Intro
Skip if needed. It’s really not important.
If you’ve ever done research on how to fix an overbite, you’ve probably found two orthodontic appliances that are used to help; the twin block and the Herbst. They stimulate condyle growth and are often used in growing patients to fix class II malocclusions (overbite). The twin block can be taken off, while the Herbst is worn all day and is attached in your teeth.

Background Info
There are three layers to your skin;
the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis

The dermis is much thicker layer that contains collagen and elastin. It contains your blood vessels, sweat glands, oil glands, hair follicles, and nerve endings. Ranges from 1.0mm to 1.3mm, which is moderately significant.
The hypodermis is the most variable...

NUMBER 10: MIDFACE RATIO
Ideal: 0.93 - 1.01
- Measured by dividing interpupillary distance by pupil-to-lip distance.
- A compact midface is seen as more youthful and feminine while a longer midface is seen as older and masculine (as it shows a taller skull). You ideally want to be in this ideal range to be male dimorphic, yet still look young.
NUMBER 9: MOUTH WIDTH TO NOSE WIDTH
Ideal: 1.38 - 1.55
- Measured by dividing mouth width by nose width.
- A wide mouth signifies a wide palate which would mean your airways are functioning properly, signaling proper...
