Probably the most effective way of having a jawline more defined is going down on bodyfat percentage. First time I saw mewing I thought right away that even if it worked to an extent, one would already need to have a decently formed jawline to begin with.

I started it purely because it's still proper tongue posture and would encourage nose breathing as opposed to mouth breathing. I already had a decent jawline though. I've done it for about a year (started around when I turned 20) and have noticed minimal jawline changes that could have also just been a result of dropping my bfp following fitness and nutrition goals. It's also worth noting that the posture itself pulls the area under your jaw in a little as well as closing your jaw to the point where your teeth are almost touching squares your face more. If you take a side look at your face in the mirror and switch between holding the posture and fully relaxing it you can see what I mean. I've trained it to the point where I believe I still hold the posture when I'm asleep (fall asleep holding the tongue/jaw posture and wake up still holding it) which has forced me to breath out of my nose while I sleep, leading to better sleep and my throat doesn't dry out in dryer seasons from mouth breathing. If I'm congested though it can be hard to fall asleep because I have to break the posture a little to breath out of my mouth. Overall I think it's been mildly beneficial, took about 4 days to hold it without thinking about it, I don't regret it. The largest benefit has been the nose breathing. I also don't over chew. I would be interested in seeing a large scale study on how effective it is when you start in childhood but good luck convincing kids to try to hold the posture every day, many already sit like gargoyles.

For people who don't believe in mewing, I started mewing around 15 and not even a year in, everyone commented on how my face changed drastically, for the better (I also tracked my changes with pictures). My posture got better even though I didn't pay any attention to it. Mewing has been life changing for me. There is no peer reviewed research on mewing on anything, but there is overwhelming evidence on mewing does actually works. And I'm forever grateful I found mewing when I was young, the health benefit of improved airway and better posture is priceless. Also note that this is only my personal experience, I cannot speak for everyone else. And what makes a face attractive is forward growth, you can have good jawline without forward growth and it still won't look good.

My daughter is six and is in oral/facial myology therapy with a speech therapist, as well as physical therapy for congenital hypotonia that affects her posture. A lot of the exercises to improve her breathing and swallowing are similar to the mewing techniques. She is six, though. So in theory, starting this young, she will be able to improve her breathing and swallowing. I discovered mewing after researching my daughter’s needs. It’s interesting that oral/facial myology therapy IS now being used with children. I think it’s a good thing that we now have awareness of breathing posture and exercises to increase our proprioception of oral/facial muscles.

Ironically, to make the jawline look SNATCHED, the loss of body fat percentage, Tretinoin 0.05% cream, sunscreen, and anything designed to keep elastin and collagen production high will work far better after 1 year than mewing ever could in an adult lifetime. Barring that, there's extreme surgery. It helps to have good genetics and facial bone structure to begin with.

I've been practicing proper tongue posture and pushing my tongue towards the roof of my mouth for about 4-6 years, long before it was a tiktok trend, starting around age 16-18. I've noticed almost zero changes in my jawline, however my jaw pops less, and I don't feel like I have to pull my jaw back so far to close my teeth together. My permanent retainer came out at the age of 19, almost 3 years ago, and I lost the upper removable retainer very soon after getting my braces removed at 16. I've had almost no malocclusion and have not had any teeth or jaw issues since. I believe practicing orthotropics is partially responsible for my positive results without retainers while my jaw finished developing. On the other hand, over time my jawline has become less defined. the culprit? weight gain. body fat %. if you want a more defined jawline, lose facial fat, and push the back of your tongue up towards your soft palette while moving your larynx up when at rest (the last part is an immediate change, you'll also notice an adams apple shift up if you have one. I've done this for years from when I was overweight as a kid to hide a double chin. it's entirely voluntary muscle positioning, no bone changes or muscle hypertrophy exercises needed, just simple facial posture). Any "looksmaxing" claims are likely BS.

