It could also be that your scleras are showing more simply because your body posture has gotten better, but your maxilla hasn't.





With poor head forwards posture, the head is often rotated slightly upwards in order to compensate the recessed maxilla. But when the whole head is held in an angle in order to artificially move maxilla to a more optimal position, it inevitably results in the upper half of your face being tilted upwards, causing your irises to stay closer to the bottom eye lid when looking towards the horizon. This helps the bottom eyelids to hide the scleras, although not in a good way biologically.


People with good maxillary positions can set their heads directly towards the horizon line (with chin tucked in) and have no scleras show, because their bone structure gives enough support for the eyelids. Even though in reality their forehead and eyes are angled more downwards than those of someone who is compensating for maxilla. Good faces are almost convex-like whereas recessive faces are concaves (or the other way around, however it goes).
