what is the difference between high-set and low-set masseters
*pictures pls because I'm retarded*

afaik, it's only ramus length/slope (eversion/inversion). i don't think "high" or "low" set masseters exist. short ramus and inward gonions give that rounded look.

High-set masseters are closer to the zygo arch while low-set masseters are closer to the mandibular angle (the turning point/transition) between the mandibular body and the ramus

low set would be bigger ramus length and high set would be less

So long ramus= "low set" maseters? Ik this is a bad question but i need to be sure

it's the gonial not masseters.

no worries even i am confused on this topic.

technically, long ramus + everted gonions SHOULD give that low set masseter look (might even work with short ramus since gonions are outward)

however, if the gonions are inward, the masseters are going to incline inward. Combine it with a short ramus, then it'll give that high set masseter look + possible bloated cheeks


but this is all theoretical and im not sure if there are definitive answers to this.
