This saved my life. 8 months of mewing, 26 year old. It took me 7 months to be able to get the back o the tongue up on the palate, so I've been properly mewing for about 1 month. I no longer have an overbite. Allergies have gone, asthma gone, can sleep better. I look a hell of a lot better. You are godsend. May you live a long, long life. Thanks a ton, Doc! I can't wait to see the difference in a couple of years, particularly with the angle of the mandible.
@@andjela7847 It may not possible to get the molars touching initially if you have had an overbite, as the tongue will in the way (narrow palate). If you can get the molars touching also whilst mewing, then that is of course, ideal. Press as hard as you can with the tongue on the palate as much as you can, and let the lower jaw (mandible) come forward with the force of the tongue pressing the palate and whatever part of the teet touches, let it touch. In my case, the incisors were the only ones that had contact initially. Gradually, as the palate expands - usually in the order of the front most teeth to the back most teeth, in my experience - the molars will close in eventually, when the tongue fits in perfectly inside the palate. This may take some time, so I think it's alright to keep only the incisors in contact at first - with the force of the tongue, that is.
Dr. Mike Mew, you'll get more attention if you explain it in a simple and complex way. Not just the complex. You are talking to people who were not graduated in odontology. You need to make the solution clear
I think this is not a video for us common mortals, it seems it's for odontologists so that they can see how orthotropic works. But no one will ever change job. Too many money involved
As a non dentist, I understand what he is saying. The trick is to see all the video the mew's are on. I came across Orthotropic a few years ago but did not quite understand how it works. The new videos illustrates the difference between orthodontics and orthotropics. I had ortho treatment done but my incisor relapsed since midway through treatment my retainers broke and I was too afraid to see the orthodontist. I also realised that as a kid my mouth was open and my face elongated when I was 8. I also had partially blocked nose that I did not realise was blocked. If I was to run I found it helped if I breath in through my nose and breath out to my mouth. Like Dr Mew I have always been inquisitive and wondered why my teeth and lips are misaligned. Now I'm going to keep my tongue at the palate, make sure my incisors are aligned and close my mouth at all times.
You are describing my life. Honestly, this is not explained too complexly. I appreciate you for giving detailed and genuine information, so that you can really understand what is happening, as far as you can without a degree. If you don‘t understand all the terminology, then go look it up
I have this and everything you've said is dead on. I don't rest in that overbite position. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it looks horrible. And I do have stiffness and popping in my jaw, especially the left. I can already feel a difference by pressing my tongue on my palate and touching my front teeth together. I'm hoping to make permanent improvements. Thank you so much for this!
But do you still bite with a deep bite or do you force yourself to chew your food with your front teeth? I have the same problem, but i can't seem to understand how people in this situation are supposed to chew properly and i'm worried that its affecting the mewing progress negatively.
Doing this I noticed that that my face is slightly crooked and so I try to chew on my "weaker" side. I think if your bite is even just chew with your molars and make sure you're using your tongue as much as possible and swallowing appropriately. I think if you keep your posture correct as much as possible your teeth will slowly move as your bones do.
@@maxfrickmann it’s slightly different, with a deep bite the bottom and upper jaws are aligned normally until you bite down, which is when the lower jaw is forced backwards in order to bite. This is because there is too much space between the upper and lower molars which means you are unable to bite normally
@@user-pd9xj1bt4e Is it just that or is it actualy a missalignment not of the teeth but of the maxilla and mandible. Meanig the maxilla is overly downroatated and the mandible overly uproatated?
I have deepbite and this video explains the resting position brilliantly. My front teeth are in the position shown in the picture only when chewing or asked to clench, otherwise, they have a normal freeway space. It's the molars which have significanly larger freeway space. Dr. Mew was correct on the Taser thing too.
Same here. I have a very square face and get lots of compliments on jaw line etc but when I clench it feels less natural. If I wear my old retainer (which still fits 11+ years later) it opens my bite up a bit and feels much more natural. I had braces in my early teens but still ended up with a fair bit of deepbite (maybe 60%). Mentioned it to a few very qualified dentists / orthodontists and they all said it was fine and normal but ideally I'd like to knock a few mm off it.
You literally described it so perfectly and correct to a T for my situation, extremely deep overbite, but only when I'm chewing do my teeth actually close that way. My tongue has teeth marks on both sides from my molars. When suctioning my tongue to the roof of my mouth I'm always trying to find what the best position for me teeth would be... clenched down in the deep overbite feels bad, but dangling also doesn't feel right....the struggle! Lol
This video explains my situation exactly. I had braces for 2 years with a Herbst appliance. The orthodontist put in a permanent retainer without even telling me. I felt so betrayed that I ripped it out with pliers. I still don't understand why they couldn't just give me a removable retainer for my lower teeth. My teeth were fine for about 10 years after that until I started grinding them in my sleep. That pushed my lower teeth forward, so I had to move my jaw back to chew, which pushed my lower teeth forward more- it is a vicious cycle. I was considering getting invisalign, but you have changed my mind. The orthodontist ruined my teeth. I still have glue left behind from the braces that prevents my gums from un-receding. Part of my enamel on my front tooth was ripped off while they removed the braces. And the fluoride toothpaste the orthodontist gave me created irreversible divots and white spots on several of my teeth. I have been brushing my teeth with baking soda for the past 10 years and haven't had any cavities. My dentist says my teeth look better than they did years ago, but I suspect that is because I floss daily.
This correctly describes my bite and how I set my jaw at rest. Might be too late for me to change my maxilla with correct oral posture but we will see. I'm 2 months in and seeing significant change in my ability to breathe through my nose and facial and neck musculature. Let's keep going. Thank you Doctor Mew!
I too have an overbite, so when you mew your upper teeth are laying on your tongue correct? Also, is the tip of your tongue touching your front teeth? I’m new to this sorry
@@arjunyogesh6996 No, that is my resting position before I started mewing. Your tongue shouldn't be in contact with your front teeth. There are plenty of mewing videos that can explain better than I can in a reply. Just know that suction holding your tongue to the top of your mouth is very important and try to get the back part of your tongue touching the soft palate.
@@arjunyogesh6996 No, your upper teeth shouldn't be laying on the teeth although the side of your tongue will probably be touching the teeth especially if you have a narrow palette. Your tongue shouldn't be in contact with your front teeth keep that in mind, it should be barely behind your front teeth.
WOW! you just explained my exact situation. I almost spent about 15K earlier this year to have it "corrected." I have watched a few of your vids after discovering your technique earlier today. Seems like I suddenly have options.
