Early childhood education for good looks

-

Discovering a child’s aptitude early on and appropriate education for further development, this so-called early childhood education serves as crucial leverage in a child’s life. This is noteworthy as there is such a thing as early childhood education for a beautiful face.  

If you were to ask me what I considered the most important element in terms of the face shape, I would have to say jaw development. The jaw is generally known to consist of the bone under the lips but anatomically, it also includes the teeth. That is to say, the upper jawbone (maxilla) including upper teeth and lower jawbone (mandible) including lower teeth. As there are various areas of development during a child’s growth phase, jawbones also develop concurrently. As jawbones include the teeth, any issues in the development of jawbones will result in occlusion issues of upper and lower teeth.   

It is considered normal occlusion when teeth are straight and upper teeth line up naturally with lower teeth. (See image below)









Conversely, when occlusion is not normal, it is called malocclusion. If the lower jaw develops excessively, upper teeth will not match up with lower teeth. Upper teeth and lower teeth will not line up (edge-to-edge bite) or lower teeth will protrude past upper teeth (crossbite or angle class 3 malocclusion). This would result in a jutting chin.
























Vice versa, if the lower jaw is less developed, upper teeth will cover the lower teeth considerably, making them less visible or even hide them altogether (angle class 2 malocclusion). In which case, the face will be short with a short chin.













If the lower jaw develops differently to the right and left, the jaw will tilt in one direction like a pendulum. The center line of the upper teeth and lower teeth would be crooked. In such case, the face will be tilted in shape with the lower jaw slanting in one direction below the lips.  

Occasionally, it is necessary to pay close attention to a child’s teeth. It is important to examine whether the upper teeth match up with lower teeth when saying ‘eee.’ If they don’t line up properly even slightly or if you can’t tell no matter how much you look at it, you can have it examined by an orthodontist or facial sculpting surgeon like myself.














Malocclusion can be corrected with orthodontic treatment or jaw surgery. Orthodontic treatment can correct malocclusion if not severe but beyond a certain severity, it will require both orthodontic treatment and jaw surgery. Cases of severe malocclusion that also requires surgery requires co-examination by both an orthodontist and facial sculpting surgeon.  

It is ideal to visit an orthodontic clinic for consultation around the time permanent front teeth start coming in. That would be around age 6~7. However, as kids of the same age in the same grade differ in height, vary in growth stage, and develop at varying speed, teeth arrangement development can differ significantly. That being, if permanent front teeth start coming in before the age of 6, that’s when orthodontic consultation is recommended.















This very attentive observation of children’s teeth and face shape, and consulting with experts in a timely manner is essentially early childhood education for a beautiful face.

The laser procedure that you're worried about before the holidays, "If you want it to work, you have to choose according to your symptoms." The fine weather these days is good for a picnic, but the fatigue of the skin increases. This is because the atmosphere is dry and the oil and moisture of the skin is escaping, making it rough and prone to wrinkles, and strong UV rays can irritate the skin, causing freckles and blemishes. This is why laser treatments are popular these days, which can solve skin problems relatively quickly and easily. In fact, more and more inquiries are being made to improve skin and aging problems with laser procedures ahead of the holiday season in early October, which is followed by a series of Chuseok and alternative holidays. The most representative procedure is lifting laser. Lifting laser is a direct examination of high-intensity focused ultrasonography (HIFU) to the peritoneal layer in line with current skin condition, soft tissue and degree o...

What is Faceline’s ASO  (protruded mouth) Surgery? ASO stands for Anterior Segmental Osteotomy and it refers to the state in which a tooth or gum bone comes out and the mouth looking protruded.  -        If the upper lip protrudes more than 10~15 degrees from the vertical reference line of the profile, it can be considered as protruded mouth. -        Usually, when the mouth is protruded, the lips become thick, the smile line wrinkles deepens, and the tip of the chin become round and blunt. -        When smiling, the gums are visible, look older, with a strong looking impression. What is the cause of protruded mouth? -        The tooth itself is protruding type of tooth that is positioned forward.   The position of the gum bone is relatively normal but if only the tooth is protruding, it can be ...

Director Lee Jin-soo's Essay 41 - The Secret of Beautiful Profile Unfamiliar to the General Public (feat: Height Difference of Lips)

 Jaw protrusion refers to a protruding lower jaw that makes the profile resemble a shovel. Typically, when the lower jaw develops, the chin at the end of the lower jaw also develops, resulting in a protruding chin typical of a shovel jaw. The extent of chin protrusion is determined by comparing how much the chin protrudes compared to the lower lip when viewed from the side. Interestingly, when analyzing shovel jaws, you can discover a surprising fact. As mentioned earlier, while there are cases where the chin protrudes significantly, there are also many cases where it does not. It's not always the case that the chin protrudes just because the lower jaw is already developed. Sometimes, it might appear that the chin protrudes due to its position relative to the already protruding lower jaw, but in reality, the chin itself may not protrude more than average. So, how can we determine whether it's a shovel jaw or not, if not solely based on chin development? The answer lies in the a...
