[@JesusChrist5000]

I discovered Dr. Mew's videos at age 45. I then began taking his tongue posture advice in earnest, as well as chewing gum and/or eating raw carrots every day. I am 49 now, and I would estimate my lower face has come forward about 3 mm in the past 4 years. My lips are a bit fuller, and my profile looks subtly better. My teeth are definitely much easier to floss. By the way, my dental history is that I had 4 teeth pulled and braces installed when I was 14. Up until age 45, I had NO tongue posture whatsoever. My tongue did not touch the maxilla at all. Now, after practicing Mew's advice, I even wake up in the morning with full tongue posture. So i have gotten to the point of having good tongue posture even in my sleep (i think). I will continue with chewing exercises and tongue posture, because yes, you can make a difference, even if you come to this late in life.

Well you can even try to tell family and they will not be too happy with you for sharing this. Why? Because while we say it's okay to go gaga over some model, it's apparently "wrong" to look good ourselves. In lower income areas we are basically told the opposite of what is true and are not to believe anyone who tells us are problems aren't always about money. Or that answers to problems are not always 10s of thousands of dollars to fix. It's weird. You'd think they be thrilled to find solutions to their problems but they demonize answers and solutions. More than that they are highly sensitive to the truth of any thing. It's funny because while the mainstream religion demands we not "want" there is a verse which basically says wanting is okay. In fact, it asks that you ask so that you can be happy. I know. Crazy right?

[@mikemew5425]

Top tip; This video is one of the most important that I have made to date and I am recommending this to all of my patients. I've a few new ideas and will post a video on them when I have time. One thing is to watch the area above your throat, at the junction of your neck and jaw. WHen you raise the back of your tongue correctly this area should rise up reducing any "double chin" at this point. You should see the loose skin rise up to give a much better definition to this area. Work on it, it is not easy, and it takes years of hard work to make a difference. Mike

[@noahm1379badazz]

I've been trying this and experimenting with this for about a year now. I have figured out a few tricks that help drive that back third of the tongue up as he was describing in this video. First, I'd advise looking in a mirror and breathing in deeply with your mouth open like you are yawning to see how the soft palette lifts up and back when the airway is really relaxed and open. Ultimately, you want to use the back third of your tongue and emulate this position at all times. As far as driving the tongue back into this position, I have found breathing in through your nose while imagining you are saying the word gunk does the trick. The g sound drives your tongue into the soft palette. The n sound while help get the front of your tongue up in the right place. The k sound also helps with opening the airway and pushes your tongue into the front part of the soft palette, the spot in front of the uvula while the vowel uh supports and open airway and deep breathing. I found it helpful the bite down while doing this as it really, really helps drive the back of the tongue into the correct position. It feels like the front part of my tongue is sucked on the roof of my mouth, pulling down towards my throat while the back part and my jaw muscles push up with equal force. It helps if you place your finger right above the Adams apple to really feel the tongue moving up and out of the way. If you are doing this correctly, you cannot cross your eyes, no matter how hard you try. If you can do this, you'll feel your tongue moving and you will need to add more suction. It is also important to put your lips together like you are saying m and slightly raise your eyebrows and squint your eyes to help the tongue get up high enough to give your eyes more support. Another way to think of it is kind of like you are dry heaving and you have to bite down to suppress the urge to gag. It might trigger the gag reflex a bit when you first start but it goes away pretty fast if you work on this consistently. It will feel like the back of your throat is being stretched a bit and might feel a bit sore at first but you get used to it after working on it for a while. Give it time and you will notice a difference in how you feel and look. I am very happy I came across these videos as they have quite literally changed my life.

[@noahm1379badazz]

Also, try leaning your head back while doing this. That also really, really helps

[@isaiahdavis7564]

For those of you who can’t breathe when u put your tongue up to the soft pallet, the guy explains at 2:28 (although it’s kind of hard to understand) that holding your breath is very similar to pushing your tongue up to the pallet. If u can’t breath, it means your pushing into the soft pallet to much with your tongue causing it to block the airway. Instead u need to find the sweet spot where you are pushing into the soft pallet without blocking your airway. Also, if u get more of an overbite when doing this, it means your tongue is pushing more into the hard pallet (the bumpy part on the inside above your teeth) which is incorrect. There are some comments here that can help u get your tongue in the right position.

[@mayorcherry5964]

Ok for all of those people who don’t understand a thing what he is saying, he is trying to tell you this: Keep your tongue at the roof of your mouth, and if you want to check if you are doing it correctly here is how. Open your mouth while keeping your nose plugged, if you can’t breathe with your mouth you are doing it correctly. It also removes your double chin. After doing it for a long time it will just be there naturally and there is no thing to worry about. You will have better jawline and cheekbones. Your profile will look nicer.

Try swallowing, pause, don't let ur tongue drop and hold it in place. This forces your tongue to flaten at the top of you mouth without touching your teeth. And it pushes the back of your tongue(the part closest to your uvula) up aswell. It'll be hard for you to breath at first.

