    This channel is part of the International Association of Facial Growth Guidance. A nonprofit organisation which aims to raise awareness of alternative orthodontic methods and ideas, which too few people are informed of.
    The main aim of the platform is to precipitate debate on why teeth are crooked. Most people are not aware that (in most cases) the dental profession has little or no idea why the teeth are crooked, or for that matter why children need major surgery. Clearly there are genetic issues, however the science is clear, the weight of quality research papers, in respected peer reviewed journals, show that our modern lifestyle is a more important factor and most importantly we can do something about this.
    This is especially important as sleep apnoea, TMD, forward head posture and a most otolaryngology problems are implicated as other symptoms of the same underlying problem.

    So I always had a (weird) fear of being kidnapped because if they duct taped my mouth, I couldn't breathe and would die. I have been a lifelong mouth-breather. I tried the tape method for sleeping and surprised myself by not dying and now I know that I CAN survive by breathing just through my nose. Also, after a couple of months, I subconsciously now keep my lips sealed during the day, and my tongue against the roof. I have not noticed the beautification part, but then again, I am 61. Amazing info! I am happy to have found a technique that seems to have changed the actual mechanics of my facial bone structure. Thank you Dr. Mike.

    Thank you so much for your work! You geeeniiusss! I'm 43 and just by being aware of where my tongue is and keeping it in the right place, and lips closed of course, I have achieved great results in just a month or so.. I have always had an atypical deglutition, pushing my teeth forward ( i have an overbite)..plus sleeping with my mouth open. Now I have already gained the habit and I wake up with lips closed and tongue in place. Also my wrinkles on the top of my mouth and nasolabial folds are softer, my lips fuller, my jaw stronger and more forward. I write this to encourage also older people to believe in the great results that they can achieve with mewing. I can't wait to see my face a year from now. Thank you Thank you Thank you. This is an issue I had all my life and no one ever managed to either fix it or even give me directions to improve it. Cheers!! All the best

    • @wackity.7879

      Comments like this worry me because at 43 progress is VERY slow. Most facial changes happen before 16. The consensus that most change has to happen before 25. The arguement after puberty that any (SMALL) changes would take 5 to 10 years. When people leave comments like this it makes me worry people are using this for purposes beyond its limits. At a certain point it can't change everything.

    I’ve slept with my mouth open snoring my whole life. I’m 33, I started mouth taping a few months ago to force myself to nose breath. Ever since it has completely changed my sleep. I go into deep sleeps now and wake up feeling more rested then ever in my life. I’m just annoyed that mouth breathing was naturally normal my whole life. I definitely have poor jawline development and overall facial structure. I’ve started mewing recently as well. I realize structural change at an older age is much more difficult but damnt I’m gonna try.

    I have an identical twin sister who has less symptoms of craniofacial distrophy. I drew and painted a lot growing up (still do) which probably meant I was looking down at paper a lot more than my twin. My teeth were more crooked and I have dimples (which I believe is due to the muscles being shorter than the bones which had probably lengthened) but my sister has better teeth and barely there dimples. I then had braces (RIP) and my twin did not. I have a gummy smile which I hate and my sister does not. I would love a consultation with you mike, I have completed the form on your website and recognise you’re very busy. Two identical twin girls (21 years old) who have different severities of craniofacial distrophy would be an interesting case study. Thanks for everything.

    thank you, excellent video. personally i have used surgical tape to keep my lips closed during the night, in conjunction with stretching my mentalis muscle to improve the issue of lower lip sticking out/rolling forward. you can best stretch by manuall pushing your lower lip into your mouth over your tongue (placed in front of your lower teeth). by lengthening that muscle it is easier to fall into the correct lip posture. it is uncomfortable and harder to sleep in the beginning. then, after a few weeks you will start to keep lips together more without the tape. the "reminder" techniques in this video would be extremely helpful in making the correction. other postural exercises that have also helped me in this way are to avoid sucking on straws or whistling, which are habits that hurt the form of your tongue, cheek and lip muscles

    • @mensb1936
      @mensb1936 4 роки тому

      @@bloxZ yes, over the course of some years all of the above has greatly improved my lips and cheek posture. tape over lips while sleeping is excellent, i almost never breathe through my mouth when sleeping anymore. i think it is also important to learn to sleep on your back with a minimal pillow, this seems to align airways better for natural nasal breathing and keeps your neck and spine in a better position too. i also have less shoulder pain since i quit side sleeping.
      as for lower lip in particular, the mentalis muscle being tight between your lower lip and chin is the great hurdle to correction. use your tongue to push out between your lower lip and chin, while using your hand to hold your lip back. you will feel the intense stretch in that small muscle. this stretch alone will hugely accelerate lip posture correction, but you must also take the behavioral component into account, and learn to keep mouth closed

    Watching these videos, there is much emphasis on causes of 'long faces' with restricted forward growth. In my own case I believe that a number of contributing factors: ie mouth breathing, pets in and passive smoking in childhood home, extractions of ×4 molars before puberty (and x4 wisdom teeth aged 18) have resulted in a recessed maxilla, underdeveloped mandible, small upper palate v-shaped bite and the appearance similar to 'short face growth pattern' - I'm an otherwise healthy individuals who has never suffered from 'hypodontia'. I believe that I was genetically dispositioned to have a shorter mid-face, but that that I received badly formulated practice from a UK registered orthodontist in the mid-eighties.

