Life After Orthodontic Braces By Dr Mike Mew

[@shaba2318]

A lot of people seem confused to here is an example of what he is explaining. If you surgically get fat removed, yes you will be skinny but if your diet doesn’t change you will become fat again. Its the same with braces, they hold you back from mewing to further perfect your face but once the therapy has been completed you must mew afterwards, if you carry on the way you did before then your teeth will return to their pay positioning.

[@ayres6727]

so we should not wear braces anymore, because mewing can straighten your teeth?

[@angelito2489]

So basically after you’re done with braces you need to mew in order to get results

[@ghizlanenizar1110]

Me too

[@simaylien]

Had braces all throughout high school and I had beautiful teeth. Not too long after they were off my lower jaw started shifting laterally and now I have a terrible malocclusion. My orthodontist recognized that I have a tongue thrust but never told me if or how I could fix it. He knew I had TMJ issues but said that’s normal and to just be careful not to open my mouth wide. Said the only option I had was jaw surgery or basically just accept how things are. I can’t believe I was led to believe that all these problems were normal and brushed off.

[@atciitwcat]

I'm no expert but for those asking if braces (i am using invisalign) are compatible with mewing, it depends on wether the teeth are being pushed inwards or outwards. Mewing expands the palate, making the teeth have more space to align correctly. I feel like invisalign would be compatible because they are pushing mine outwards, but it really depends for each person

[@vlcheish]

Truth is mewing is mostly too late as an adult. Sure keeping good tongue posture is a good thing but I would not waste time with really spending much time on this.This is something that a young kid needs to do while growing so for all parents or future parents out there please don't let your children suffer the same fate as us.

Mike Mew, the videos you have in regards to retainers on your channel are so vague and contradictory on certain points, that I cannot trust what you actually say... You fully acknowledge the fact that not wearing retainers will bring your teeth back to their original crowded or overbite form, but then on the other hand claim that simply mewing will be enough and that you don't have to wear a retainer ever again? So we're supposed to just go on a whim and trust you on this even if our teeth could potentially go back to their original crowded form even if we mew? Come on man... Make a better video than this fully explaining whether people need retainers or not, you are not giving actual clear or concise answers or explanations...

I have terrible TMJ and I started chewing gum to help regenerate my jaw joints and the mechanic was helping. However, like you always say, the gum isn't tough enough and I had to keep freezing it to get anything out of it. I find most brands have soy lecithin in it, which is horrible for arthritis of any kind and ingredients that mess with your gut, so I don't really recommend chewing gum to anyone anymore. There's a company called ark therapeutic that I think you would be interested in. They make chew toys for autistic children in varying grades of toughness. They won't come apart in the mouth, don't cause any digestive issues, don't contain any questionable ingredients and I think they are more than though enough to serve the purpose of chewing. I bought the Krypto-bite necklace and just cut off the tip so I could chew it like a wad of gum. I highly recommend this over gum.

I have permanent retention in my lower teeth. Can it interfere negatively with mewing? Could it be better to get it removed eventually, or will I have to live with it for the rest of my life? Unfortunately, I had horrible tongue posture and was a mouth-breather, so my teeth were very misplaced. During my teenage years, I got braces and my teeth look fine, but now I'm dissatisfied since I learned about the importance of having the proper tongue posture so late.

Miguel Mendes i think Orthotropics is the way to maintain the perfection gotten by the braces. In this video for example, dr. Mew says that the underlying problem is the incorrect position of the tongue that causes the bad positioning of the teeth. So if you want to maintain the results gotten after your orthodontics, you’ve gotta do the Orthotropics.

I read about Dr. Mew and followed on and off since 2013 but I thought it was kinda late for me since they took my braces off two years prior and also extracted my premolars for this. After braces I noticed a big (negative) change in my face. That's why Dr. Mew made a lot of sence to me. With the years though I just got worse, my body got used to it and positioned my head in a different way so I can breathe better my lower teeth all formed an inverted U cause tongue is pushing down. Anyways, I heard that because I don't have enough space in my palate mewing is risky for me. What can I do? Is there a solution for me other than surgery?

[@Myllkka]

Dr.Mew, please answer me: My four front teeth are more apart than I would like. I mew naturally, the problem is: my teeth seem to be more apart. But I don't want to wear braces because I really enjoy my jaw and face shape. Should I stop mewing? Is there something I could do to make my front teeth less apart? I hope I explained it well.

At 1:40 to 1:48. Dr. Mew says that he recommends permanent retention when treating adults, meaning he would rather for adults to wear retainers for the rest of their life instead of mewing to prevent any further recession as if adults are just hopeless? This doesn't make any sense... From all the vids that Mike Mew has on retainer use and mewing, he gives no actual clear or non-vague answers... How many times do people have to ask you this, do we ditch retainer use forever or do we use a fixed retainer behind our top teeth and will ditching the retainers cause us to have your teeth shift back to their original crowded form before braces even if we mew? Why can you not answer this!? It has been asked so many different times by your fans and the videos you have on this question are extremely vague, have sometimes contradicting statements and no actual clear or concise answers.

