Bigonial Width

The width of the jaw measured between the two gonial angles — a major driver of a square, masculine lower face.

Bigonial width is the distance between the left and right gonial angles (the corners of the jaw). A wider bigonial width relative to the bizygomatic (cheekbone) width creates the square, masculine lower-face look often associated with Chad-tier ratings; a narrow bigonial width makes the face taper to a point and can look weaker or more V-shaped.

This is a pure bone measurement — masseter (chewing muscle) development can add some width on top of it, but the underlying skeletal width doesn't change in adulthood without surgery.

◇ Frequently Asked Questions

What is ideal bigonial width?

Wide relative to bizygomatic width for a masculine square jaw; narrower widths create a softer, more tapered look.

Can you widen your jaw naturally?

Only marginally, via masseter hypertrophy from chewing/training. The bone width itself is fixed.
