Mewing is a technique popularized in looksmaxing communities for potentially improving jawline definition and facial structure. Named after Dr. John Mew, it involves resting your tongue against the roof of your mouth to encourage natural jaw growth. This guide will explore how to do it, its benefits, and the science behind it.
How to Mew Properly:
  • Place the tip of your tongue just behind your upper front teeth, with the rest pressed against the roof of your mouth.
  • Breathe through your nose, keeping your lips closed and teeth lightly touching.
  • Maintain this posture as much as possible, especially during idle times, and use it when swallowing.
  • Be patient; changes may take months or years, especially for adults.
Potential Benefits:
  • Improved jawline definition by encouraging forward maxilla growth.
  • Better facial symmetry and alignment, potentially aiding dental health.
  • Enhanced nasal breathing, which can improve sleep and reduce snoring.
  • Scientific Evidence:While many users report positive results, scientific studies are limited. Research, such as a study in the Angle Orthodontist, suggests tongue posture can influence facial development in children, but evidence for adults is mostly anecdotal (Medical News Today: Does mewing work? What the research says). Critics, including orthodontists, argue genetics primarily determine facial structure, and mewing's effectiveness remains unproven (WebMD: Mewing & Jawline Exercises).
    Tips for Success:
    • Start slowly and build consistency, aiming for hours daily.
    • Combine with other looksmaxing practices like skincare and fitness for holistic improvement.
    • Track progress with photos, but manage expectations given the lack of guaranteed results.
  • Conclusion:
    Mewing is a low-risk technique worth trying as part of your looksmaxing journey, though results vary.
