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.

Orthotropics essential means straight or correct growth. If your faces grows well it tends to work well. The concept is based on the Tropic Premise; www.watkinsden...

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

[@minnie5873]

I'm almost a dentist. I'm studying 6th semester out of 8. and I admire Dr. John Mew, and his researches and works. I will show my patients and the specially, my colleagues and professors, his enormous knowledge and his expertise

[@pubwvj]

When I was a child my dentist wanted to extract the first premolars. I said no. He convinced my parents. I explained that if he tried I would bite off his fingers. And that was the end of that. I was young, small and knew my haw was still growing. I wanted to give it time. It was the right decision.

[@misschris325]

Very nice! I almost had 4k worth of work done last year, but went to get a second opinion. The second orthodontist told me there's nothing wrong with me and none of my teeth should be extracted- listening to him was one of the best decisions I ever made!

[@Yana-tf1he]

I really think this is what people need to watch, this knowledge isn’t empty words

[@AstroskyOfficial]

interesting!

[@andyisdead]

I love the sight of those antique books behind Sir John Mew.

[@talatdymc6539]

I beline that you are going to be in scientific literatures in the future.

[@Gleefan134]

When will this come on the news, become mainstream?

[@Qwty163]

Likely never, like most things, orthodontics is an industry, it makes money, they definitely dont want orthotropics to become popular, because of the financial impact it would have. So I think they would likely never stop being ridiculed by the orthodontics industry

[@tt-tt3vi]

The video that I'm looking forward to

[@Dellisola]

Interesting video ❤

[@astraydhurion7697]

I never thought I would be interesting in reading orthodontic reports. I need to put my hands on both Edward Angle and Charles Tweed papers because I want to understand how we get to this point of overprescribing braces and extracting teeth.

[@dddddddddddddddd5911]

Love this

[@wasneverhere1]

Keep it up :)

[@Orthotropics]

Always!

[@Scaraxiom]

I believe braises are never necessary for Better straighten Teeth. But that’s just my opinion, I don’t know much about braises anyways. Better to do mewing.

[@samgamblewhite8600]

Braces definitely have their place but I would definitely say they are overprescribed.

[@SayMyName316]

When are you guys gonna come to Canada

[@mrbrakelol]

Essential viewing for ALL orthodontists, especially those married to extraction orthodontics. The extraction retraction way of orthodontics was based on a dodgy work around from a bunch of not properly treated patients (the ones from Edward Angle that relapsed didn't address the MYOFUNCTIONAL/soft tissue aspect). So the very man who created the extraction system everyone does these days had a seemingly change of heart before his death... I would think he had more of a change of heart before he died but didn't want to admit that his whole life's work was wrong. WHY DO DENTISTS AND ORTHODONTISTS KEEP UNNECESSARILY EXTRACTING TEETH?????

[@gaylecheung3087]

I had my braces in 1976 at age of 13 to 21 five years of braces, for extractions to upper to lower protruding canines uppers only… So why did not my orthodontist do you think spenders if they were available box then I never heard of it until now and my niece Anon she’s at a very young age for braces, 9 and she using an expanders 2015..... Less movement of the cheese from for her compared to mine now I have short routes Lucy’s and very upset and 58 soon come next March 2021 obviously my uppers lost 3 addition teeth, due to looseness, sad...

[@elpirato5428]

Please tell me if i have overbite(micrognathia) should i do mewing or not? Or i should press to lower jaw? Please doctor tell me, i cant understand what am i got to do couse i from Russia and i cant translate the words. Thanks.

[@onekingaj1004]

Yes you have to mew an overbite is cause by a recessed jaw or a tongue thrust when you swallow

[@madisonwiley123]

I've been mewing for 7 months and it looks like my jaw/mandible has grown and come forward, but my maxilla hasn't. Will my maxilla eventually come forward too?

[@KedousY]

Yes

[@anexpertonthematter1468]

Yes

[@jaspreetsingh8434]

Did you keep your molars touching while mewing?

[@fadjeja3141]

I refused extraction of 4 permanent molars in my upperjaw at age 10. What if I agreed? 😔

[@Minecraftpe5]

I regret that decision and I'm 19 now. My already weak chin is even more smaller and recessed than what it was as a child

[@fadjeja3141]

[@civotamuaz5781]

One question for this section, should i take off the braces 5 months prematurely and to rely only on mewing. My smile has been ruined but teeth are straight, so should i just do it?

[@ceo_craft]

Good afternoon, Dr. Mew! If an adult 23 year old has sagittal craniosynostosis, how will mewing open his skull and will there be a positive result?

[@yesyes9701]

Hello Dr Mew I am 13 almost 14 I have a receded chin and I always have been a mouth breather but in the past 6 months I saw your videos and started mewing and I got a very defined jawline and forward face and it was really helpful and amazing to see the changes I really appreciate your work, but my chin barely or didn’t change it is still receded. Will my chin ever become normal and if yes how long will it take?

[@Orthotropics]

Muscles can change fast but bone is slow. Try to keep good posture, lips together, teeth together, tongue on the roof of your mouth. It will move slowly but surely.

[@G4TSU777]

You are still very young so preaty much everything can change just dont give up, work on your posture and watch others orthotropics videos

Are you ProfJohnMew on the orthotropic reddit? Or are you not on the reddit at all?

[@reignrubio8]

I've been chewing only on my left side of the cheek for almost 4-5 years now because Im scared to get my molar tooth on the right side removed, does this contribue to my asymmetrical face/weak muscles on my right side of the face? And will it help me if I start mewing? someone please reply :( Also, my upper and lower teeth arent aligned, can mewing help my lower jaw move forward?

[@thebigshit2646]

hi, I'm 15 years old and have a long midface, can mewing still fix this??

[@shrek19yearsago78]

abel dv how long does it take to get use to mewing

[@animewave01]

I’m doing mewing for a week. I noticed that I can breathe and jawline look even worse

[@KedousY]

Did you do it correctly? It takes time to see changes. Usually about a few months to years. Keep doing and tell us your progress.

[@jaspreetsingh8434]

Did it get better? If not, may be I can help

Is Controlled Arch together with mewing as good as Bionator or Biobloc

[@MegaHux]

Biobloc is not a functional appliance - it is used in orthotropics, which sees malocclusion as a postural deformity that comes about because of bad habits. Biobloc stage one widens the upper dental arch and encourages forward growth. The width gained makes good oral posture easier to achieve and the stage 3 makes that oral posture subconscious - changing habits for life. This is why orthotropics patients do not suffer from relapse, while retention is always required in all other forms if orthodontics.
