which is not legit

example how NOT to do it

also dont hold in the cam in front of you and then just turn your head to the side like this

camera game must be on point aswell - meaning


at the same vertical lvl with your face

at the same sagittal lvl with your face

if the camera angle isnt perfect the results are worthless



besides if your teeth are protruding like this this method obviously wont work
