Well, cheeks are muscle so stop using it, they'll eventually atrophy. Don't worry muscle atrophy takes less time time building muscle. Probably takes about 2 months to notice significant changes to your cheeks
This is genius. This is what I've been looking for. That issue with the saliva swallow was discussed by no one else. That you Dr. Mew, from Trinidad and Tobago.
Dr mew, why don't you make a film of how the real thing works; show the tongue moving inside the move, with the positions and movements it should make and the swallowing of the saliva, as well as the position of the spine and body posture. Now that would be most helpful and you would get more fans and followers. Once you achieve that, they will demand their dentist to provide them with your apparatus and stop having their children and their own teeth pulled.
Its simple when u keeo ur tongue up on the roof of ur mouth saliva will make it uncomfortable to keep it up. U take ur tongur out of position then u swallow by pushing ur tongue up and closing ur teeth.
This is fascinating. I have an underbite/crossbite, had no idea it's important to have my tongue on the roof of my mouth until seeing these videos, and was diagnosed with asthma when I was about 9. I'm a week away from being 21, this is only the first day trying this, but I still I have never breathed better than I am now. I'm gonna want to keep doing this.
My daughter has had a stuffy nose for years and I could never get her to close her mouth and breathe out of her nose. Until I learned about mewing. Once she had her tongue in the right position she could instantly breathe from her nose.
Incredible! After mewing correctly for several months I realized that I've been Tongue-sweeping/Micro-swallowing naturally even before finding out what it was in this video... Proves that given the correct posture all these things that Dr. Mike Mew talks about should all be working together. Thanks!
Same here! A bit ago, I was having sleep problems, and realized my tongue was pushing against the roof of my mouth really hard, and I thought it was stress, so worked on not doing that 😅 The swallow hold would also keep me up at night because I would be swallowing constantly - but am just now learning this was correct tongue posture. The good news is it’s been a relatively short time since all this happened, like a few months to a year, so I’ve been getting back in the habit quite quick. It’s no wonder I have a jaw - the bodies a real homie
man this video needs to be watched WAY more. I've been looking for solutions for tongue exercises to resolve my sleepapnea. Only got clued into this by another Dentist on and have been searching since. Super glad I found this. I'll be sharing your message with friends!
there is a comment proposing for you to make a film on mewing, tongue posture and a general overview of your work and interpretation. I think it's an amazing idea for you to bring awareness to the issue everyone forget about out or even don't know. It would be eyeopening!
I am experiencing the same. I no longer have the desire to grind! I can’t! Also I used to have a desire to suction my cheeks. No more when the suction is focused on the back of the tongue being on the roof of the mouth. Dentists Recommended wearing those stupid appliances. I never paid for the expensive ones but the cheap ones never worked. NOONE ever asked me about my tongue position!!! .
Sería increíble que alguien pudiera traducir estos vídeos en español, el traductor automático a veces cambia las palabras y no se puede entender realmente el contexto de lo que se está explicando 😢 Muchas gracias por todo lo que hace Dr. Mike Mew 😊
Sir- You've done videos explaining vertical asymmetry, but I don't believe you've ever explained the causes of HORIZONTAL asymmetry. When the jaws shift horizontally to one side causing the entire midline and nose to be off-center and one side of the lip to be longer in horizontal length than the other side. (easily measured from the iris of the eyes) Doctors often mistake this for one cheekbone being smaller than the other etc and will suggest implants and rhinoplasty when the true culprit is the maxilla. I would attach my own case if I could to show as an example, but I believe quite a few adults have this and it would be helpful if you explain the causes of this horizontal shift.
***** I've seen those videos and the pictures in the thumbnails seem to indicate that the nasal midline is in the center, but only begins to shift starting under the nose. I am referring to the entire midface being off center along with the cheekbones. There must be a difference between people who only have that bony shift from below the nose down to those that have it from the top of the nose down.
You say that you are unaware if an adults maxilla can grow. Are you measuring your own maxillary growth ? You're jaw is indeed much larger since your first videos. Is this muscle growth or bone growth. P.s. Thank you.. 2 weeks ago I had an over bite. Thank you for helping me understand my jaw. I lost my posture after a car accident.. but I have been watching you aswell as combining it with a daily inversion, a d yoga in the hydrapool. My entire routine has changed, and I am excited to keep up with this. I feel so much better again already. ❤xo 38 years old ... uh I mean .. 28 forever
Joseph Gregory simple, stop eating man-made, prepackaged foods, and start eating nature's whole foods. also go on amazon and type in falim gum, dude, buy some. you will get very significant jaw gains, and will probably get peoples reactions. lol. P.S. this is not my youtube account,im borrowing laptop.