I noticed that over the past two years I was clenching my jaw VERY tightly in varying positions during sleep, and it would often wake me up, at which point I would take note of it. (Sometimes clenching to the right, sometimes to the left, sometimes center and down.) I have recently implemented this mewing tongue-placement technique and it now comes automatically to me at night, whether I am asleep or just reading and relaxing in bed. It has been a game-changer in that regard. When I was clenching I was having horrendous jaw fatigue and buzzing sensations during the day that were extremely uncomfortable and sometimes distressing, due to the strange sensations it caused in my head, neck and jaw. It has now become automatic, all with very little practice! It will be interesting to see what, if any other changes, over time present themselves. ;0)

The tongue position is not the harmful part of mewing. The chewing part is what the bullshit. I have a natural defined jawline and I've always kept my tongue on the roof of my mouth. The thing about tongue position you dont have to overthink it, what I mean is that you dont have to push your tongue to your palate. Just keep it there, the natural swallowing will cause a vacuum which will push your tongue against your roof. Now this doesn't sound much, but the tongue is stronger than you would think. Every swallow causes the tongue to push against the palate with a 2.5kg of force, this is actually factual look it up. Now 1000x2.5kg of force daily is could be strong enough. Also you have to wear a jaw aid, to make your mouth shut during sleep, to force you breath through your nose. Will this change your face? Not sure. Cause I don't think there is a proper study on this with adults that finished developing, above 20-25. And youtube and tiktok shorts are not studies, just anecdotes. 3/4 of those "proofs" are just shitty angle changes and losing weight. Most of the definition you want you would get with losing fat percentage anyway. I know this personally cause when I was 22 I had 14-15% now I have 25% body fat and I lost my definition cause I gain fat to my face first. So it's still there I just have to lose weight.

It's important not to confuse the widespread trend, and whatever influencers are doing, with what the Mews are saying and doing. On social media the fad to ruin your jaw joint to look slightly better is strongly against what the Mews are advocating for. As you said, their main disclaimer is that mewing has limited effect for adults, especially without applying it properly, with a professional. What they are strongly advocating for is children to use mewing (often with appliances) to avoid irreversible and possibly damaging operations. A lot of their exercises are just generally healthy, and make you pay attention to things that matter for other than looks. For example they have an exercise where you tilt your head a bit forward (from neutral) and tuck your chin in: a lot of people, especially ones that work on computers, often have their head in the opposite of that position (tilt head backward, and push their head forward), which of course leads to neck and backpain. Same for tongue posture. I think all (at least most) the negatives you said here were addressing problems with the popular trend, not what Mewing is actually about. Which from one perspective is fair and evne good, because more people are exposed to the trend than to the content Mike Mew and his team, but with that you also necessarily misrepresent mewing, and orthotropics in general. I'm not even advocating for orthotropics, I have no idea about it, but it seems like it's consistently attacked, misrepresented and/or disregarded for no good reasons. Unfortunately it's also used and advocated for because of the wrong reasons, like on many social media channels.

It was a great surprise for me to learn (some time ago) that not everyone just rests their tongue at the roof of their mouth. I mean, when the mouth is closed, there is just enough space inside to squish the tongue in the mouth cavity, it takes all the space! And it takes some force to curl it inside or do anything else besides let it lie there. So it sounded weird. But at the same time tongue placement sounds just like mouth posture, so there may be some truth in that. Tongue positioning during formative age probably does influence face growth, so there must be a little truth to that. I don't think you can easily make a child swallow correctly, for example. So... yeah. Sounds like mewing is just misapplied.

As someone who's done face yoga for several years, where mewing is a part of it, I can say when I stop doing it, jowling starts again and my face goes south for the winter. So in terms of teaching you facial muscle awareness and correcting your posture overall it's amazing (as face yoga teaches you, just like regular yoga, to sit up tall and roll your shoulders back, don't hunch etc.) . I used to have such a tight jaw that it dragged my right side down significantly more than the left. I can feel the difference as I used to grind my teeth on my left side. I also noticed improvement to my neck and cheeks being higher when I worked on relaxing the muscles in the face that are propagandistically pulling my face DOWN. BUT I have always had a strong jaw and a cut side profile. No mewing or face yoga is going to get someone that. It will simply tighten and tone facial muscles, or relax them if you focus on that. That's it. And it takes being consistent a few minutes daily.

As someone who lives in a very cold climate, this not really true. Children here are always taught NOT to breathe with their mouth open, since it's actually the opposite - breathing through the nose the air has a chance to warm up, breathing through the mouth it doesn't and you're way more likely to end up with a sore throat / bad cough.

