In threading mouth technique, where is the thread anchored?

• A. In the mouth, between the teeth.
• B. Around the ear lobe.
• C. On the forehead.
• D. At the chin.

Answer: (A)

The thread is anchored inside the mouth between the front teeth, which provides a stable point of tension for the technique. By biting down gently, the practitioner keeps the ends fixed so the thread can be twisted and formed into a small loop. This loop catches hairs as it glides across the skin and pulls them out from the follicle. Anchoring in the mouth gives precise control and consistent tension, which is essential for effective threading. Anchoring elsewhere, like the ear, forehead, or chin, wouldn’t provide the same stability and control.
