What’s up guys,
I’ve been seeing a lot of people complaining that they’ve been mewing for 2 years with zero results. I just watched a video (and have been doing some digging into the mechanics) that basically confirms what we’ve suspected: Standard "soft" mewing does almost nothing once your sutures start to fuse.
If you’re over 18, just "resting" your tongue on the roof of your mouth isn't going to move bone. Here is why hard mewing is actually the only way to see midface changes:
The math is simple:
Force = Pressure \times Area
Soft mewing applies maybe lbs of force. That’s enough to keep your teeth from falling inward, but it’s nowhere near enough to cause sutural expansion. Hard mewing (actively driving the posterior third of the tongue into the palate) increases that force by 10x or 20x. Without that specific "overload," your skull has no reason to change.
When you hard mew, the back of your tongue acts like a hydraulic press against the transverse palatine suture. This is the "sweet spot" for forward growth. If you aren't feeling pressure right where your hard palate meets the soft palate, you’re wasting your time.
Warning though: Watch out for asymmetry. If you push harder on the left than the right, you're going to give yourself a slanted maxilla.
What do you guys think? Is soft mewing just a massive cope for anyone post-puberty?
so if you really want to ascend or somewhat fix your reccession stop sucction mewing you need to put pressure into it if your not literly 2 years old or smth if your above 12 to 13 normal mewing wont work and heres and random vid i found on this topic showing proof ig of how hardmewwing can work it owuld probbbly work even better if you are still developing and at the end of the day surgery is always an option

If you’re over 18, just "resting" your tongue on the roof of your mouth isn't going to move bone. Here is why hard mewing is actually the only way to see midface changes:
1. The Pressure Threshold
In kids, the maxilla is like play-dough. In adults, it’s like hard clay. To change the shape of the maxilla, you have to trigger Wolff’s Law (bone remodeling under stress).The math is simple:
Force = Pressure \times Area
Soft mewing applies maybe lbs of force. That’s enough to keep your teeth from falling inward, but it’s nowhere near enough to cause sutural expansion. Hard mewing (actively driving the posterior third of the tongue into the palate) increases that force by 10x or 20x. Without that specific "overload," your skull has no reason to change.
2. The Posterior Third (The "Hydraulic Press")
Most people "normal mew" by just touching the tip of their tongue to the ridge. That’s useless. The video I watched (and my own experience) shows that you have to engage the styloglossus muscle.When you hard mew, the back of your tongue acts like a hydraulic press against the transverse palatine suture. This is the "sweet spot" for forward growth. If you aren't feeling pressure right where your hard palate meets the soft palate, you’re wasting your time.
3. Constant Tension vs. Passive Posture
The reason hard mewing "works" in these transformation videos is that it creates a constant upward/forward vector.- Soft Mewing: Is just a posture.
- Hard Mewing: Is a workout for your face.
My Take:
If you aren't literally "sore" in your tongue and palate area after a session, you aren't applying enough force to move bone. Soft mewing is basically just "not mouth-breathing." If you actually want to fix a recessed midface or get that lateral expansion, you have to apply active, conscious pressure.Warning though: Watch out for asymmetry. If you push harder on the left than the right, you're going to give yourself a slanted maxilla.

But is this gpt?
