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.

This channel also acts as a forum to make openly, speculative suggestions, to find common ground with other professionals (in both related and seemingly unrelated fields), educated lay people and members of the public at large, to either support or detract on the information provided, but either way engage in the scientific process. In the pursuit of the truth it is normal in science to make speculative comments which may not have full scientific support, and we welcome feedback and discussion.

In general, the videos posted on this web site are not advertisements, and will clearly be labelled as such if necessary. Apart from educational books, the association does not sell anything or encourage anyone to have any form of treatment. It does aim to make people think, consider all options, ask questions and become fully informed.

The underlying pathology of malocclusion and the related symptoms is referred to as Craniofacial Dystrophy;

The association feels that it should be possible to prevent or at least minimise the level of craniofacial dystrophy through simple public health measures.

i literally had it missligned for like 30 minutes so uncomfortable and within 2 seconds of doing that its back to normal. Best video ever haha

I’ve had pain and pressure in my jaw joint/ear for over a decade. I’ve been to ear doctors, I’ve had minor surgery where I got my jaw joint rinsed under the skin, expensive physiotherapy, different pain killers and various other appointments. I’ve been doing this pencil trick 2-3 times a day since you released this video and it’s done more to consistently relieve the pain than all of that. Thank you.

I want to cry, thank you so much doctor!! For anyone else having this issue where they cant open their mouth more than two or 3 fingers, try with only one pencil on the side that is locked, try to make a big underbite and bite down hard to moderately. You may not feel a pop or anything but once youve done the bite down motion enough remove the pencil and see of your jaw will open fully. If it didnt work keep trying, put the pencil even further back and do an even more exaggetated underbite. Still nothing? Give it a rest, youve probably been trying so many things that your mucles are very swollen and sore. Put a bit of cold compress and try again in 15-30 mins. This will work trust me, it worked wonders for me.

I have said this and I’ll always will: THANK YOU FOR LIFE DR. MEW you changed my life forever for the better!!!🙏🙏🙏❤️

[WoeWoeWoe]

You are a freaking lifesaver and apparently a mind reader too!

[Vorm]

Like many here, I came here with a jaw that had been locked open for more than 15 minutes and you've saved me a world of stress. Thank you!

[landreaeo]

Nice new style; concise and well edited. If you're getting someone to help you with the videos in this new phase of your journey, that's a great idea!

My right TMJ has been locked and in pain for 3 days.. this exercise relieved the tightness by 50%, now I can open my mouth in a larger range. Will continue to try it daily till it gets back to normal.

[crunchycrunchcrunch]

Thank you soooo much! I got a left jaw lock. I could not open my mouth widely and was about to call TMJ for appointment. After i followed the vdo, i could open my mouth normal!!! I am so happy. Thank you so much for posting this vdo! 😊

Just fixed my jaw! Knocked it loose a bit during rugby today. Got the bite down and then when I removed the screws I could finally touch my back right teeth together! Thanks doc!

[ajlx]

This is literally the greatest video ever. Thank you! I was experiencing this out of nowhere in the middle of the night, and this helped me fix it INSTANTLY! THANK YOU!

[WOBBLEMASTER]

Everything I’ve tried. Several ER’s turning me away... MY JAW POPPED.
Subbed.

[rickw]

Dear Mike, I just wanted to wish you good health and I hope you will recover from whatever health issues you currently have going on. Realise you have achieved a lot and done a lot and that's it completely okay if you were to take time off. Best wishes

I called a TMJ specialist. $500 and more for treatments and therapy. I need to go to the store and buy a pencil.

[anthonyberumen]

OMG...the locking instantly went away after trying this. THANK YOU

[cozypiggie]

Thank you! I woke up this morning with a locked jaw on one side. Nothing worked until I tried this. A few minutes after I tried this, my jaw just unlocked!! I didn't have a pencil so I used a bunch of Q-tips on each side.

[AdRoPol]

thanks mate i ignored everything you said and pulled my jaw into place

[Josh-dhyn]

I got hit at my right TMJ and it "locked". Did this and it instantly relieved the stiffness. Dr. Mew keeps being the GOAT.

[stormyay]

Dr. Mew, thank you for your jaw-unlocking technique, it worked wonders for me! Your explanations are clear and very helpful. I found your YouTube channel after Kriss AI suggested I look up jaw exercises, and that's how I discovered your videos.
