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

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
