Purpose: This study was planned to clarify a negative view of chewing gum due to the concern that continuous gum chewing might cause a change in the gonial angle and make the lower facial appearance look square. Materials and Methods: We had 25 adults (13 males and 12 females, with an average of 27.3 years) chew 6 g of gum (spearmint) evenly with both right and left posterior teeth for one hour per day for three months. We then measured their gonial angle, the inclination of occlusal plane, facial height, bone marrow density, and masticatory force before chewing, 1, 2, and 3 month after chewing to verify its significance statistically. Result: The results showed that the gonial angle increased from 122.7^{\circ} to 123.3^{\circ} (P>0.05), and thus the jaws became slightly slimmer. There was no change in the occlusal plane inclination and facial height. Meanwhile bone marrow density in the mandibular angle and ascending ramus increased from 0.285g/cm^2 to 0.290g/cm^2 (P

so chewing gum makes face slimmer instead of wider?

it increases the gonial angle very slightly meaning your jaw looks downwards. Low gonial angle is straight jaw while high is shit jaw.

did they use the ramus as the anchor or mandible as the anchor to measure this change??

if they didnt look at this crucial detail because WHICH SIDE DID THE ANGLE INCREASE On?
did it increase on the ramus side or the mandible side??

if it did on the ramus side it would result in ccw rotation and if it did on the mandible it would be cw rotation

The ramus had a bigger length. CW not CCW.

the ramus lengthening basically means ccw ..it means the angle increased in the ramus area not the mandible

  • Shorter Ramus: Often associated with a higher (more open) gonial angle, leading to a more angular and broader lower facial appearance.
  • Longer Ramus: Often associated with a lower (more acute) gonial angle, leading to a more slender and elongated lower facial appearance.

    this is basically ccw lol the investigators didnt meausre the gonian angle increase properly lol


    TLDR:but u could be right maybe chewing resets our jaws to proper position so for some it might increase gonian angle and for some it might decrease it and also affect the ramus the similar way

Sorry it says Gonial Angle increase, not Ramus Length. That’s why I said that it makes your face look downgrown

Chewing with anterior teeth would promote CCW rotation no?

Where can I read the full study, their abstract seems worrisome for any chewmaxers but who knows how they measured things, also we don't know if there is a difference between the soft gums they were chewing here and hard gums, or other confounding variables.

It says this at the bottom btw:

"
... Research on chewing gums, however, reported that chewing gum for 40 to 60 minutes a day was not appropriate to become an experimental model for causing TMD pain [7]. In fact, one study reported that continuous gum chewing can be an effective exercise for the oromandibular function that does not accompany changes in mandibular angle or facial appearance [8]. Another study suggested that gum chewing can improve the anteroposterior occlusal balance and increase the occlusal contact area and occlusal force, thereby preventing downward rotation of the mandible [9]. ...

Basically says that 60 minutes of chewing a day won’t cause TMD pain and that it’s a good exercise for the functioning of the mandible and tongue without having noticeable changes in the aesthetics. The other thing says that it prevents downward rotation.

What is worrying is that this is one of the few studies where the subjects were humans and not rats and their gonial angle increased. Check it out with the dominant side of your face and feel the jaw. It’s slightly higher gonial angle
 
Chewing with anterior teeth would promote CCW rotation no?
I think it would provide the effects just a bit slower. I still suggest to chew 15 minutes per day though.

CCW is rarely achieved using non surgical methods though

for me the dominant side has smaller gonial angle. lower ramus.
 
I've been reading up on studies on chewing since yesterday, when I first saw a similar study posted by OP. What matters is where you chew it seems.

Also sperging out on chewing and doing it for too long is probably a bad idea.
could you expand on that? How does it matter? where are the chewing spots and what are their effects and what is the evidence for the claims?

Can you send me the studies on where it says it’s dependant on where you chew? Thanks
 
Ok, now niggas tell me how to achieve this without making my masseter even more bloated
 
lifefuel for shortramuscels (me)
 
It just strengthens the massetter muscle
 
chewing gum is good for distracting to yourself even more
 
legit

i chewed gum every day in puberty and now my ramus is ~6 cm