I was suffering with sleeping issues for decades. I’ve mewed the past 1.5 to 2 weeks, I’m having major sleep improvements including waking up energized and dreaming or remembering that I had dreams. I don’t feel more room for my tongue and it still requires a lot of effort to “force” my tongue into position and keep it there. But every day I see progress which is working even while sleeping. Remarkable.

I'm really curious about your thoughts regarding the argument that mewing is not necessarily about directing skeletal growth, but of repositioning what is already there. Dr. Mew talks about the bones in the palate not being fused together, making this possible. One observation he makes that I found striking is the effect of loss of muscle control in the bone structure in some people. Specifically, he mentions the distortion in facial structure suffered by Stephen Hawking as his condition deteriorated. The onset of his illness began as he already was a "fully formed" adult whose bone growth had stopped. Still, one can see the extreme distortion of his face due to the repositioning of the bones. This raises the question, if bones can be change position that way, can't they also change position for the better? Thanks for your videos, I very much enjoy your channel!

I just recommend moderate exercise and diet control. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking you have to swing to extremes to get lasting results; you don't. You don't have to train like an Olympic athlete to lower your body fat percentage and keep it down. A casual gym routine with just a little bit of self-restraint in the diet will do wonders for you. You'll look better, but more importantly, you'll considerably lower your odds -- or at least mitigate the effects of -- many of the conditions which bedevil us in old age. There may not be much you can do to reshape your jawline short of surgery, but even a less than ideal jaw can look well above average on someone who is healthy and lean.

It's like getting an old, rusty, beat up car saying you'll change the broken bumper and that will make the car look a lot better. You take a picture of "before." Overhaul the whole vehicle with a bunch of different procedures, then take the "after" picture. "Notice the huge difference," you say, "My new bumper makes this car look a lot better, isnt it?"

If anyone is suffering from TMJ learn to mew and stay away from chewing exercisers.

I tried mewing back in 2016 when I was like 14 years old, and it really helped define my jaw, also I was pretty fit back then so I did see a difference while maintaining a healthy body weight. However, I only did it for a couple months to a year, then I stopped. I'm not really insecure about how I look so I wasn't really bothered to continue. But, after that I had Invisalign for 2 years, and after I was done, they told me like they tell everyone else to wear your retainers every night, for the rest of your life. So, that's what I've been doing. They were pretty straight for a while after I was done with Invisalign, but now not so much. When I was younger, I also had to wear an appliance at the roof of my mouth to expand my upper teeth because they were narrow. It worked, but I realize that when I try to mew now, it's a bit hard to fit my tongue comfortably. So, I want to start mewing again in hopes that it could potentially expand my palette again, and to also not rely on my retainers for straight teeth, when my tongue (in theory) can keep the shape from becoming crooked and overcrowded. My breathing has always been fine. Also, I've been having issues with my hip for a couple of years. I did some physical therapy last summer for a couple months and that stretches helped only a little. My doctor told me I will never be 100% pain free, but it shouldn't stop me from exercising. I feel uncomfortable to push myself exercising now, so I feel very unhappy at times. I did a lot of research on why my hip is misaligned in the first place. Recently, I found out that the hips and jaw or connected, which made me have a revelation. My jaw is misaligned, so are my teeth, so are my hips, everything is starting to make sense. Yeah, obviously my posture is bad too. But it's not so easy to correct as I thought it was, it's more than just doing stretches everyday, it's about correcting bad habits that have caused the posture in the first place. Like sitting in office chairs all day on your computer, which is what I do for my job. So, I doubt mewing will actually have a significant positive impact on my health, but I'm going to try whatever I can at this point. Stretching, and correcting bad habits (making lifestyle changes) to improve posture and asymmetry in my body.

I can confirm that what mewing did for me is stopping my regular nosebleeds. Mewing "seals" your mouth-breathing and forces you to breath through your nose exclusively, wich in time made it work as intended. My sleep quality also improved.

