It turns out that sucking your thumb regularly is very useful for preserving youth and beauty. Candidate of medical sciences, dentist and orthodontist Anna Kalinina told socialbites.ca about this.
“You can get rid of double chin in different ways, but the simplest and at the same time effective one has been known to us since childhood. You need to take the thumb of your right or left hand into your mouth, put it against your palate and block it from below with your tongue. “After that, start making intense sucking movements by focusing on the hyoid muscles,” he said.
Anna added that such exercises should be performed in one approach at least 20-30 times a day. And it is best to do this in front of a mirror to watch how the same hyoid muscles tighten and the oval of the face becomes more and more pronounced.
“This exercise is completely safe for the teeth and oral cavity. It has only a beneficial effect by strengthening the tone of the orbicularis oris and sublingual muscles. It is also indicated to correct the posterior position of the lower jaw,” explained Kalinina.
The orthodontist emphasized that this exercise can be done by both women and men who dream of a clear, oval face. It’s like a gym, if we pump up our arms, muscles will grow in both women and men – the same principle works here.
“Missing teeth, malocclusion and other oral problems significantly reduce the effectiveness of this exercise. “For this reason, I also recommend you to pay attention to your smile,” he added.
Anna explained that any problems with teeth and bite negatively affect the appearance, the youth angle becomes wider, that is, the chin appears, the collection fold and nasolabial folds become more pronounced. And no matter how various exercises and cosmetic procedures you do to neutralize them, they will not go away until you heal all your teeth and put them in their place.
