I'm 29 and started mewing 1 year ago. I had the narrow pallet issue you mentioned, my tongue would overlap onto my molars. But for the first few months I would curl my tongue so it would fit in between my teeth and use it's force to push outward against my teeth. 1 year later my tongue fits perfectly between my teeth and I can mew normally. It's become my natural position for my tongue but it took a lot of work and I incorporated chin tucks, abdominal breathing, and weight lifting.
Cool. Similar story with me. I started oil pulling years prior which cleared up inflamed tonsils left over from childhood chronic strep throat and penicillin. My whole throat and neck was all out of place, whole spine too (scoliosis). Been using Yoga Asana and breathing and like you also the weights. Have almost fixed the curve in my spine now too.
It’s an informal term for a kind of myofunctional therapy called “orthotropics”. It’s called Mewing because it was first popularized by a Doctor named Mew.
ive never had this test or information given to me ever. I am 27 years old and never thought of the word tongue tied until i saw that post malone tik tok. You have no idea how relieved i am finding this out today. Thank you for your time sacrificed to give people these keys. I am still a little baffled about how i didnt know this to be honest but i will take this experience to help my body and my mind. I hope everyone finds something they needs from this channel as well, thanks.
I can put my tongue on the roof of my mouth without engaging my neck and I'm not tongue tied but I always thought that I have to press my tongue against as the roof of my mouth as hard as I can to mew correctly. This was an eye opener, Thank you conor and much love for you ❤. You are helping hundreds of thousands with your videos, I just want to say that your work is of someone with grate morals and that we are very thankful for you ❤.
Dr mew discusses how to use saliva and tongue movement to create the suction and make out last all day long without thought or effort. He’s got many graphic examples for people to watch. Highly recommend learning about mewing from dr mew directly but this was great info to start with
Please continue doing videos on oral health. I'm considering getting an ALF appliance soon for my TMJ/migraines and I also hope to expand my palate with it.
I was almost not able to get my tongue in the top of the mouth while the mouth open but I’ve been mewing for a month or so and I can deffo do it now! Also, there’s a difference btw “pushing” your tongue into the roof (wrong) VS. making vacuum as for holding it there.
I wish you would've elaborated regarding the "misleading" part. If you're speaking about social media gurus on YT or Tic-Toc making bold claims, then, sure, I 💯 agree. If you're speaking about qualified professionals like, Mike and John Mew of Orthotropics, then that's a whole other issue, which I "may" take issues with.
Good ask for clarification - it's mostly the TikTok Gurus who unfortunately shout the loudest about this stuff. From what I've seen, Mew himself is pretty sharp.
Mike and John or Chriss Farrel are pioneers , like me , in the orthodontic world. We have to deal with a lot of resistance. That is alway's with pioneers. You have to thing out of the box. That is something the academic world not happy with.
The reason why it doesn’t work for many is because theyre hard mewing which is applying too much pressure to the palate. The tongue has to gently rest on the palate. When you hard mew you dont allow the muscles to relax and activate the different groups of muscle in alternating fashion. Mewing simply balances the muscles that’s why it corrects posture issues and malocclusion
Over 50, I have seen changes to my face too. 🙂 But I didn't mew. I just placed the tongue up onto the roof to breath better. Even doing that I can see changes.
Any remedies or UA-cam videos you’d care to share for someone with chronic sinusitis? My girlfriend would love to be able to breath normal and nose breath again without nose strips keeping her nasal passages open
What about the Hyoid bone? I can see bad diet as a kid, sinus problems leads to inability to mew, or mouth breathing leads to tongue tied. Fascinating!
Hey conor, what do you think about uneven tongue strength? Right side of the tongue is stronger and pushes up against the palate whereas the left side barely even tries to touch the palate. It gives me asymmetrical maxilla and hence an asymmetrical face. Any ideas on how to correct this?
I have had jaw and neck pain for many many years. I feel my tongue does rest entirely on my palate but I have to force it. When I open my mouth and try to touch the tip of my tongue to the roof of my mouth, it closes a bit. I do feel the front of my neck muscle engage. I was told in the past by a Chiro that my head is forward a few degrees. Living with pain has changed my entire life. Can I fix this? Thanks, Mel
