Chin straps must lie flat against which part of the jaw?

Explanation:
Chin straps are meant to rest on a stable, flat surface of the lower jaw so they stay in place and distribute pressure on a bony area. The jaw area provides a solid contact point that won’t easily shift or rub, giving a secure fit. If the strap sits on the cheek, neck, or nose, it can rub, slip, or cause discomfort and breathing interference, which is not acceptable. So the strap must lie flat against the jaw.
