Are there any risks in Mewing?

If there are any other topics you want us to cover please let us know.

As a general rule neither Prof or Dr Mew not have time to engage in the comments section, their focus must be to gain as much real change and scientific engagement as possible, and this would otherwise consume all their time. If you want to engage with Prof John Mew or Dr Mike Mew on this or other topics then follow these links;

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.

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.

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.

Another risk is becoming excessively preoccupied about one's own appearance.

If you're a beginner, don't start chewing gums. Just practice correct tongue posture, body posture, proper swallowing and tongue chewing for one year. After that, your jaw will get strong enough to chew gums and you won't cause any problems. Just from a personal experience, I started chewing after one year of mewing.... and you don't expect that much in a year, even though it's a pretty big change. Just do it regularly and after like four or five years, your face will improve a lot. Hope everyone gets results....

Mewing almost cure my tmj disfunction. Before my mouth shifts to the right when I open wide, I just focus on pressing more on the left upper palete because I have assymetric face. Now my face becomes better gradually everyday. No more jaw locking and popping! Thanks Dr mew for this knowledge! And of course don't forget the chin tuck.

[christianjohnson]

I love you like my own father, Dr. Mew💪🥺😩😫😂😂 you’ve changed my life, two monthes ago I had a double chin and major anxiety attacks and depression, due to the fact my palate was too narrow and I was a mouth breather for most of my life. I am getting results rapidly!! I am now developing hollow cheeks and my jawline is becoming more deep and my chin is growing. Your

I just started mewing for a week, and now i feel scared to continue :’))

[MrXDrAMZx]

I have been mewing for about 14 months now and I am getting great results just like Mr.mew had promised in his videos from when i first started. Now a month into mewing I started to chew gum. When i first started chewing, I noticed some clicking noise on one side of my jaw only when i would chew really hard and on top of that I would get jaw pain. So what I did was I told myself that I am going to mew for another few months before I start chewing gum again. So i waited for another 6 months just mewing alone and then started to chew again, and the clicking was not present, same with the pain it was gone. I can now chew for hours on end without any jaw pain whatsoever. So my explanation would be that my jaw had developed more in those 6 months allowing me to chew the gum without any clicking going on anymore! I had a serious receded jawline when I started but had gone away at about the 10 month mark. So I feel like it would be better to start chewing once your jaw has developed more through just mewing alone and not chewing until later when your jaw has developed more. That would be my take on it. This is just from my personal experience mewing these past 14 months.

I suffered a canine extraction because I was desperate to expand my palate by pushing too hard with my tongue against the inside of my upper row of teeth (even though videos said not to apply forceful pressure). Not only that, but even as I developed a puss-filled pimple on the side of my gum where my canine was injured from the pushing, I didn't go to a dentist for months until it was too late and I had developed a small cyst at the tip of the tooth root. It would have supposedly been treatable with anti-biotics but at this point it was apparently already killed off that tooth and was at risk of spreading to my other teeth. It had to be extracted.

I just wish orthotropic doctors would be available all over. I live in a regular city, far away from the state's big main cities where these kinds of doctors are found.

Question: What is the importance of wisdom teeth, and their effect on the face?

[P_asadino]

Awesome doc, i can you provide some of these questions:

▪I can't breathe while i'm mewing, help!

▪What is the importance of wisdom teeths?

▪Should you mew with retainers?

▪What does mewing with back of the tongue particularlly does to face?

Thanks

[Kriegerdammerung]

This channel deserves more suscribers!

[tenparsecs]

I think it's important to outline the different techniques of Mewing at some point. People hyper-focus on tongue posture, and then hacking at gum to grow the massesters.

When mewing blew up at the start of last year, everyone just talked about 'tongue on the roof of your mouth' rather than the entire picture of 'oral posture AND FUNCTION'. Tongue posture, correct chewing and correct swallowing are all almost as important as each other in my opinion, and none should be neglected as they have been. I couldn't get this message through in just comment sections and I think this is probably the right forum

Clicked Faster than Subacute Jaw Joint Problems
Q: If we do get a click during the pinky test can we still hard chew? (Without making it a marathon)

[poojaasharma]

I have teeth marks on the sides my tongue: it's coz my hard palate is a bit narrow for it.

[Mago-gqxt]

I don’t get it, the risks of mewing, but you’re talking about whether or not we should ‘chew/ toungue chew’???

[UnsilentedStorms]

Damn, yeah my left ear I feel like something push out with a slight cracking noise, and a feeling akin to a cracking joint.

[pxrkn]

While Mewing does have some side effects, they only occur during the initial phase and fade away with time as your body gets used to the correct oral posture. Mild soreness is normal, however, is discomfort lasts for a longer period of time it is recommended you consult an orthodontist.

[KeysToCreation]

Thanks so much Dr. Mew! greatly appreciated!!😛🤙🏻✨

[diegopiedmont]

man this mewing crap seems alot more complicated then just rest your tongue on the top of your mouth

kinda wishing i never figured out what it is ngl

[THORoyGaming]

Doc? I just wanna ask,
Can I mew with uneven mouth palate?
The roof of my mouth is higher on the left and lower on the other side.
Plss notice this

[eevee]

Mewing made my jaw very painful and it felt dislocated and i still cant open my mouth fully