[@merncat75]

Basically just press the back half of your tongue to the roof of your mouth with the tip of your tongue gently resting just behind your front teeth without touching your teeth make sure your mouth stays closed so that you're not biting your tongue and let your tongue spread out across the roof of your mouth while pressing upward. I realized the reason I thought I was doing it wrong also is because of how uncomfortable and awkward it is since our mouths are not used to it it does take time and will feel like you are choking at first.

Most people have a “normal” tongue, too. You’re lucky not really in the normalcy of your tongue, but rather that you have a habit of placing it correctly inside your mouth.

Thank you! I have been putting my full tongue on my palette.

I am feeling that my own tongue is a great palpating tool for my own CranioSacral Rhthym. I can feel it as I am walking, doing dishes, driving on a highway, sitting here at the computer. I can create a still point by using my tongue rather than my hands as the tool. I think it may create good communication between my enteric brain, nervous system, bones and fascia.The anterior part of the palette is the two maxilla bones and the posterior part of the hard palette is the two palitine bones. The soft palette is the vomer and the medial pterygoid of the sphenoid. Have fun with this!

Mewing is legit!!! I’ve been trying to do the tongue posture thing, then I watched some videos of Astro Sky and I understood it. I have the whole tongue up on the roof of the mouth and I do a tongue sweep every time I swallow. My cheek bulges are like half of what they were and they’re even starting to become hollow, so my face seems more square-ish. My cheekbones are definitely more defined and I feel like my face has a harmony that it didn’t have before. Also, in the beginning it was really irritating having to remind myself to do all that but once you get that posterior third up and you swallow correctly it’s really easy to keep doing it and it feels really good too. It took me approximately 3-4 months to get the tongue posture and I saw results 1-2 months after (I’m 18 btw). But be careful, if you’re doing it wrong, for example if you suck your teeth in order to swallow you’re not going to have the results you want, just be very careful that you’re doing the correct thing. I’m really grateful I found this channel.

Sir You are a genius. You make me proud to be a dentist. Very well explained.

[@iskanderen659]

@@wepple123 there is nothing such as a huge tonuge. if you pull all the teeth of a patient the tongue expands (or gets bigger). size of tongue is contained by teeth. stress causes you to pull your tongue back, hence causing empty space between lower front teeth and tongue. later teeth move back due to forces as if you had braces. Now the space available for the tongue is smaller. now they have a solution for sleep apnea based on a sensor that detects your breathing and can stimulate your tongue to be pushed forwards everytime it goes back

SIMPLE EXPLANATION: first put the front of your tongue some 0,5-1 cm from your front teeth. then, start to lift the back of your tongue up. dont suck it use muscle force. go as high as your can till the back. then start moving your tongue a little bit forward and back, till you found a position where you suddenly start to breath deep through your belly and suddenly fid it more comfortable to sit up with a straight spaine instead of your head forward. this is the extremely simple explanation, might take you a few days or trial and error to find that exact right tongue position. just try oit and experiment a bit. the breath and spine thing is the hardest to find. look for noahs malms post below, save it in a notecard, he has a more elaborate cheklist to see if you do it right. this is the simple explanation to get started. when you get this right for awhile and get the breath and spine thing, use his checklist to see if you do it exactly right. every morning it takes me a bit of trying to get that exact pose, but doesnt takes long anymore. both your face will start to improve and your will get rid of health issues or you will prevent them. will prevent a lot of the getting uglier as you age or will improve it. gets you rid or mental issues, depression anxiety too if you get the maxzilla wider. importan to do it exactky right for the best effect. im 38 and it still works. also had atlasprofilax done to get rid of scoliosis. only do it with a real atlaxprofilax professional, had 5 other people do it too after i had good results. one tried a cheap "other" method it did not work. when he did go to a real atlaxprofilax trained professional he got rid of his whiplash issues. what ive seen from the health issues this can cause it depends a lot on your type of facial deformity.

Does anyone else tongue ache when trying to do this? Also I feel as though I can only get half my tongue to touch the top of my mouth, I can't seem to get the back end of my tongue to touch the top of my mouth...

[@ariapriska7921]

Boo Baa , i have been doing this for a year now, it is normal to feel this tongue ache because the tongue muscles are not used to this kind of effort. I am an yoga practitioner and there is a mudra in yoga that teaches you to "plaster" the tongue all the way on the palate. In addition to what the doctor mentioned i am using tongue exercises for my students with sag under the chin. Tongue muscles are responsible for the dreaded double chin. I have also noticed that the patients who breathe through their mouth, keeping the tongue down in the mouth, have a tendency to double chin or at least an unpleasant look under the chin. It works.

[@SOVLWAVE]

How long am i suppose to do this? 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 1 hour? Because I don't think i can do it in long succesion.

[@MrJakeyyy]

DVCE P. - I too struggled bad at first. It was like my tongue was aching so bad. Now I can hold it there all day long and my tongue doesn't ache at all. The tongue is a muscle, you need to strengthen it. After a while you won't even notice that it's there.

