Mewing Myth or Magic? Dentist Reveals Truth

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

Can you alter your face with mewing or is it internet hype? Have you tried it what were your results?

Very thorough review. I've been doing some aspects of mewing for over a year now (mainly tongue posture, proper swallowing, & keeping mouth closed as much as possible). Within the first 2 weeks, the roof of my mouth changed shape- it flattened out and my teeth shifted to the point that I could no longer wear my retainers at night. I'm so glad I no longer need to wear them! My teeth have stayed in relatively the same place since then. I wear myotape when I sleep, which has decreased my clenching. More recently, I went from being a lifelong vegetarian (30 years) to mainly carnivore. I saw huge improvements by changing my diet (got rid of my IBS!), but the teeth are slower to respond. I'm hoping over time the enamel will remineralize. My kids unfortunately inherited my high palate, so they are doing myofunctional therapy. My oldest is using the froggy mouth device daily and my youngest uses the myomunchee. I'm hoping they avoid braces (as I had braces twice!).

Wow that’s amazing I’ve tried it on and off for a while with no noticeable results I think I suffer from a weak tongue from having a tongue tie so can’t really apply much force or full contact I think myofunctional exercises for kids are great to help train proper muscle activity and to even out the pressure on the arches Thanks so much for sharing your experience and thoughts

Its seems pretty obvious that pushing your tongue against your jaw isn't going to change the shape of your face to me

Yes but if you package something with convincing sounding science like words and explanations then you make anything sound plausible to those seeking a solution.
