Not really much of a looks guy anymore, but I figured I’ll still share this info with yall on the chance it helps someone.
So It seems there are still a lot of people on this forum who entirely dismiss mewing as being a useless cope. However the truth is,
in entirely depends on the person.
This is because mewing is simply not going to actually add any bone mass to your face that wasn’t there in the first place.
But it is ABSOLUTELY capable of remodelling the positioning of certain joints if they in fact have the room and leeway to do so, I am a very good example of this.
The easiest way to see if you are eligible for any tangible change from adopting better oral posture is to jut your lower jaw out as far as possible and compare the difference between this and your molars touching.
Example: My natural mouth posture for all of my life was to have my lower incisors pushed forward to line up with the top in order to open up my airways. And although I wasn’t technically mouth breathing, it is fundamentally going to have the exact same effect on the projection of the lower jaw. Here is a comparison picture to show just how significant of a difference there was between my natural jut and forcing my molars to touch.
This was only about 6 months ago keep in mind
As you can see, my lower jaw length was actually perfectly adequate to project outwards. But the joints naturally took a set back position over a long time due to a lack of proper posture.
To put it simply Your jut is what your lower jaw would look like if your joints developed in a proper manner.
Now if you literally cannot jut, or if your maxilla is too far set back to compensate without forming a bad underbite. Mewing frankly wont do you much good unless you’re young enough to feasibly see maxillary upswing from doing so.
Either accept it or get surgery if it seems important enough for you.
Now for my results
I was extremely surprised to see just how significant the change was In merely 6 months, but I also actually grew a few cm in height during this period so seeing change this fast may be unrealistic for some of you without doing this in conjunction with appliances or possibly chewing.
So obviously the difference between molars touching now and 6 months ago are night and day regardless of the slight angle difference, but nonetheless it’s still nothing outstandingly different from what my jutting posture looked like from day 1. I just don’t have to force it anymore.
There is also a clear plateau I’ve reached as now the difference between my jut and normal bite is barely distinguishable, I no longer have any more bone mass to bring out hence I will now see exponentially diminishing returns.
The BY FAR best thing I got out of this whole experience that made the entire process worth it was the elimination of my TMJ issue which was a problem that developed when I was only 10, jfl at my dentist saying it’s incurable.
Anyways I hope this thread at least brought you some insight into how fucking stupid our modern orthodontist’s system is like how tf have they not figured this shit out?