Funnily enough, I have always held my tongue against the roof of my mouth. It just always felt weird doing it any other way for whatever reason, but I also eventually developed such overactive masseter muscles that their size and tightness became a massive issue. So much so that as an adult they got so strong, I could barely open my mouth wider than a child's mouth range (I discovered this when I went in for a procedure and they went to put a breathing tube in my mouth and the guard to protect my teeth was was too big (adult size) and the child size was almost too big as well. The increase in size and strength of my masseter muscles also (unknown to me as it took me years to figure out what was even going on - I did not even know there were muscles called Masseter, haha) was causing migraines, tension headaches, severe jaw pain, ear ringing, interrupted sleep, teeth grinding, and even severe clenching during times that I should not have been clenching, not to mention the worst of it was when the muscles would cramp up and then one would overpower the other pulling my entire jaw to one side or the other, also forcing my mouth closed with me actively having to fight against it. I went to see someone about the muscles and to hopefully get help and when they saw the size and tension of them, they were shocked, and they have dealt with patients for this before. I ended up having to have Botox injected into each muscle to bring down the size and strength and it was almost instant (within a few days at most) the change in all the issues I listed above. I basically said all that to say, I personally would be careful working out the masseter muscles, haha, as the fact that mine did whatever they did and caused me so many issues and so much pain due to their size,, strength, and constant tension for years was a horrible experience.

Been mewing for a while, mainly for posture improvements and have experienced some improvements. But it's really nothing like the orthotropics nerds claim it to be, lol. You can't mew and expect all your dental and facial problems to be fixed. Mewing is really just correct tongue posture, and most people are probably mewing without knowing it, but it can be improved even further by learning and practicing the proper technique. It's really nothing crazy like some people are claiming but it's still worth to learn imo. It's kind of the same as keeping a straight back with shoulders back, it's just good posture.

Years ago I actually googled "change your face" and mewing came up because I had noticed as did Dr Mew that bones morph over time. If they morph naturally then they can be guided which is why keeping my mouth closed and tongue pressed firmly on my palate not only reduced my open bite but also opened my nasal passages allowing for far easier breathing during sleep. It didn't happen over night but actually took a year or so before I actually saw good results.

I did orthotropics as a kid because i was a mouth breather and my mouth didn't grow because of poor tongue placement. I think it did work but it took 2 years for my 2 front teeth to overlap *less*. I ended up with braces and a palate expander as a teenager and that was much more effective/painful.

Now in orthatropics they START with the palat expander and then do the rest of it. So that you are expanded by 7 or 8 years old.

a lot of people that are making mewing content DONT HAVE A RECESSED JAW. I have a very recessed jaw, I literally look like the diagram at the beginning they show. I’ve been told surgery is my only option but I’m incredibly afraid to do that cuz I have always had uncontrollable vommitting after anesthesia. I can’t imagine what would happen if my mouth was wired shut. So im gonna give it a go and see what happens, probably won’t turn into a model but if I can maybe get rid of the pocket below my lips where my chin should be but isn’t that’d be cool! And if I still end up needing surgery, it’d be nice to not need as dramatic a move!

I'm 59 and I've been mewing for about three years now. If anything, I've gone from having multiple chins that my daughter used to make fun of to one chin. I grew a beard to hide my chins. I've now shortened and reshaped my beard to accentuate my jawline now that I have one. I can't say that my jawbone has changed shape, but I can feel it's sharper. My wife touched it recently and exclaimed "What's that?". It was the back of my jaw bone. As for breathing I have noticed it does feel clearer when mewing. It just seems feels obstructed; not that I had a problem with breathing before. Even if the shape of my jawbone is not changing, like any workout that targets one area of the body, it does have an impact on reducing the fat that's hanging around it. Mewing does no harm, so I'll keep going. I don't think I will ever chew a dog toy though, and chewing gum loses its flavour too quickly, but I am eating more chewable red meat and less soft foods.

