thirds of the face


Explanation:
The thirds of the face analysed in orthodontics and dentistry seem to have been inspired by da Vinci. See French and English sources below.

"La face se divise en trois étages égaux: étage supérieur, moyen et inférieur"

"Figure 2: Conception de l'égalité entre les trois étages de la face."

http://www.seret-medecine.org/Dimension verticale.htm

"The parameters guiding the facial analysis are the horizontal plane, vertical plane, the relation of thirds of the face, and the strong side versus the weak side"

"As dental implants can prevent bone loss, they also can prevent facial sagging for people who have all or many of their teeth missing. Due to progressive bone loss caused by the missing teeth, the height between the tip of the nose and chin decreases, causing the lower third of the face to collapse."

"Bone resorption is a common consequence in multiple tooth loss and typically leads to sunken cheeks. Choosing dental implants keeps the facial structures intact, particularly in the middle and lower thirds of the face."