Did braces correct it? I have the exact problem. I started mewing like 6 months ago but my molars ain’t touching in resting position. Just my incisors and maybe canines. when I start chewing, my chin comes back
THANK YOU! I was noticing that my jaw slid back to clench my jaw and I had no clue why. This explains everything so clearly. None of my dentists ever pointed out my overbite, but I have a really noticeable one.
orthotropics has seriously improved my deepbite. it hasnt done much to reveal more of my bottom teeth, but it has seriously lifted my midface and therefore balanced my face out alot. i used to rest with my molars apart but now i no longer do. my face looks so much better at rest. thank you dr mew for this video!
Question when you mewed with your overbite did your front teeth touch or your molars? not sure which is better, curious which position you used that helped correct overbite
@@seanmchgaming2941 From what I've gathered when you have an overbite you should focus more on your molars touching rather than your front teeth. If you have your front teeth touching it will look unnatural and elongate your face, because you are jutting your jaw outward and down. Where as if your molars are touching (and tongue on the roof of your mouth) it will be the natural resting position. Overtime you should notice more prominent facial features.
@@siu-gm8iu 15 most likely you can Keep your molars shut together with your tongue at the roof of your mouth The most important is to keep your molars together so very important to NOT keep your teeth apart
cyrusrecycling if, and when I have a child, I’m going to tell him to get in the habit of chewing hard foods and resting his tongue on the top of his hard palate to make sure he doesn’t get crooked teeth and end up with braces that’ll cost a few grand.
Dr. Mew I must say this is the most controversial "bite" of all. :D Unfortunately, I am a typical (cannot be found a better specimen though) class II division two, and every word is fantastically true. However, the only chance to correct my jaw and perhaps teeth is the vast amount of time, hard work and patience. At the end of the video, there is great comfort for the heart (indeed it helps!) in your statement. I only wish I had found this in 2014 when I was was only 29. :) "Better later than never", as they say. Take care, and God Bless You and your Father!
Thank you Doctor for your fantastic explanation on deep bite, now I knew they are actually lateral open bites. Hope to join your course one day and learn from you to treat and save patients in a correct way. From Malaysia :)
Thank you that is what I understood also, I think he means that we should keep mewing and keep both our body and neck posture good in order to better our bite.
YES YES YES!👍👍👍👍👍👍 I'm sure that having Cronic ASTHMA ADDS to underdevelopment of the face and the lower jaw. Just found this and I am inhaling theory and knowledge about mewing. A total deep dive. THANK YOU for SHARING this with us. And it resonates on every level. I actually stopped chewing gum because I was so aware of my overbite and the way I looked. I've also been very aware of the way I look while eating food, so this has kept me from going to parties where we eat food. (I know, it's hillarious) I was born 8weeks early, had asthma my entire life, had severe overbite, 12mm and got braces at age 12. Two teeth were pulled out. Unfortunately my orthodontist committed suicide and I never got any follow up, and the overbite has slowly come back. Specially after an accident where I was bedridden for 1 year, and had to learn how to walk again. For me physical fitness go hand in hand with the way my face changes. I also understand that I became overbite because of my challenge breathing my first years of life. I got a new life when I got good functioning medication at age 10. None told me or parents that it would create havock on my teeth, and I paid with extreme amounts of cavities and traumatic dental treatment in my pre teens and teens. However I've always been aware of good posture, understood early the need of excersise as medication for asthma. This is extremely intersting. I wonder how much it will effect my facial structure at middle age... what if... I have contemplated surgery, but in general I'm pro natural methods as far as possible.🤔 Exciting times ahead, exiting times indeed 🤩🤩
I’ve got a deep bite, a cross bite situation in my molars, an incisor totally out of bite alignment in the front and am gonna share my mewing adventure sometime soon ☺️ I totally believe I can improve the situation greatly even starting at 29 🥳 this was suuuper helpful.
@@xuchilpaba You are right. Best to keep the front teeth together first, if your molars won't be touching. From what I've seen from the progress from different folks, the molars should eventually close in with time. Will take longer though.
CognitiveFuckUp but doesn't that make ones face longer in the the process, if I'm not mistaken the other doctor(the white haired gentleman) said something like that on another video.
@@xuchilpaba Can you please refer me to the video? From my own personal experience, I had an overbite initially, my molars did not touch (still does not), and I have crowded lower front teeth. Over the course of a few months however, the crowd has reduced, and the molars are closer. I have been relentlessly mewing (dedicated days to mewing 24/7, pressing as hard as I can) , and the back of my tongue perfectly fits the palate now, which brings the jaw forward automatically, essentially aligning the teeth together. The overbite has gone, allergies reduced, sleep is better and my face looks noticeably better.
Looking from a perspective of a cosmetologist/esthetician/gym rat/face yoga/body contour’;this changes my life for the better, even telling all my clients, family & friends, just spreading the word so we can all be healthy & beautiful lol. it’s crazy cause mewing is my secret recipe to life but it’s not a secret, it’s a way of life like from breathing, swallowing, eating, etc. even being in bed I feel like I’m super pro cause mewing makes it so much easier & not tiring at all. Even when I wash dishes & mew, it doesn’t feel like a chore anymore😂. I just love mewing & wish I knew about it before I was in my 20’s. I would’ve had my dream chin I thought I would need from surgery. Even my lips are fuller. Mewing is basically keeping your head tilt back, chin tucked into chest with your lips sealed balancing everything, & your teeth aligned & together but not touching, with a strong bite, swallow all the moisture out your teeth, gums & cheek always, swallow the back of your tongue, chest up, pinky’s up always, shoulders back, make sure you’re still biting down hard but don’t force it, toes, elbows, collarbones & knees pointed, keep swallowing, that’s the mewing recipe.
@@bknighttheemo8756 er... Better not do that.. Ur smile would change.. It could affect the appearance a bit. That's what I think. I don't know for sure though.. Sigh.. Why do we have to have this feel. Bite thingy. :( I'm very apericular abt my teeth. So this is annoying. Hehe I have accepted the way it is but sometimes I do feel a bit upset
@ugly hey.. Pls don't say that... U still need to live ur life happy okay!!! Ur not ugly. No one really is. There is always something to be happy about. Somethings we can't change maybe unless we wijn a lottery or something and get surgery done to sort out but why go thru all that pain too hehe. You take care!! 💕
I'm here for knowledge and that "taser" example made me laugh out loud. Good work and thanks for all this info. I have a deep bite(and crooked teeth) and I'm mewing and keeping my back teeth slightly touching. Hope I see some positive changes.