I actually heard of a different version of this much earlier. Ill give you my take on this whoever is interested. Ive read that its constant pressure of the tongue on the roof, same as this current version, as well as constant teeth on teeth contact, that encourages a better looking face. Teeth on teeth contact means that you keep your jaw closed and teeth touching each other, but youre not supposed to clench it. Just keep the mouth closed. Ive always had a large tongue, large enough that if I opened my mouth and relaxed, it would cover my lower teeth with a little to spare. If I relaxed my mouth when not moving it, naturally my tongue would push my teeth apart slightly and basically rest on the sharp points of my teeth. This would give me ulcers and was painful. Thus I always semi consciously closed/slightly clenched my teeth to ensure that there were no gaps. I would also sort of like gather my tongue in the middle of my mouth to avoid pushing on my teeth too much. Since the tongue has to go somewhere, I kept it pressed on the roof of my mouth. When I slept, I always drool. So to counter this, if I slept on my stomach I would basically put something under my jaw to force my mouth shut. I basically did this my entire life, even before reading about this. As compared to my other 2 brothers as well as the general public, I have a strong jawline. Is it an incredibly strong jawline? No, but likely above average. What I did have was a very good set of teeth. I didnt have to wear braces at all and I only removed 1 set of wisdom teeth (I regret only removing one set). I will say this though, your teeth are quite malleable. Especially if they grow out of position due to the pressure throughout it (like having wisdom teeth pop out). I found that when my teeth start to grow out of shape, clenching them for a decent period of time did put them back into shape more, and the change does last quite some time. It is more effective to clench a little over a long period of time though, and clenching them hard for a short period of time hurts the teeth so I do not recommend doing it too hard. Just constant pressure through the day. Thus for this mewing thing, I do believe the tongue on roof thing to a certain extent. I do believe it does help a little, but I dont think its going to help a lot. Dont expect miracles. Just like if you do a bunch of bicep curls, the skeleton of your arm will not start twisting and changing shape. Same here. Exercising your facial muscles wont mysteriously make it twist and change shape. For teeth however, I think chewing on a dog toy will basically put unequal pressure on your teeth. Over time, I think the teeth will become more unequal and basically I think it fks up the teeth.

sealing the tongue to the upper palate is called khechari mudra. it has been a practice in yoga and helps to breath through the nostrils and to better recruit the diaphragm. honestly yoga always sees everything first.

Like most things - the truth is probably in the middle. Though there doesn't seem to be much for adulthood, there appears to be some truth from childhood. Researching childhood development and resting location of the tongue vs facial structure vs tooth alignment, it appears that there is a noted difference in those that are more nose breathers, as they tend to rest the tongue on the roof of the mouth when the mouth is closed, and the teeth tend to need less orthodontic alignment vs counterparts. Theories I've found in different studies range from constant pressure of the tongue against the roof and against the backs of the teeth maintain alignment and press the jaw out during development, vs it being genetic, and due to existing facial alignment favoring tongue placement (and teeth alignment),

We’re getting closer to unlocking the intersection of various things. Hopefully the excitement of mewing will lead to interest in chi gung and the microcosmic orbit. Then from there lymphatic massage, the third eye, and stimulation of the vegus nerve. Yoga, cold showers, saunas, mewing/breath work, and the usual suspects of diet/exercise and mindfulness is a fantastic recipe. So close to the next phase of mass human actualization being “common sense” practices. Very happy/excited to see these conversations.

A summary of the information is that after 16 the bones in the face are generally done growing/moving, so mewing will not be as effective in adulthood/past the age of 16 as before that cutoff point. However, important to take what he says with a grain of salt as he is an employed plastic surgeon by the looks of it. Regardless; mewing wont hurt and can perhaps at the very least improve your confidence through placebo. Forgot to mention, he also states that there is a bone in the neck and it's position can determine how "fat" the bottom of someones chin/jaw may look. Mewing seems to raise this bone as it is connected to the bottom, which could help reduce a "fat" neck.

Face shape most definitely changes as you get older, for me at least. In my teens and twenties I had a longer more slender looking face with little jaw definition, but when I hit my mid thirties my jawline began to get wider, now my face is much more square looking in shape, with a more defined jaw. I've stayed around the same weight, so that's not the change and I've never done any of this mewing, so I don't know what changed it or why. In my mid thirties I did start strength training and swapped to higher protein diet, so perhaps that had something to do with it.

I haven't watched yet, but I believe it can help teeth as my young dog had his teeth alignment checked at his check-up and the vet said to try getting a Kong rubber toy not too small to go in his mouth and choke, but not too big(curve of the ball had to line up with his canines) and try to have him chew on it on the front teeth for 10-15 minutes a day to push his teeth for a better alignment.
