I hate my hyoid

[i.blamemy_hyoid]

I find myself having an extremely low hyoid and i couldl blame it due the problems i had when i was a kid .

I had a short palate, therefore incorrect tounge posture until around 13-14 yo. this led to me not taking the best advantage of my genetics.

Now at fresh 17 i realised it was a problem and tried chin tucks and neck curls. Honestly they did help a bit and it tightened the sides of my jaw a tiny bit.

But my main concern is, when people mew their hyoid tends to raise; mine just stays stiff at the bottom.

Does anyone know how to fix this??

You need to mew by placing as MUCH of your tongue on your pallet as possible. The position of your hyoid is determined by the position of your tongue and the position of your tongue is determined by oral volume and habits. If you have a recessed maxilla your pallet will be small -> low oral volume -> nowhere for your tongue to go -> no hyoid improvement with mewing. Might need orthodontic intervention. Keep doing chin tucks and neck curls + swallowing exercises and get your myofunctional habits on point. Consult with an orthodontist about your bone structure and oral volume. You can always larp airway problems to get your fixes covered by insurance. Hope this helps
