So, is mewing really useless? Many people claim it helps project the maxilla; however, this is mainly the case during infancy and early childhood. If you start mewing around age 14, it likely will not significantly change maxillary projection because the maxilla begins to mature and the sutures become more rigid with age, making expansion increasingly difficult even with orthopedic support. Correct me if I’m wrong; I remember reading this from a textbook.
However, mewing may still be beneficial for tongue posture and the hyoid area. I have noticed this myself: I don’t have perfect tongue posture, but the tip of my tongue naturally rests against the palate while the rest of my tongue does not. I’ve noticed that the area where my tongue makes contact with the palate is where I have less hyoid sagging, while the rest appears slightly lower.
