I have a question. Do well-erupted wisdom teeth (all 4 ) mean good forward growth? I have all 4 wisdom teeth well erupted and I even have space after those teeth. But I have a small dorsal hump on my nose. I was watching William Hangs video who is an orthotropist. He said that the reason of dorsal hump is because the cartilage is pulled back because of the not enough forward maxilla but I have a lot of space for my wisdom teeth so my maxilla needs to bee forward enough. I'm confused.... Here is my side profile. So do I have good forward growth or bad one? I'm including pictures of my side profile (nobody in my family has a dorsal hump)

I'm not sure if there is a relationship between wisdom teeth and maxilla like that, although I could be wrong. I have mediocre/poor forward maxilla growth and yet I have all 4 wisdom teeth without crowding. I also have quite a narrow palate, and a dorsal hump (more pronounced than yours).

In my opinion dorsal hump is not related to your maxilla but the wisdom teeth are. If you have all 4 wisdomt teeth out + no crowding that means you had your tongue in the right position all the time and you maxilla is enough forward that you have space for wisdom teeth. Tongue is making room for your teeth + wisdom teeth. If you have both your maxilla is well developed.

Honestly I think I'm just weird in some regards. I was a mouth breather for some years of childhood and most definitely did not have the correct tongue posture, I've only been learning about that recently. I have a reasonably narrow palate - my tongue fits up there but is a little squished at the back teeth. Yet when I smile, I see ten teeth on the upper row, which isn't bad. I guess if I'd adopted proper tongue posture as a kid I would have had a good wide palate. I have no idea why my wisdom teeth didn't cause crowding - when I had veneers done a few years ago, the dentist said my spacing on the top row was absolutely perfect.
To look at me, you'd say I was an ideal candidate for counterclockwise rotation. High nasolabial angle, poor forward growth, moderate overbite with lower jaw slightly recessed. I have quite a long mandible but it is too steep.
I often wonder if my face is the product of my tongue habits when I was a kid - although I used to mouth breathe, which accounts for the jaw growing south, I also used to push up on my palate quite obsessively throughout the day. I'd make suction motions back and forth, prod and caress the palate with the tip etc. Maybe all this obsessive upward prodding gave me my very large, high cheekbones - nobody else in the family has them quite so large.