While mewing, i can either keep my front teeth in contact or my back molars but 1 a a time. my question is which one should i keep together? and why so as to fix the overbite and all come in contact?
hey I have an over bite and packed teeth, you were saying that we should focus on our tongue posture and keep our molars together but if I put my molars together, my jaw will set back into th over bite position, should I align my front teeth- it lengthens my face and my molars don't touch but I still have the tongue posture- or align my molars - i'm still in my overbite position and correct tongue posture-. Thank you advance if you respond
hey i have the same problem as you, i have an overbite.. if im in my overbite position my molars touch, and my lower front teeth covered about 1/4 of it. but if i try to make my lower jaw wont match with the upper front teeth, and my molars wont touch too..just feel slight bit of 1 molars on my right mouth.. i have been doing mewing for overbite position for 13 days now. And im going to change the overbite position to front teeth touch, even tho my front teeth cant touch... But if i stay with front teeth touch, my face became more longer, and more good, and not droopy like i did when im in overbite position. How is your overbite condition now??
So Mike, I can see why tongue on roof of mouth will fix the maxilla position and avoid the tongue from keeping the back teeth apart. But should people with deep bite really keep their teeth in contact then?
It's obviously a case-by-case thing, but to answer your question: the first appliance I had to wear fixed my jaw alignment, the second one ( which I'm wearing now ) is working to push my upper incisors forwards just like Dr Mew described in this video.
Thank you so much Doc. I have a deep bite plus two of teeth have come forward like unsymmetrical fangs. My upper front incisor teeth are slightly backwards, and the right outside incisor and the left canine tooth of upper jaw are the teeth that are out. I am hoping all those information you provided will help me for better. Thank you so much again, doctor.
@@faqyhelsam9009 If you have an overbite/overjet like I do, mew with front teeth slightly touching (like. normal bite position), back teeth not touching. Overtime your tongue will push your maxilla forward and upward eliminating the overbite, and your back teeth will finally touch when your mandible moves forward and upward to match your maxilla.
@@faqyhelsam9009 do that if you don't have an overbite/overjet because your front teeth already have more or less a "normal bite". But if you have an overbite/overjet, the only way to have your front teeth lightly touching is to have your back teeth not touching (otherwise you will mew in a deepbite/overbite position). Also when you do that your lips can apply pressure more effectively to push your flared front teeth inwards while the tongue is pushing the maxilla up and forward.
Can Orthotropics fix this problem in people over 30? I started mewing and chewing hard gum about a month ago and I've noticed my lower jaw is trying to be positioned more forward, but there's not room at all due to my retroclined upper incisors. My lower jaw feels totally trapped behind those upper incisors. Dr. Mew is absolutely right. My jaws rest with some freeway space at the back.
I'm in my 20's.from the UK. I have a deep bitE/overbite, and a unilateral crossbite. Based on what you said at the beginning of the vid, I think I have a class 2 division '2' (retroclined incisors). I I feel as though I need my jaws moved forward, as I feel as though the underlying tissue isn't getting enough 'support' resulting in a heavy looking face. Maybe early jowling? Mouth looks to be frowning at rest. I'm not sure if procling my teeth would help with my facual aesthetics? (I'm wondering about damon braces for this). Ideally, I think i'd love double jaw surgery, but I don't think my case is bad enough to warrant it on the NHS
i have a deep bite and i bite my left cheek for free space. i may have used the tongue thingy when i was younger. i have a longish face but the lower third is more or less short. i'm 18. can i be helped by orthotropics?
So how do you fix the overbite? as I’m doing the meewing, also trying to bring my front teeth to alignment but feels unsteady as my back teeth don’t touch when I do this and keeping on getting the fear my bottom teeth will slip in front of my front ones and my jaw will pull back and damage my top front ones, please recommend what specialist I should see for this issue or how to fix it. Because the overbite my front teeth nearly reach the bottom of my bottom front teeth at rest. Thank you
@@MaestroOfficial while mewing and keeping my teeth not in a deep bite position my chin and jawline looks really good. So is the decompensation going to make that position permanent? I don’t want to have the deep bite fixed if its going to have the same jaw position of the deep bite just with the teeth aligned. In that case my lower face part looks short.
Hi I need some advice! I am17 years old and Im am a mouth breather and have been for many years my face has definitely been effected by this, I have a long narrow face with a weak lower jaw and very crooked teeth because of this I suffer with depression and I am highly self conscious about myself I litrally feel like my looks have been taken from me as all of my family have strong jaw lines with very atractive forward growing faces. I also suffer from sleep apnea this had a msssive effect on my grades in school and is now effecting me in college life. I am soon to be having braces put on, they have removed 4 teeth, they are going to pull my front teeth back, after doing some research of my own I realized this would only further restricting my air ways and further ruining my facial aestetics, I am reserving free treatment via the NHS amd I have been on the waiting list for 3-4 years, what cam be done? What can be said to my orthodondist? Im really confused and scared
+Troublesome A all I can say is keep researching, inform yourself. the more you understand the easier it will be. I have stared receiving orthodontic treatment that I am paying for but its correct treatment for my situation
Is there something going on with your nose that is causing you to breathe through your mouth? If there is swelling in your nose, like from allergies, that can cause problems with not being able to breathe well through your mouth and also some sleep apnea. I sometimes have problems with breathing through my nose because of congestion. It seems like a nasal saline spray helps. But you can ask a doctor about your nose. I wonder if those breathing strips would help you too, to wear at night. I think sleeping with your head at a higher angle helps with sleep apnea too. I make a triangle of one pillow, then 2, then 3- with my head on the 3 pillows, my chest on the 2 pillows, and below that on the one pillow to help me sleep hight which helps a lot. Some people use a wedge pillow or put big wooden blocks under the legs of the bed at the top to raise the top higher. A 30 degree angle helps with breathing. A 45 degree angle helps even more with breathing. Both angles help things drain out of your head at night better. I like the mewing techniques he's talking about. Just trying it, I feel my ears unclogging and more room for breathing. Maybe try this technique yourself. There's lots of videos on how to do it. Definitely talk to a doctor to see if there's anything you can do to help you breathe better too. YOu may need allergy medicine daily. I also do other stuff with pillows to try to get a 45 degree angle sometimes. Hope some of this helps!
I have 35 % overbite, but when I try to do the proper tongue resting at the top, I get tension in my already tight jaw and my mouth won't stop watering.
I don't know for sure, but maybe lightly stretch and rub the muscles. Plus, just work towards the position a little at a time without torturing yourself. Like if you just start stretching, over time you will be able to stretch farther, but in the beginning you just do some mild stretching without hurting yourself. Does that make sense?
