How To Fix A Narrow Palate

If you breathe through your mouth, the shape of upper jaw will be impacted substantially! The tongue shapes the roof of the mouth, so if you have your tongue in the wrong place, you'll develop a narrow palate. Damian Lewis' smile is a good example of this. He definitely needs myofunctional therapy!

Myofunctional therapy along with appliances like the DNA Appliance, ALF Appliance and Orthotropic appliances can help expand and widen a narrow palate.

I wish my parents or doctor knew all this shit when I was a child. Now I'm an adult and am insecure about my looks.

This should be explained to all kids in school. Or when they see their dentist, orthodontist etc.

Great info. I never heard of myofunctional therapy untill dr. Mike Mew mentioned it on his channel. I started mewing, keeping the tongue on the roof and changing my swallowpattern and see already great results. Whould love to see more of your videos about this subject.

I always breathed through my nose and my tongue has already naturally rested on the roof of the mouth (I was surprised people had to be instructed to do so) yet I developed a narrow palate.

This video is great. More People need to know about tongue posture. James Nestor brought me here.

Wouldn't fixing the narrow palate remove the neccessity to extract teeth.

I have struggled with this my whole life. My tongue was way too long for my palette. I had jaw surgery too. My retainers broke in the beginning of the pandemic, it really makes my life difficult not just in appearance

when I place my tongue sucked to the roof of my mouth, my tongue always touches my front lower teeth and its between my side teeth as well. Do I have a fat tongue :p I do always nose breath tho but I do clench my teeth in the night

I'm in my mid twenties and currently in the final stages of my orthodontic treatment. I did have a palatal expander in the beginning when I was getting fitted for braces. I do believe I was a mouth breather as my face is shaped downward and my cheekbones are a little faint. Is it still possible to develop an ideal face shape using myofunctional therapy, i.e proper posture, swallowing, tongue positioning, etc? Great video by the way!

I developed it because they extracted 2 teeth when I had braces when I was younger. I hope this can still be fixed

This is easily one of the most controversial fields of health as it leads into the idea that beauty isn't as genetic as we all thought.

Also that sweet sweet money from braces. If I actually wore my retainers I would have been extra fucked.

Could you recommend a doctor in Toronto please. Thanks.

Hello. Im 26. I started mewing a couple months ago, I just noticed recently that my left side of my palate has expanded more and the tongue on that side is a lot stronger and my jaw looks better on that side and everything, my right side tongue touches my teeth when i try to mew, and feeling around inside my mouth with my finger i can definitely feel that my palate has expanded more on the left side and not enough on the right side... any tips on how to get the right side expanded so i can catch it back up?

[bioshock]

what is with the lower jaw ?
the same thing - when the upper jaw - grows - same to the the lower ?
Thank you ! :)

Hey, So I'm 18 and I have a narrow palate. My orthodontist used a palate expander on my top arch and it worked a bit, but my upper arch is still pretty small. Is it possible to get it done again? As a result of a small palate, I have had crowding on both top and bottom. Any advice would be appreciated.

i got my braces removed 4 years ago, but my jaw looks very narrow. Basically, i think thebraces made the matters worse. Would I need to get surgery to fix this?

[ovidiudrobota]

As an adult, is it possible to expand my palate just by hard mewing and having my lips sealed? I'm 28 years old. Your response would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If I got teeth extractions for braces in high school, can I undo the effects in my late 20's? I have a long midface and narrow palate, and am worried that it might be too late to improve. Can you tell me what you think?

[zoelouise]

I’m nearly 25 and have severe face pain. Do you think I could still expand my upper jaw? I have a very narrow V shaped palate.
