Forward growth explanation

Forward growth is the frontward development of the maxilla and midface; adequate forward growth yields a defined midface, upright posture, and a healthier airway, while deficient growth reads as recessed.

Forward growth pattern involves multiple "signature" facial traits * Horizontally prominent maxilla. * Horizontal mandible. * Horizontally pointed chin. * Tight submental region. * Increased facial depth, angularity and contrast * Good nose shape. Upward nose tip rotation. * Increased bizygomatic width. * Lower gonial angle. * More prominent cheekbones. * Fuller lips.