      @yejiyirenyuqi9572 5 років тому +29

      I agree, sleeping on your back without pillow makes your whole spine straight and it's the only way to mew over night. If you sleep on your side or stomach your cheeks are PRESSING AGAINST THE PILLOW which WILL make your teeth crooked over time for sure, also you literally can't mew with proper tounge posture with pillow pressing your face/cheeks so I agree with you guys, I have no idea where did dr. Mew get this from, this is clearly wrong, sleeping on your back straight with no pillow nakes mewing easier at night and it's the only healthy way to prevent crooked teeth, I believe he's wrong about that, he should adress this.

      He was previously talking about sleep apnea, so I believe the message was directed to people with the particular problem. Generally, I think it is easier to hold the lips sealed when sleeping on the side. Howevee I agree with you that sleeping on the back is quite likely the ideal position for the spine and also maybe mewing in the long run.

    wow. i knew that the maxilla moves up & forwards with mewing but i still had some unanswered questions. that transformation really helped me understand the skeletal change that happens after mewing for a long period. you can clearly tell that the maxilla moves forwards from the change in her nose. you can also see the mandible following along, swinging up. the length of the mandible doesn't seem to have changed much but because it is swung higher than before the chin protrudes and makes the side profile look like a different person.

    Since my childhood I learned to seal my lips by creating a simple air depression in my mouth using my tong (removing air behing the lips by retracting the tip of the tong, which incidentally trigger meewing). No effort to produce from face's muscles.
    Also by night, I just have the cheets covering(/wrapped around) the lower part of my face, under the noze, pressed against my lips like a sleeping ninjaaaa (sleeping on the side).

      @@interestingthings8598 Nope you remove air that is left behing the lips by retractig your tong, wich can't be done without pushing the tong to the roof of your mouth. You can then push toward the palate if you wish, but tong is in place and lips sealed by depression created by the procedure.(So yeah instead of "trigger mewing" I should have say, everything is in place for mewing... well).

    My nose really pees me off, one nasal doesn't seem to be working, and that one gives me a running nose, can get a TINY bit of air in if I really try my best, and my other nasal does the work, and then it switches. (A.K.A. The nasal cycle). Also, I seem to breath more loudly, which annoys other students, myself, and my family. People may think I'm angry, but no, I am not. Been like that for years. Tbh, can't wait for a cure. Hopefully.

    I have a question for Dr. Mike Mew and his response would be much appreciated. I was a mouth breather my whole life, or better said, I was breathing through my mouth since I was an infant. I wasn't breastfed. Now I'm starting to breathe through my nose and keep my lips sealed. I also started to mew harder, on a daily basis. Will this kind of approach (lips sealed, nose breathing, and mewing) fix my facial developmental problems? I'm 28 years old but very dedicated. Will my face and teeth align properly after a few years of hard mewing? Thanks.

    Here's the deal sir - I've been applying my tongue to the roof of my mouth - keeping my lips sealed - and working my jaw often through the day. But as for my teeth touching... no, doesn't happen; Can't happen. I Cannot rest my teeth together upper/lower. I can do Everything else - except that. I'm 100% certain - I have an overbite.
    I believe the whole process (tongue pressing, and lips) is going to help me - but.. I don't know what to do about the overbite.
    In the picture of me there that you see - I am, in fact, dropping my jaw and keeping my lips together. (This was Long before I heard about Orthotropics).

    When I suction my tongue to the roof of my mouth I've noticed it doesn't look similar to the majority of people who video/photo with their mouth when doing it. I think my tongue touches the roof of the mouth but its like the whole tongue covers the depth of the mouth. I'm kind of certain it is correctly in place although because I can block off my airway etc. I've noticed when other people suction their tongue, only the frenlum is the only part I can see covering the depth of the mouth with the rest of the tongue on the roof.
    Is it to do with a narrow palate? Also when I do try to suction my tongue, the tip of the tongue doesn't touch the incisive papilla. Instead it touches the anterior part of the roof of the mouth.
    Thanks if anyone can help me out

    My lower lip didnt change even not a bit.
    I didnt really get it from the vid ,
    You are saying that this excercise will overtime make your lower lip unfolded
    Or
    You are saying that this excercise just
    Will help you maintenly close your lips together ?
    Like, stretching the mentalis muscle will reshape your lips in one way or another.?

    I tried taping my lips and it became very painful for my front upper teeth because the upper lip was pressing against the teeth inwards. It was actually so painful that i got sweaty and felt cold. Maybe the tape was too tight, but the purpose of this message is is that be careful with lip taping. Instead i would just go brute force and force myself to keep my lips closed.

    Funny. I ended up sleeping with closed mouth, tongue sealing the roof of my mouth, after trying to adapt to using a sleep apnea machine with a nose mask. With the nose mask, you need to keep your tongue seal. I stopped using the cpap machine, but the tongue position remained. I've been a bit scared that I created a new problem, but perhaps I lucked into the solution.

    I salute you Sir. Thank you so much for all that you do. Question-I understand that lips are to be naturally shut at night-but what about jaw and teeth position at night. On waking I always find my upper and lower jaw ever so slightly and lightly ajar i.e the bottom of the top front teeth around 3 milimetres from being totally shut=in full contact with lower teeth. Is this ok with the mouth closed while asleep? Or should (ideally) the teeth be totally shut/touching as well (obviously without tension or conscious effort)-well obviously as asleep. Thank you. Also what is your quick opinion on invisalign? Another Salute, Sir! Yes Sir. I was eating while watching this-with good posture and tucked my chin in on swallowing too.