I got two teeth removed to fix my overbite. Stopped wearing retainer. (I have a permanent retainer in as a ‘back-up’). I can’t hold my back teeth together too well /: feels like it just pushed everything together, leaving no room for my tongue
this (and many other videos) is all very informative, but i (and obviously some other people down here) can't understand one thing. from one hand our - deep overbite crowd's - normal resting jaw position isn't clenched but rather "free-hanging" with our tong softly distancing our molars and while everything at this position overbite is almost gone. from the other the common mewing instruction states that we should keep out tong gently pressing against the palate while keeping our molar slightly touching. so does the second point mean that if we want to move the upper teeth line away (upper and forward) we must go against our "nature" and strive to touch our molars together moving jaw backwards and keeping it in the unwanted deep overbite position for time being? i'm asking because, surprise-surprise, i also have narrow palate (idk in metric term but just by feeling that there's not enough space for my tongue) so i am comfortable at putting my tongue upwards and even pushing against the palate, i'm fine breathing through my nose and mona lisa swallowing, but my tongue just wants some more space by moving jaw a bit down and forward.
ok, so i guess i'll answer myself, lol. we need to keep our teeth touching all the time so they can realign with each other with jaws moving relatively to each other.
I'm 26, with very high mobolity in my top front 4 teeth. My right knscisor was removed, I have an implant.my smile is very flat ,looks like a grimace. I'veld I have a class three malocclusion and a very deep bite. My teeth are gonna fall out.im at my wit's end .please doctors of there's any insight you could give me would be a great help. Desperate.
My masseters flex a little ,even when i make my back teeth touch lightly. I have a deep bite , if i keep that posture up i might get tmj what should i do? Should one align their inscisors.
Dang, I wish someone could translate/present solutions in regular English. I'm no DDS... Do you have overbite and want strong jaw? For results, do this: 1. 2. And so on....😩
For the posture, should we push the lower jaw forward a few millimeters because that’s the comfortable position even though there will be a space between the molars. Thanks.
I had a deep bite which when I started invisalign and mewing began to shift. Now even when I chew I can get the front teeth more or less normal but still my molars do not touch fully. My invisalign course has pushed my teeth outwards and should push them back- is this what is causing the gap between my molars? Should I worry about this? I have naturally high cheekbones, they aren’t flat but I have low levels of facial fat. They definitely were chubbier when I had a deep bite. My tongue also doesn’t go in between my molars at all, it fits within them. Will they touch together over time or not?
Wow I'm happy to hear that. I am. Trying this mewing thing. I forget it often though but try to remember. It gives me. Hope that could correct my deep Bite to some extent even. :)
is there a "traditional" way to fix molars relative undereruption compared to incisors relative overeruption without appliances? like can chewing help? and if yes then should one chew hard foods or a gum with molars to promote eruption or with incsisors to push them deeper?
Just a question, I have an overbite and so when you mew is your tongue touching ur front teeth and also is your upper teeth supposed to lay on ur tongue when you mew?
I have a deepbite.. is there any relation between tongue posture and eyes? cuz with mewing i feel that my eyes are more comfortable (teers are being pushed towards the eyes due to my tongue press aginst the palate) i may be wrong with this hypothesis but i'm feeling that something is going on and i'm in the right path.
I have a very challenging deep bite issue. If I'm honest it looks horrendous. I absolutely loath pictures of me smiling or from the side profile. Being 42 it has of course gotten worse over time so I'm hopeful that if that is the case then surely it can get better. Since my case is a very difficult one I will be sure to update if I have any success. So far I have been doing mewing (good tongue posture) for nearly a year. What I failed to do was correct swallowing. The pressure of my lips, particularly the lower lip, literally pushes so much pressure that it feels impossible to compete with my tongue and some lower teeth have collapsed inward giving a crowded appearance. Mewing hasn't caused this I must add. My teeth have been collapsing in since I was a child when my adult teeth came in. It worsened in my 20s and due to an invasive root canal the teeth on the left have collapsed in more. Anyway, now that I feel I have mastered soft mewing I am now focusing on correct posture and hard mewing when I remember. Shall keep you posted.
soo you're saying to correct my overbite & overjet (yes i have both) i can slightly bite down on my molars, and push my bottom lip forward? cause youre right about me having my tongue slightly seperating my molars lol
so what should i do? do i have to bring the lower jaw forward and rest the whole tongue on palate?? also i have narrow palate and i can't rest my tongue on the roof of mouth properly. Plzz help me to fix it cus i am 16 and i want to fix the tongue posture early so it won't get it worse.
My maxilla isn't recessed anymore, mewing for over a year now, deep bite hasnt changed a bit. My incisors just stick out too much, so when my molars touch, they overlap too much
@@Fin4L6are yes, but that didnt happen from mewing. I mentioned that because he said that would cure/help deep bite. The maxilla correction came from frequent heavy force thumbpulling
@@asura8495 thanks, I might start doing that. What makes me apprehensive is that my lower teeth are more narrow than the upper, they kind of sit inside of the upper teeth all around, which makes me think thumbpulling will make it worse... In your case it's only the top incisors that are too forward, not the molars that sit wider on the top jaw?
It's not that they're too forward, they are overlapping too much/deep. I didn't expand my maxilla much (yet), I only brought it forward quite a lot, the mabdible followed, the bite hasn't changed. Are your lower teeth completely inside the upper arch or are you able to meet the chewing surfaces on bith sides simultaneously when biting down, because it's normal that upper teeth are a little but wider
@@asura8495 yeah they're not completely inside, the bottom molars contact about halfway on the top ones. But looking into it I think maxilla correction is definitely what I should be doing
Ok, but I haven't understood if I need to mew in the "deep bite" position and things will fix, or if I need to in my "standard natural" position where the front teeth touch. What is the correct one? Please respond only if you are 100% sure, or if you had the same problem and fixed it.
This is very interesting!. Interested in this "orthotropic" as I am an individual with a deep "overbite" causing my face to look short. I've had braces and was told I needed jaw surgery to correct my bite. I was actually due to go thru with surgery until I had complications with my health insurance. Ultimately got my teeth taken care of but my bite not only bugs me, but I feel might be getting worse.
Please can somebody help me? I dont understand english wery well, many words too difficult for me. My problem is: i have overbite in my theet- so can i do mewing or not?:( Thank you so much if Someone can answar. ❤🙏
Keep your tongue on your palate (the upper round bone surface in your mouth) try covering all the palate even the softer fleshy back part, and try pushing with all your tongue using as much strength as you can, and keep teeth aligned.
Can someone explain to me exactly how someone can be so accurate, I mean I see myself in that and lest time I went to my orthodont they forced me to get this unatural jaw position behind my resting point
I have a deep bite (it's not very big) but straight top teeth, perfect tongue posture, and a perfectly formed face. My jaw lines up and I have no noticeable problems. Should I worry about it?