I am 23M and i expanded my narrow palate by making my tongue as compact as possible and forcing it on my palate between the teeth the best i could and with time i can now succion hold without the struggle of the early months. I dont know if i would recommend to people to do the same as i think there could be issues depending on the situation but it is possible.
I did the exact same thing. I started at age 29, I'm 30 now. And the mewing suction hold is now my natural tongue position. my tongue no longer overlaps onto my teeth.
Very few individuals have symmetrical faces. Those that do look hideous. You can see what you look like by taking a selfie, cut half of the photo off, then flip a copy of the face and attach it to the other half. Assymetry makes everyone unique.
@@morrisboris6877 No, you're just being nice, it's well documented that people with asymmetries have a harder time finding a partner. He needs to find his symmetry from the inside...
Your tongue is not supposed to be behind the front teeth, that's the hard palate that cannot change, behind the front teeth there is a soft palate that CAN morph and change. Tongue =back roof of the mind [the soft area]
The only thing I want to change with the mewing technique is to heal my distal bite. I don't care about having good cheekbones or square face. I simply want a normal facial profile. Sadly that's the only thing I found that can improve my bite.
Resting the tongue on the palate/roof of mouth? Oxymoron, no? Resting mean being in a relaxed state, often mean being prostrate. You need to apply pressure to move and keep the tongue on the palate. Oxymoron.
No, the natural resting position of the tongue is against the roof of the mouth. If you've been doing it wrong your whole life it will feel forced/pressured to keep it like that. My tongue is naturally touching the palate at all times and it feels relaxed and restful to me.
this is all some weird scam, by creating suction using tongue, it only feels that there is upwards pressure. In reality there is not. You have to be able to push your tongue into the top of your mouth. I doubt that anybody can do it unconsciously.
@@honduraspependrek6678just keep doing the pushing for a long time and build the strength, then the suction will start. After a long time it will feel natural.
tbh we have been trying to pretend that such things dont matter for a long time, social media just uncovers that, in a way that seeems bad, but in the mid to long term it will lead to both surgeries and therapies that prevent or fix all these issues, alot of u suffer from insecurity now, but in 100 years everyone will be beautifull as fuck thanks to this, its progress at the end of the day
It's not an insecurity you are just ignorant. It's a health issue. It just so happens that health=beauty so that's means people look like mouth breathers, if they mouth breathe. Not an insecurity, just the objective reality.
@@nevin8604 you’re the one who is coming off as poorly educated on this subject. There’s no scientific evidence for this to work. No board certified physician would ever prescribe this. Garbage like this takes advantage of gullible and poorly educated people like you.

it takes months to years of consistency for it to feel natural. Some people mew naturally from birth. Others start later in life and achieve it after lots of consistent hard work
How about mewing while training your whole body in multiple disciplines including your neck which also has a big effect on your jaw. The problem is people are looking for the one thing they can do with minimal effort to fix all their fucking problems 😂😂😂😂
as a natural mewer - i can tell you this is ridiculous, when i researched what mewing is i discovered i have been mewing all my life, and i dont have a square jaw.
Ridiculous maybe for you. Have you talked to the specialist? You may have different problem with your jaw, it’s not always due to lack of mewing but lack of it can contribute. My orthodontist have actually diagnosed me with exactly what this video talks about. So because you have problems with your jaw and you mew, it doesn’t mean mewing is ridiculous and does not help.

Agree
Wise 🦉
what exactly u mean? Learning to fit the brain ?
Mewing is beneficial to the brain anyway. What you on about?
how do you want to have a nice brain if you can't breath or sleep properly ? stupid
Always on point, thanks doc!

You have bad posture buddy. Don't blame it on tongue tie

Ive found what is better than mewing is fixing sinus problems and clearing noae airways to nose breath effortless, did much more for me
