What is the the maxilla :

So what is the maxilla then well, Maxilla (upper jaw) is the second largest bone in the skull after the lower jaw. This is a paired bone. The right and left maxilla form the position of the entire upper jaw. Maxillae are the central bones that protect the contents of the skull from injury. Their meaning is similar to the front of a motorcycle helmet protecting the head. Maxilla acts as a kind of airbag that prevents skull injuries to the front and side, so now that we know what a maxilla is let's move onto the next part.

What makes an attractive maxilla :

If we analyze the faces of attractive people, then we can notice one pattern – they all have a horizontally developed face, or rather, a wide, locaties forward upper jaw, or the so-called maxilla, which is the key to achieving beauty.

The upper jaw (maxilla) greatly affects the attractiveness of your face. It closely goes up to the eye sockets and goes quite deep into the skull. The size, shape and location of maxillae plays a big role in the positioning of your nose, eyes, palate , upper teeth and even your lower jaw, when you realize the great importance of this bone so called maxilla you begin to realize how stupid it is that people only care about aligning the dentition. If you have a severe malocclusion, eyes of different sizes, a deviated nasal septum – this is all a consequence of the displacement of the maxilla. Looking at the following photos, we can see what effect the maxilla has on the position of the cheekbones, eyes and nose.

Since the maxillae go up to the lower part of the eye sockets, then, being in an elevated, forward position, they literally support the eyeballs. That is why, with a horizontally developed face, the eyes look more attractive and lively, and the skin under them is taut and smoothed. At the same time, a vertically developed face with flat, extended downward maxillae makes the eyes sunken and tired. In addition, the pushed back maxilla blocks the anterior and lower jaw extension, often causing crowding around the canines in the lower arch. And the lower jaw pushed back is always an unattractive sagging chin.

When the maxilla is moved forward and upward, it makes the face extremely attractive, due to the raised maxilla, the distance between their upper lip and their nose is small which results in an attractive chin to philtrum ratio , their cheekbones are high, which makes the face developed forward three-dimensional. This explains the unsuccessful effect of facelifts with stretched lips in some people – since the skin and soft tissues of the face cover the structure of the facial bones like a canvas 3D-frame, no matter how hard the plastic surgeon tries, he can create his art only within this given “frame”, which in people with vertically developed, elongated maxillae is flattened, and it is not three-dimensional, like in models.

facial dystrophy

Now let's talk a bit about facial dystrophy and how it's related to the maxilla, The problem of many modern people is facial dystrophy, which, undoubtedly, can be the result of a birth trauma due to non-physiological childbirth, or even an unsuccessful prenatal presentation of the fetus in the womb. But, as studies show, most often the dystrophy of the upper jaw develops in childhood and adolescence. For example, in the photo above, we can see the horizontally developed short and wide face of a ten-year-old boy, who, by the time he is seventeen, has a flattening and extension of the maxilla downward, with the inevitable backward movement of the lower jaw. Why is this happening?

Proper tongue position and physiologically correct swallowing are critical for maxilla development and are established in infancy. Moreover, breastfeeding, or lack thereof, is key in this process. The fact is that sucking is the very first and most important reflex of survival, which is unconditioned, because no one teaches a child this! Five pairs of cranial nerves are responsible for the sucking reflex, and sucking milk from a mother’s breast is a very difficult job for the entire oral apparatus. Nevertheless, it is she who lays the foundation for the correct position of the tongue and the development of the “adult” type of swallowing.