This saved my life. 8 months of mewing, 26 year old. It took me 7 months to be able to get the back o the tongue up on the palate, so I've been properly mewing for about 1 month. I no longer have an overbite. Allergies have gone, asthma gone, can sleep better. I look a hell of a lot better. You are godsend. May you live a long, long life. Thanks a ton, Doc!
I can't wait to see the difference in a couple of years, particularly with the angle of the mandible.
I'm maloclussion 2, so I have an overbite. What I can do man? :C
do you keep your molars or incisors clenched?
do you keep your front teeth together or back teeth?
CognitiveFuckUp do your teeth touch
@@andjela7847 It may not possible to get the molars touching initially if you have had an overbite, as the tongue will in the way (narrow palate). If you can get the molars touching also whilst mewing, then that is of course, ideal.
Press as hard as you can with the tongue on the palate as much as you can, and let the lower jaw (mandible) come forward with the force of the tongue pressing the palate and whatever part of the teet touches, let it touch. In my case, the incisors were the only ones that had contact initially.
Gradually, as the palate expands - usually in the order of the front most teeth to the back most teeth, in my experience - the molars will close in eventually, when the tongue fits in perfectly inside the palate. This may take some time, so I think it's alright to keep only the incisors in contact at first - with the force of the tongue, that is.
Dr. Mike Mew, you'll get more attention if you explain it in a simple and complex way. Not just the complex. You are talking to people who were not graduated in odontology. You need to make the solution clear
I think this is not a video for us common mortals, it seems it's for odontologists so that they can see how orthotropic works. But no one will ever change job. Too many money involved
Is this serious complex to you? He's using terms anyone who read 'teeth' in 10th standard would know.
As a non dentist, I understand what he is saying. The trick is to see all the video the mew's are on. I came across Orthotropic a few years ago but did not quite understand how it works. The new videos illustrates the difference between orthodontics and orthotropics. I had ortho treatment done but my incisor relapsed since midway through treatment my retainers broke and I was too afraid to see the orthodontist. I also realised that as a kid my mouth was open and my face elongated when I was 8. I also had partially blocked nose that I did not realise was blocked. If I was to run I found it helped if I breath in through my nose and breath out to my mouth. Like Dr Mew I have always been inquisitive and wondered why my teeth and lips are misaligned. Now I'm going to keep my tongue at the palate, make sure my incisors are aligned and close my mouth at all times.
@@naduyn can you suggest me how to mew if I have overbite of front teeths?
@Rishi Monty I sent messages, but I found different information that I sent before.
I love how at 5 minutes in, he was correctly describing my exact tongue resting position (as a person with an overbite) which is amazing!
You are describing my life.
Honestly, this is not explained too complexly. I appreciate you for giving detailed and genuine information, so that you can really understand what is happening, as far as you can without a degree.
If you don‘t understand all the terminology, then go look it up
I have this and everything you've said is dead on. I don't rest in that overbite position. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it looks horrible. And I do have stiffness and popping in my jaw, especially the left. I can already feel a difference by pressing my tongue on my palate and touching my front teeth together. I'm hoping to make permanent improvements. Thank you so much for this!
But do you still bite with a deep bite or do you force yourself to chew your food with your front teeth? I have the same problem, but i can't seem to understand how people in this situation are supposed to chew properly and i'm worried that its affecting the mewing progress negatively.
Doing this I noticed that that my face is slightly crooked and so I try to chew on my "weaker" side. I think if your bite is even just chew with your molars and make sure you're using your tongue as much as possible and swallowing appropriately. I think if you keep your posture correct as much as possible your teeth will slowly move as your bones do.
How’s the bite now?

What is deep bite
@@hhsh2186 overbite
@@maxfrickmann it’s slightly different, with a deep bite the bottom and upper jaws are aligned normally until you bite down, which is when the lower jaw is forced backwards in order to bite. This is because there is too much space between the upper and lower molars which means you are unable to bite normally
@@hhsh2186 ^
@@user-pd9xj1bt4e Is it just that or is it actualy a missalignment not of the teeth but of the maxilla and mandible. Meanig the maxilla is overly downroatated and the mandible overly uproatated?
I am not a dentist or a doctor but what you say makes sense from a mechanical point of view
I have deepbite and this video explains the resting position brilliantly. My front teeth are in the position shown in the picture only when chewing or asked to clench, otherwise, they have a normal freeway space. It's the molars which have significanly larger freeway space.
Dr. Mew was correct on the Taser thing too.
Same here. I have a very square face and get lots of compliments on jaw line etc but when I clench it feels less natural. If I wear my old retainer (which still fits 11+ years later) it opens my bite up a bit and feels much more natural. I had braces in my early teens but still ended up with a fair bit of deepbite (maybe 60%). Mentioned it to a few very qualified dentists / orthodontists and they all said it was fine and normal but ideally I'd like to knock a few mm off it.
So what solution he told
You literally described it so perfectly and correct to a T for my situation, extremely deep overbite, but only when I'm chewing do my teeth actually close that way. My tongue has teeth marks on both sides from my molars. When suctioning my tongue to the roof of my mouth I'm always trying to find what the best position for me teeth would be... clenched down in the deep overbite feels bad, but dangling also doesn't feel right....the struggle! Lol
Did you find a solution to this I have exacly the same
@@shadowsrage3021 have the same any solutions
@@shadowsrage3021 me too
@@marshall4u still same for me
@@shadowsrage3021did u fix it ?
This video explains my situation exactly. I had braces for 2 years with a Herbst appliance. The orthodontist put in a permanent retainer without even telling me. I felt so betrayed that I ripped it out with pliers. I still don't understand why they couldn't just give me a removable retainer for my lower teeth. My teeth were fine for about 10 years after that until I started grinding them in my sleep. That pushed my lower teeth forward, so I had to move my jaw back to chew, which pushed my lower teeth forward more- it is a vicious cycle. I was considering getting invisalign, but you have changed my mind. The orthodontist ruined my teeth. I still have glue left behind from the braces that prevents my gums from un-receding. Part of my enamel on my front tooth was ripped off while they removed the braces. And the fluoride toothpaste the orthodontist gave me created irreversible divots and white spots on several of my teeth. I have been brushing my teeth with baking soda for the past 10 years and haven't had any cavities. My dentist says my teeth look better than they did years ago, but I suspect that is because I floss daily.
This correctly describes my bite and how I set my jaw at rest. Might be too late for me to change my maxilla with correct oral posture but we will see. I'm 2 months in and seeing significant change in my ability to breathe through my nose and facial and neck musculature. Let's keep going. Thank you Doctor Mew!