[@SOVLWAVE]

Been doing this for 2 weeks and yes it doesn't hurt now. I'm already used to it, but I think my overbite is getting worse haha.

[@pieterv.6239]

I think i have the same problem, it looks and feels like my overbite is getting worse. Maybe its because I swallow more than before because of this, and when I swallow I still suck on my teeth instead of on the palate.

+Erica Logan I Was to one last week he recomended me to stop having my tongue like this and told me it is supposed to be like a dead fish in the bottom of my mounth. So i started to try to relaxe it to the bottom of my mouth every oppurtunity for a few days but it just didnt feel comfortable and my tounge wanted to spring up. So i found out that it's not how it's supposed to be. Why would this asshole tell me that? Uneducated or wanna make money on selling me a splint? :S

I’ve genetically got a pretty strong jawline, but the tip of my tongue has always been rooted to the bottom of my mouth with a tongue tie since I was born so 20 years.

For people who can't breathe with their tongues against the soft pallet (very back part of the roof) use your index finger to press against it and slowly go further and further down the back with your finger pressed against it while trying to breathe through your nose this should help

[@ethancunningham3499]

Hey mr mew I been binging all your videos. Loving the information you and your dad have brung to discussion. I would like to add a couple thoughts aswell. I know from training the transversus abdominal muscle, the strengths are derived from pulling in your stomach to the back of your spine without relying on suction of the gut to do so. So with your insight I used the same principles keeping my entire tongue up without using suction to do so for added strength gains inside the face. Second I found I can get the entire back third of my tongue up and close my jaw in a good position while keep my airway’s completely open by pushing the end of my tongue forward toward the front teeth and expanding the whole tongue at the same time. Then I can also add a partial cheese smile swallow technique without breaking lip seal to pull the bottoms of the tongue up toward the roof of the mouth as well. Working on all of that bc it gets progressively harder the more steps you add to the posture training. Hopefully training in this way will show mass improvement over the weeks.

[@edwarda.tokash8166]

@@Smokingpineapples I've been able to widen my palate by 2mm but had to do less tongue exercises because one of my crowns came off. I plan on seeing a dentist in Baltimore that specializes in adult orthotropics to cure sleep apnea. Some of the benefits I've experienced are: no more grinding my teeth, neck pain is gone, my body posture is visibly improved, can breathe a bit better, and sleep quality is slightly improved. Consider that I'm also using my thumbs to put pressure on the sides of the back of my palate at least a few times a week. And I've also been trying to keep my tongue in an acceptable position when I sleep. The beginning was tough but it's all much easier to do now. Even my dentist has commended me for my progress so far.

[@Lamelalinho]

For anyone who doesn't know what to do: 1. Make a fake and cheesy smile and hold it 2. Swallow (hold the smile!) 3. Feel the tongue pushing against the top of your mouth, it will almost feel uncomfortable and tight in the back. This is where your tongue should be. If breathing feels slightly harder than usual you're on the right track.

You sir are a true genius. I am excited to see how this new positive yet disciplinary habit will change my appearance. Also, does this have a positive effect on the thyroid?

The method I use is. - Place your tongue-tip at the area behind your top front teeth, then smile while showing your teeth, then swallow and try to keep the back of the tongue up. You can immediately see your jawline getting more tight and flat underneath your chin, while you hold this posture.

I actually breath better when I can achieve this. And if I have my front teeth touching and tongue in the appropriate spot, I absolutely can feel it under my throat, in my cheek muscles, and I keep my head up easily.

[@MaggyBurrowes]

While it is very valuable to have such a clear endorsement for an efficient and effective tongue posture, this focus on effort is not so functional - when the tongue root releases and the spine reorganises - many ways to do this, none of them a "quick fix" as Dr Mew so rightly emphasises elsewhere - the tongue lifts naturally towards the palate, with no tendency to block the airway. This excellent teacher is one of many who present posture as something we have to do, when in fact the unnecessary tension that distorts our posture is something we need to learn to undo...

[@ikazur99]

Thank you so much i appreciate your vídeos a lot

[@ShaniTheBurningTree]

If anyone feels like they can’t breathe while mewing, you can always open your palate to breathe, think breathing back…towards the back of your neck. You can open your throat more and you will get used to having more real estate available to do this. Signed, a small jawed female.

[@svartberg123]

Got bad airflow through right nostril (due to deviated septum), but by getting the posterior tongue up I can breath deep and powerful even from that nostri! Obviously my tongue muscles are weak to keep it constantly but will strengthen them via exercises.

[@merncat75]

What you describe @ 3 minutes in is EXACTLY what happens in spines.. after a while the body becomes used to subluxations even though they are abnormal and cause SO many problems. That's why it takes multiple chiropractic adjustments for the spine to eventually start staying straight.. people don't understand this concept and think that Chiropractors are ripping them off by making them go back for multiple adjustments but what they don't understand is that the spine is not going to stay straight after only one or a few adjustments.. it takes months, sometimes even years
