“Shit title” idgaf, suck my balls.

Want to weed out the ADHD-driven, hyperactive zoomers anyways..
The Problem
A lot of normies out there are now aware about the effects of mewing, swallowing, and nose breathing.
All these parents will actively tell their child to put their tongue on the palate and push hard.
The only problem with this is it's not natural.
What I mean by that is, nowhere before in history would parents tell their child to actively do this. They'd naturally do it because they have been breastfed for long enough, they develop strong tongue muscles and proper posture.
Now we have to know our audience.
You tell a child to do something, they wont understand the bounds in which to do it... they might cheat, or do what they are supposed not to... and most these parents themselves do not know these bounds.
The issue that will arise, is a lot of these kids will unknowingly push on their upper incisors, creating an overjet/ open bite.
Telling a child to “push hard”, will eventually result in the tip bracing against the incisors while the mid‑tongue drops, which is exactly the scenario that promotes overjet/open bite and it'll fail to widen the palate.
The next generation we will have a lot of children develop overjets and open bites.
So how do you prevent this from happening to your own children?
Have them develop the tongue strength from breastfeeding ~ 3yrs. In addition to this they must think of it as a passive exercise.
Lots of papers have shown for ideal periodontal remodelling, you want your child to stay (in terms of intensity), in the single digit gram zone.
Ideally, 4-10g.
This will be reached naturally.
It makes sense if you think about it from an evolutionary perspective, that the most biologically efficient manner would be passive in nature, as it requires the least conscious input, so can be a shared universal experience.
Now I've got something else I want to talk about. I was thinking about making a different thread for this, but I'll add it here, so everyone reading this benefits... just make sure you and “Bump” this thread.
Mewing vs Swallowing
To allow for palatal expansion, force needs to be applied.
I covered above briefly the concept of do’s and dont’s concerning mewing, resting tongue posture… but you can also apply force via swallowing.
But which is better, and how much better is it?
Swallowing:
A child’s typical swallowing force is 50g.
It lasts for ~ 1s.
A child swallows ~ 1000 repetitions/day.
Total daily impulse would be: 50g x 1s x 1000 = 50,000 g*s
Mewing:
A child’s typical palatal rest force is (lower bound) 5g.
It lasts for ~ 16hrs = 57,600s. [Assuming not during sleep]
A child mews continuously through the day (more even distribution of force too).
Total daily impulse would be: 5g x 57,600s x 1 = 288,000 g*s
Even though the mewing force is an order of magnitude lower… the resting dorsum of the tongue will provide ~ 6x more total load / day, to the palate.
Avoid force towards the incisors + remember palate support > swallow force.
Slow and steady wins the race