I too have an overbite, so when you mew your upper teeth are laying on your tongue correct? Also, is the tip of your tongue touching your front teeth? I’m new to this sorry
@@arjunyogesh6996 No, that is my resting position before I started mewing. Your tongue shouldn't be in contact with your front teeth. There are plenty of mewing videos that can explain better than I can in a reply. Just know that suction holding your tongue to the top of your mouth is very important and try to get the back part of your tongue touching the soft palate.
@@NeverblinkTV alright thanks. But is ur upper teeth still laying on your tongue when u mew?
@@arjunyogesh6996 No, your upper teeth shouldn't be laying on the teeth although the side of your tongue will probably be touching the teeth especially if you have a narrow palette. Your tongue shouldn't be in contact with your front teeth keep that in mind, it should be barely behind your front teeth.
@@NeverblinkTV okay, so are ur top and bottom molars touching then?
WOW! you just explained my exact situation. I almost spent about 15K earlier this year to have it "corrected." I have watched a few of your vids after discovering your technique earlier today. Seems like I suddenly have options.
Did braces correct it? I have the exact problem. I started mewing like 6 months ago but my molars ain’t touching in resting position. Just my incisors and maybe canines. when I start chewing, my chin comes back

orthotropics has seriously improved my deepbite. it hasnt done much to reveal more of my bottom teeth, but it has seriously lifted my midface and therefore balanced my face out alot. i used to rest with my molars apart but now i no longer do. my face looks so much better at rest. thank you dr mew for this video!
Question when you mewed with your overbite did your front teeth touch or your molars? not sure which is better, curious which position you used that helped correct overbite
@@seanmchgaming2941 From what I've gathered when you have an overbite you should focus more on your molars touching rather than your front teeth. If you have your front teeth touching it will look unnatural and elongate your face, because you are jutting your jaw outward and down. Where as if your molars are touching (and tongue on the roof of your mouth) it will be the natural resting position. Overtime you should notice more prominent facial features.

Dr. Mew I must say this is the most controversial "bite" of all. :D Unfortunately, I am a typical (cannot be found a better specimen though) class II division two, and every word is fantastically true. However, the only chance to correct my jaw and perhaps teeth is the vast amount of time, hard work and patience. At the end of the video, there is great comfort for the heart (indeed it helps!) in your statement. I only wish I had found this in 2014 when I was was only 29. :) "Better later than never", as they say. Take care, and God Bless You and your Father!
any update> when i mew i dont keep my teeth slighly into contct of each other is it good or bad?
Thank you Doctor for your fantastic explanation on deep bite, now I knew they are actually lateral open bites. Hope to join your course one day and learn from you to treat and save patients in a correct way. From Malaysia :)
In the end of the video Dr Mike mew does say that mewing can correct your bite position overtime
Thank you that is what I understood also, I think he means that we should keep mewing and keep both our body and neck posture good in order to better our bite.
YES YES YES!👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm sure that having Cronic ASTHMA ADDS to underdevelopment of the face and the lower jaw.
Just found this and I am inhaling theory and knowledge about mewing. A total deep dive. THANK YOU for SHARING this with us.
And it resonates on every level. I actually stopped chewing gum because I was so aware of my overbite and the way I looked. I've also been very aware of the way I look while eating food, so this has kept me from going to parties where we eat food. (I know, it's hillarious)
I was born 8weeks early, had asthma my entire life, had severe overbite, 12mm and got braces at age 12. Two teeth were pulled out. Unfortunately my orthodontist committed suicide and I never got any follow up, and the overbite has slowly come back. Specially after an accident where I was bedridden for 1 year, and had to learn how to walk again. For me physical fitness go hand in hand with the way my face changes.
I also understand that I became overbite because of my challenge breathing my first years of life. I got a new life when I got good functioning medication at age 10. None told me or parents that it would create havock on my teeth, and I paid with extreme amounts of cavities and traumatic dental treatment in my pre teens and teens.
However I've always been aware of good posture, understood early the need of excersise as medication for asthma.
This is extremely intersting. I wonder how much it will effect my facial structure at middle age... what if...
I have contemplated surgery, but in general I'm pro natural methods as far as possible.🤔
Exciting times ahead, exiting times indeed 🤩🤩
Do u also feel wierd when u are clenching and your face looks too small

I don’t really get it, should i keep my front teeth together or the rest of my teeth together?
CognitiveFuckUp an overbite can't keep all their teeth together...
@@xuchilpaba You are right. Best to keep the front teeth together first, if your molars won't be touching. From what I've seen from the progress from different folks, the molars should eventually close in with time. Will take longer though.
CognitiveFuckUp but doesn't that make ones face longer in the the process, if I'm not mistaken the other doctor(the white haired gentleman) said something like that on another video.
@@xuchilpaba Can you please refer me to the video? From my own personal experience, I had an overbite initially, my molars did not touch (still does not), and I have crowded lower front teeth. Over the course of a few months however, the crowd has reduced, and the molars are closer.
I have been relentlessly mewing (dedicated days to mewing 24/7, pressing as hard as I can) , and the back of my tongue perfectly fits the palate now, which brings the jaw forward automatically, essentially aligning the teeth together. The overbite has gone, allergies reduced, sleep is better and my face looks noticeably better.
CognitiveFuckUp m.ua-cam.com/video/qghOlzfDgtU/v-deo.html
This was the video I was referring to, Note that I may have misunderstood the doctor.
Looking from a perspective of a cosmetologist/esthetician/gym rat/face yoga/body contour’;this changes my life for the better, even telling all my clients, family & friends, just spreading the word so we can all be healthy & beautiful lol. it’s crazy cause mewing is my secret recipe to life but it’s not a secret, it’s a way of life like from breathing, swallowing, eating, etc. even being in bed I feel like I’m super pro cause mewing makes it so much easier & not tiring at all. Even when I wash dishes & mew, it doesn’t feel like a chore anymore😂. I just love mewing & wish I knew about it before I was in my 20’s. I would’ve had my dream chin I thought I would need from surgery. Even my lips are fuller. Mewing is basically keeping your head tilt back, chin tucked into chest with your lips sealed balancing everything, & your teeth aligned & together but not touching, with a strong bite, swallow all the moisture out your teeth, gums & cheek always, swallow the back of your tongue, chest up, pinky’s up always, shoulders back, make sure you’re still biting down hard but don’t force it, toes, elbows, collarbones & knees pointed, keep swallowing, that’s the mewing recipe.

