mewing is one of the most talked about subjects pertaining to looksmaxxing and cephalometry, and naturally, as with all talked about things there will be misconceptions regarding it. the misconceptions that specifically surround mewing however, are mostly to do with the fact that the entirety of PSL userbase consists of retards who think themselves to be little fucking scientists, misinterpreting any and every word that comes out of mike mew's mouth as literal fact along with consistently stringing scientific buzzwords together without knowing what they mean, which, in turn makes real information nearly impossible to find. these things along with virtually nobody on the site having any educational background in biochemistry or mechanostat for verifying the validity and factual identity of posts paves way to a serious case of dunning kruger syndrome, perhaps birthing possibly one of the biggest and most well known potential scams on the planet.
mewing is NOT:
- pushing the back of your palate with your posterior third
- pushing the entirety of your roof with your tongue
- pushing solely the front of your palate with tip
- pushing in short, hard inconsistent bursts (hardmewing)
mewing has been, and always will be as stated by mike mew, straight head posture (frankfurt plane as in head over shoulders), tip of tongue pushing lightly on the ridge right before but not touching incisors, with a suction hold with your posterior third on your back palate but not on your soft palate so as to allow for full and efficient breathing 24/7.
how do you do it? it's simple in theory but practice makes perfect. you start performing a chin tuck and doing a full swallow, from there you should feel the suction on your back palate and soft palate and now here comes the hard part, you have to disengage the suction between your soft palate without disrupting the suction between the back of your hard palate. in order to do this you need to train yourself to raise your soft palate consciously (it becomes subconscious overtime) or else you won't be able to breathe. this video explains it in greater detail:
to understand why this is the ONLY and most efficient way of mewing requires basic knowledge of viscerocranial anatomy and basic physics 101./
first we need to understand that the maxilla is like a boat. you can shift it up or down on one side or the other with relative ease. the maxilla also comprises the temporomandibular joint and thus its movement has a profound effect on the mandible and also, to an extent, the neurocranium. the movement shown here is ideal since when you pull the back of the maxilla down, the back of the mandible (comprised of the gonion, ramus and condyle) also move down, your occlusal plane moves positively, your ramus becomes more pronounced, and your chin/jaw see a complete upswing and forward progression.
here is a case of completely unideal movement seen by the maxilla. pushing up on the back of your maxilla/palate serves to only increase your gonial angle, shift your occlusal plane negatively risking an open bite, shortening your ramus into your ear and fucking up your face. it's simple physics.
we tend to view our bodily parts and bones under the illusion that they are individual components (which assumes that if you were to modify one you would have negligible effect on the others), we've been taught to view our organs as separate entities which completely disregards the logic of cause and effect. the reality couldn't be further from the truth, our body is composed of a fascial net which in itself is comprised of various tissue and collagen covering all of our organs, bones, muscles forming an interconnectedness of sorts. this fractal form can be seen everywhere, from the insides of individual cells, to the networks of cells, to the structure of bones and organs, all the way to the entire human form: it’s just webs inside of webs, a fractal pattern on different scales which form the entire body. you cannot neglect one thing and expect the other to function unaccordingly.
mewing should be a standard, it shouldn't be preached, it should be taught at birth and learned how to be performed subconsciously at a young age. the issue here being however that the efficacy of mewing is exponentially reduced as you grow into your teens and early adulthood, so that when you hit your 20s, you can practically expect there only marginal changes from then out, and i mean marginal. don't expect any sort of large cosmetic changes apart from minor functional ones. the good news is that facepulling does the exact same thing - being part bending part suction. getting a facepuller shouldnt be up for debate either, everyone should get it. it's a mandatory looksmax. you simply can't see the same results from fillers or implants compared to an osteotomy or brute physical changes induced by a facebow. they don't compare. fillers and implants are temporary, they degrade bone, are unnatural and dont act as a part of environment whereas an osteotomy or learned force overtime becomes permanent, significant and far more convincing than any cosmetic surgery out there. if you aren't mewing or ordering a facebow you've already lost, you've reached the wall, in fact give up on looksmaxxing entirely.
TL;DR - push on the area right before your incisors and perform suction on the back of your palate. anything else is retarded and pure speculation