I have recently seen a dentist who has proposed a 2 phase treatment plan: 1. Phase 1 - Braces and ALF appliance (to correct bite) 2. Phase 2 - Myofunctional therapy and myobrace appliance to correct tongue posture etc. My question/concern is around the sequencing of this proposal. Would it not be best to undergo myofunctional therapy first? I believe his logic for starting with braces and ALF is that I need my palate expanding to make room for the tongue to rest up there.

He said it was weird the this started this early in my treatment.

[@the_true_hier_to_the_sharingan]

hey how did it go? I had a similar case

[@phowwi4344]

so do i wear my retain or not and mew?

[@igniii3348]

I've been unconsciously mewing when I had braces, before even knowing this channel XD lol

[@mornoe5069]

Good results?

[@Stexxbax]

Same lol, 3 years of having braces and when i found out about mewing i found out that ive been mewing 3 years from 14-17, guess it wasnt just puberty that contributed to my jaw! Still have them tho, should be taking off soon, if anybody wants to see my results from having braces (Corrected my teeth and tongue posture) id be happy to show it to you on discord sxxmi#6933

[@noxan1487]

seexmi hey I added you on discord my name is me-111 mind answering a couple questions about mewing and braces ?

[@bloop3730]

stephen could you show me your results

[@kori228]

Same, my teeth were never horribly bad before, just the lower canines slipped in front of the incisors and slightly crooked front teeth. Haven't worn my retainers for months now, and my teeth have barely shifted. Still not perfect though, I can tell my back teeth are tilted due to lack of space and I don't think my wisdom teeth will fit.

My braces caused scoliosis and the effin dentist had extracted on tooth on my lower jaw

[@bb-mu4df]

@obese woman If you have deviated jaws, the rest of the body will follow that deviation like a dominoe effect. The body works from head to toe by "nature" in symmetry. For this reason people start to have all kind of symptoms. The gateway to health is in the mouth, 90% of peoples chronic problems actually are coming from the mouth. You can tell by the way you look at their face, which tells a lot of things. Have a look in the comments in this youtube video for more information m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoq6kmScqM-dgLM

[@bb-mu4df]

@obese woman braces won't fix the bite, they only make your teeth straight.

[@EugeneFrank47]

This is exactly what happened to me! I had body tension and anxiety that was getting out of control for no reason and then I finally realized that my permanent retainer in my bottom teeth could be the cause after years of wearing it. I realized that it was shutting off the left side of my face, so when it was removed, my left facial muscles suddenly turned on, and I could control my mind and body with ease but at a price. My left teeth contact harshly now, but I’m hoping I can figure it out so that my jaw can close properly where it wants to, which allows the rest of my body to be in perfect posture and not in pain. I’ve also been able to see and hear in “3D” on occasion which is awesome. Overall, it’s just hard to concentrate anymore because my teeth don’t really contact properly and so my tongue can’t rest on my mouth top like it instinctively wants to. I hate that I didn’t even get a choice but was forced to get braces, a permanent retainer, and my wisdom teeth removed...

[@sagewolf_6187]

Can braces help in hollow cheeks ?

[@mewa3263]

Been mewing for 3 years or so. It doesn't help get rid of facial fat pads, but it will help with defining the cheek bones giving you broader structure that will overpower chubbier cheeks over time. "Hollow cheeks" are genetic or a sign of malnutrition/fast metabolism, even guys with poor developed facial structure will have hollow cheeks if they are scrawny enough.

@@Taylor_Made_Music I broke them while I was still seeing the doctor. He took the glue and the metal rings off. The head doctor said: "I don't know who thought it was a good idea to put a second 'brace' in your pallate, but it's a good thing I remove them now."

[@anamikabharali678]

I have had braces twice (after relapse). I have experienced a relapse again (my doctor didn't let me have permanent retainers). so will mewing help revert the relapse?

No. You should have worn retainers.

should one clench his/her teeth for faster jaw development or just chew hard food?

[@Desiqnify]

Don't clench your teeth

[@gemgabriel2660]

so how would one develop the jaw?

[@xuisd_385]

make your teeth lightly touch

[@gemgabriel2660]

so by lightly contacting teeth and proper tongue poster the jaw would widen? or should you also chew hard foods and gum?

[@xuisd_385]

yeah from what ive learned from these videos, chewing hard gum and correct tongue posture with your teeth lightly touching will strengthen your jaw and widen your palate, providing space for crowded teeth and i guess making you more attractive.