@@faqyhelsam9009 If you have an overbite/overjet like I do, mew with front teeth slightly touching (like. normal bite position), back teeth not touching. Overtime your tongue will push your maxilla forward and upward eliminating the overbite, and your back teeth will finally touch when your mandible moves forward and upward to match your maxilla.
@@firstname5556 but theres many people on reddit said " keep molars touch together" its confused me
@@faqyhelsam9009 do that if you don't have an overbite/overjet because your front teeth already have more or less a "normal bite". But if you have an overbite/overjet, the only way to have your front teeth lightly touching is to have your back teeth not touching (otherwise you will mew in a deepbite/overbite position). Also when you do that your lips can apply pressure more effectively to push your flared front teeth inwards while the tongue is pushing the maxilla up and forward.

Can Orthotropics fix this problem in people over 30?

Dr. Mew is absolutely right. My jaws rest with some freeway space at the back.
I'm in my 20's.from the UK. I have a deep bitE/overbite, and a unilateral crossbite. Based on what you said at the beginning of the vid, I think I have a class 2 division '2' (retroclined incisors). I I feel as though I need my jaws moved forward, as I feel as though the underlying tissue isn't getting enough 'support' resulting in a heavy looking face. Maybe early jowling? Mouth looks to be frowning at rest. I'm not sure if procling my teeth would help with my facual aesthetics? (I'm wondering about damon braces for this).

Hi I need some advice! I am17 years old and Im am a mouth breather and have been for many years my face has definitely been effected by this, I have a long narrow face with a weak lower jaw and very crooked teeth because of this I suffer with depression and I am highly self conscious about myself I litrally feel like my looks have been taken from me as all of my family have strong jaw lines with very atractive forward growing faces. I also suffer from sleep apnea this had a msssive effect on my grades in school and is now effecting me in college life. I am soon to be having braces put on, they have removed 4 teeth, they are going to pull my front teeth back, after doing some research of my own I realized this would only further restricting my air ways and further ruining my facial aestetics, I am reserving free treatment via the NHS amd I have been on the waiting list for 3-4 years, what cam be done? What can be said to my orthodondist? Im really confused and scared
+Troublesome A all I can say is keep researching, inform yourself. the more you understand the easier it will be. I have stared receiving orthodontic treatment that I am paying for but its correct treatment for my situation
i put braces on then found this out like a week later...i wish i had known
Troublesome A hope u found a solution by now. Try orthotropics.
don't remove your teeth, it will cause your airway to narrow, your best bet is to have palatal expander to make you breathe better.
Is there something going on with your nose that is causing you to breathe through your mouth? If there is swelling in your nose, like from allergies, that can cause problems with not being able to breathe well through your mouth and also some sleep apnea. I sometimes have problems with breathing through my nose because of congestion. It seems like a nasal saline spray helps. But you can ask a doctor about your nose. I wonder if those breathing strips would help you too, to wear at night. I think sleeping with your head at a higher angle helps with sleep apnea too. I make a triangle of one pillow, then 2, then 3- with my head on the 3 pillows, my chest on the 2 pillows, and below that on the one pillow to help me sleep hight which helps a lot. Some people use a wedge pillow or put big wooden blocks under the legs of the bed at the top to raise the top higher. A 30 degree angle helps with breathing. A 45 degree angle helps even more with breathing. Both angles help things drain out of your head at night better. I like the mewing techniques he's talking about. Just trying it, I feel my ears unclogging and more room for breathing. Maybe try this technique yourself. There's lots of videos on how to do it. Definitely talk to a doctor to see if there's anything you can do to help you breathe better too. YOu may need allergy medicine daily. I also do other stuff with pillows to try to get a 45 degree angle sometimes. Hope some of this helps!

So how to mewing with a overbite? front or back teeth?
NeuxDank frontttt
I have 35 % overbite, but when I try to do the proper tongue resting at the top, I get tension in my already tight jaw and my mouth won't stop watering.
I don't know for sure, but maybe lightly stretch and rub the muscles. Plus, just work towards the position a little at a time without torturing yourself. Like if you just start stretching, over time you will be able to stretch farther, but in the beginning you just do some mild stretching without hurting yourself. Does that make sense?
I got two teeth removed to fix my overbite. Stopped wearing retainer. (I have a permanent retainer in as a ‘back-up’). I can’t hold my back teeth together too well /: feels like it just pushed everything together, leaving no room for my tongue
Same what u did
You described exactly what I have
this (and many other videos) is all very informative, but i (and obviously some other people down here) can't understand one thing. from one hand our - deep overbite crowd's - normal resting jaw position isn't clenched but rather "free-hanging" with our tong softly distancing our molars and while everything at this position overbite is almost gone. from the other the common mewing instruction states that we should keep out tong gently pressing against the palate while keeping our molar slightly touching. so does the second point mean that if we want to move the upper teeth line away (upper and forward) we must go against our "nature" and strive to touch our molars together moving jaw backwards and keeping it in the unwanted deep overbite position for time being? i'm asking because, surprise-surprise, i also have narrow palate (idk in metric term but just by feeling that there's not enough space for my tongue) so i am comfortable at putting my tongue upwards and even pushing against the palate, i'm fine breathing through my nose and mona lisa swallowing, but my tongue just wants some more space by moving jaw a bit down and forward.
ok, so i guess i'll answer myself, lol. we need to keep our teeth touching all the time so they can realign with each other with jaws moving relatively to each other.
I also have deepbite and I like my face resting but when I clench my jaw it feels so small and me feel bad about that
This is my issue so hopefully I get through this

1.
2.

So through mewing i am able to change the overbite? Or did i miss something? So through mewing the maxilla will move as he said?
For the posture, should we push the lower jaw forward a few millimeters because that’s the comfortable position even though there will be a space between the molars. Thanks.
Deep bites can be caused by damaged molars, or worse still...missing molars.
I had a deep bite which when I started invisalign and mewing began to shift. Now even when I chew I can get the front teeth more or less normal but still my molars do not touch fully. My invisalign course has pushed my teeth outwards and should push them back- is this what is causing the gap between my molars? Should I worry about this?
I have naturally high cheekbones, they aren’t flat but I have low levels of facial fat. They definitely were chubbier when I had a deep bite.
My tongue also doesn’t go in between my molars at all, it fits within them.
Will they touch together over time or not?
When chewing food do u look diff? I wish Dr Mew would reply everyone's questions. Sadly he doesn't. I too have a deep bite and I suffer from it. :(
@@elitarantula2833 what do you mean look different?
@@kataminedj hey what I meant was when you bite doesn't the face look diff? It's what I have noticed whne having a deep bite.
@@elitarantula2833 not anymore no, it's the same as when at rest.
Wow I'm happy to hear that. I am. Trying this mewing thing. I forget it often though but try to remember. It gives me. Hope that could correct my deep Bite to some extent even. :)
Thank you for making these videos.
is there a "traditional" way to fix molars relative undereruption compared to incisors relative overeruption without appliances? like can chewing help? and if yes then should one chew hard foods or a gum with molars to promote eruption or with incsisors to push them deeper?
Just a question, I have an overbite and so when you mew is your tongue touching ur front teeth and also is your upper teeth supposed to lay on ur tongue when you mew?
Pls make a video on overbite...how to mew with an overbite
I'm gonna do invisalign and mew
I have a deepbite.. is there any relation between tongue posture and eyes? cuz with mewing i feel that my eyes are more comfortable (teers are being pushed towards the eyes due to my tongue press aginst the palate) i may be wrong with this hypothesis but i'm feeling that something is going on and i'm in the right path.
Can mewing fix short face caused by deepbite in adults?
My top teeth are kind of like this. Working on my poster a lot now.
I have a very challenging deep bite issue. If I'm honest it looks horrendous. I absolutely loath pictures of me smiling or from the side profile. Being 42 it has of course gotten worse over time so I'm hopeful that if that is the case then surely it can get better. Since my case is a very difficult one I will be sure to update if I have any success. So far I have been doing mewing (good tongue posture) for nearly a year. What I failed to do was correct swallowing. The pressure of my lips, particularly the lower lip, literally pushes so much pressure that it feels impossible to compete with my tongue and some lower teeth have collapsed inward giving a crowded appearance. Mewing hasn't caused this I must add. My teeth have been collapsing in since I was a child when my adult teeth came in. It worsened in my 20s and due to an invasive root canal the teeth on the left have collapsed in more.
Anyway, now that I feel I have mastered soft mewing I am now focusing on correct posture and hard mewing when I remember.
Shall keep you posted.
Good luck, hope it works out for you 👍
Any news?
So the conclusion being mewing will make it right?
The appliances that help faster are to expensive. Wish they were more affordable until then I will suffer with small flat gunted face , chin.
soo you're saying to correct my overbite & overjet (yes i have both) i can slightly bite down on my molars, and push my bottom lip forward? cause youre right about me having my tongue slightly seperating my molars lol
I got this, but no fucking specialist wants to help me, its extremely depressing....
Is this achievable from mewing Sir?
I understand but what do I do to help myself.
so what should i do? do i have to bring the lower jaw forward and rest the whole tongue on palate?? also i have narrow palate and i can't rest my tongue on the roof of mouth properly. Plzz help me to fix it cus i am 16 and i want to fix the tongue posture early so it won't get it worse.
node !% This guy never actually shows us what to do he just complicates things...
R G gotta watch other videos or go to website
Mew try your hardest and don't just your jaw forward otherwise you will end up with a recessed chin
how do i fix this? Mewing ? Or something different? Please help..thanks
Can somebody summerize this ?
My maxilla isn't recessed anymore, mewing for over a year now, deep bite hasnt changed a bit. My incisors just stick out too much, so when my molars touch, they overlap too much
So you saw a change in your cheeks appearance?
@@Fin4L6are yes, but that didnt happen from mewing. I mentioned that because he said that would cure/help deep bite.
The maxilla correction came from frequent heavy force thumbpulling
@@asura8495 thanks, I might start doing that. What makes me apprehensive is that my lower teeth are more narrow than the upper, they kind of sit inside of the upper teeth all around, which makes me think thumbpulling will make it worse... In your case it's only the top incisors that are too forward, not the molars that sit wider on the top jaw?
It's not that they're too forward, they are overlapping too much/deep.
I didn't expand my maxilla much (yet), I only brought it forward quite a lot, the mabdible followed, the bite hasn't changed.
Are your lower teeth completely inside the upper arch or are you able to meet the chewing surfaces on bith sides simultaneously when biting down, because it's normal that upper teeth are a little but wider
@@asura8495 yeah they're not completely inside, the bottom molars contact about halfway on the top ones. But looking into it I think maxilla correction is definitely what I should be doing
So how would you combat ?
Hi, i think i gained a deep bite due to 2 upper premolar extractions and braces, can it be resolved in the same way?
So will mewing cause your overbite to protrude?
Ok, but I haven't understood if I need to mew in the "deep bite" position and things will fix, or if I need to in my "standard natural" position where the front teeth touch.
What is the correct one? Please respond only if you are 100% sure, or if you had the same problem and fixed it.
have the exact same problem but not sure, i read some places that mewing worsened peoples deep bite and other places that it improved it.
So what can we do to overcome deep bite ? With what technique ?
This is very interesting!.
Interested in this "orthotropic" as I am an individual with a deep "overbite" causing my face to look short. I've had braces and was told I needed jaw surgery to correct my bite. I was actually due to go thru with surgery until I had complications with my health insurance. Ultimately got my teeth taken care of but my bite not only bugs me, but I feel might be getting worse.
How deep / short? Jaw surgery is an absolute palaver, my friend went through it and it took months and months to recover.
So a class 2 (division 1) overbite can be treated succesfully with mewing?
So he is saying when you push your maxilla upward the front teeth will to and the mandible too,
How does he treat overbite?
Im 13 and i have this and i an going to start mewing wil this help me?
Yes u are young and still having growing potential so your bones will easily change
How do I now if my bad posture caused by genetic or not?
bad posture is not caused by genetics
Please can somebody help me? I dont understand english wery well, many words too difficult for me. My problem is: i have overbite in my theet- so can i do mewing or not?:( Thank you so much if Someone can answar. ❤🙏
I have the same problem, do you find a solution ?
Keep your tongue on your palate (the upper round bone surface in your mouth) try covering all the palate even the softer fleshy back part, and try pushing with all your tongue using as much strength as you can, and keep teeth aligned.
@@onelove5618 i have the same problm, what should the teeth position while mewing??? please
@@HandmadeArt00 keep your teeth as close as possible(especially the back ones),while pushing your tongue up on the palate.
@@aaquibtayyabi try getting as many teeth as posssible together.
Can someone explain to me exactly how someone can be so accurate, I mean I see myself in that and lest time I went to my orthodont they forced me to get this unatural jaw position behind my resting point
xWaazes Orthodontistes try to get money orthotropics helps you
Will mewing get rid of my deep bite
I have a deep bite (it's not very big) but straight top teeth, perfect tongue posture, and a perfectly formed face. My jaw lines up and I have no noticeable problems. Should I worry about it?
Max Amillion Kmao..yeah, you’re just perfect...no improvement needed...
what a retarded comment