That reference at the end made me chuckle. So it's best to put the tongue completely on the roof of the mouth, every bit of the top in contact with every bit of the roof, that just the tip with the mount behind the front incisors? I've studied myself with different tongue postures, and putting the tongue right at the top causes a bulge to emerge under my jaw, which makes me look chinless. A short-term price I'm willing to pay, but I have to know if I'm doing something wrong? As putting the tongue merely at the tip tucks it in and results in a clean, flushed look.
Scrath Folchester Really? It SHOULD have the complete opposite effect. I don't wish to insult you and say "oh, well you're probably doing it wrong!". However, I suspect you may not have the back of your tongue completely up. Try this: Bite your teeth together and do a cheesy smile. Cheese it up and raise your eyebrows high. Put the tip of your tongue where you have been putting it and swallow. If this is your first time swallowing correctly, then you may notice it to be rather difficult or an odd feeling. Try and sense the back of your tongue going up and remember that sensation. Now, try swallowing again but this time try and pause the action mid-swallow so that your tongue is up in the back of your mouth. If done correctly, you won't be able to inhale or exhale. Remember this posture. This is how far back and up your posterior third need to be (although a tiny bit forward so that you can breath ;)). The space under your jaw is actually your tongue. The more you strengthen it the tighter it should get down there (within limits, obviously). You can also try exercises for strengthening your tongue. Search for some Myofunctional exercises.
Okay, I followed the procedure you described and arrived at the tongue posture I had been using, with the tip behind the teeth, the flesh underneath my jaw (yes I know it's my tongue, I'm not blind) tucked up and incapable of breathing through my mouth, but my tongue isn't completely in the roof of my mouth in that posture and the roof of my mouth is not completely covered by my tongue. This could just be a product of my malocclusion, but my maloclussion isn't particularly extreme or unusual. It seems to me that getting the front of the tongue behind the front teeth and then pulling as much of the rest of the tongue up to achieve that vacuum gap is the desired effect for someone without ideal dental arches, and complete coverage is impossible or inessential. (ps I doubt that I'd have been insulted if you'd told me that I was doing something wrong, given the fact that I was bloody well asking about it. However, the implication that I would be insulted is itself slightly insulting. Not enough that I'm not grateful for your input, it's great to discuss this stuff, but for future reference, when trying to avoid offense, the less assumptions you make about the other party = the better.)
I think to make these videos a little clearer to understand you should give definitions for the words you're using, i.e. posterior third, tongue sweep, micro swallow, function
for me its not restricting the airway instead i could breathe well and sort of anxiety is also reduced. I was a mouth breather since childhood and i think i dont know how to swallow well, now as i force myself to swallow with your method i feel comfortable , eye bags reduced anxiety reduced and i could feel the back third. what is the relation between back third and breathing and anxiety , what i could feel is these three are interleated because of mouth breathing --> poor structure --> hindering breathing --> lower oxygen causing anxiety sort of , if someones has clearity on this please reply .
becaue its very diffult for me to swallow multiple times , muscles are very tight, is it because of porr muscle tone or is should consult any neurologist for any nerve malfunction in that area
question: am i perhaps creating too much of a suction when mewing? because i have a teeth sucking habit through the front teeth by my lips, my cheeks are good. when i "pull my tongue back" before sweeping, it intensifies the suction so much that it feels incredibly difficult to drop the tip of my tongue in order to sweep. and when i force it to drop and sweep, i can feel an extremely minor "sucking" through the front of my teeth by my lip muscles. any advice?
My problem with the "tongue sweep" is that we are said not to "suck in" or "suck the teeth" but the vacuum in the mouth from correct tongue posture seems to pull on my teeth when I move the tongue. Is this okay or will it have negative effects in the long term?
its not correct if its sucking on ur teeth or pulling on ur teeth. it should only suck on the hard palate. if its sucking on the teeth u have a habit of teeth sucking when swallowing. this sucking habit is whats causing your malocclusion. it will have negative effects since itll suck in ur skull and make u not have cheekbones and a narrow palate. The sucking is a light, subconscious force. You should not be sucking at all when u tongue sweep or swallow. You should be putting a push force when sweeping or swallowing never a negative sucking force. You need to break that habit and while your resting or not doing anything check if u want to suck on ur teeth or w.e. You need to be constantly moving your tongue with a force not a suck. It developed that sucking habit cuz ur tongue got weak. train it and your teeth should naturally straighten and ur palate should widen. Good luck.
@@DavidLee-sz1gj Hey, is it wrong if I suck all the saliva up to my palate while my whole tongue remains in the mewing position and then I swallow by pressing the root of my tongue against my palate?
@@DavidLee-sz1gj Dude Ive been teeth sucking for 9 months I noticed it when all my molars are align and not visible when Im smiling. Last 9 months ago I can see my back molars a little bit but now its completely hidden. My palate also getting squeezed and narrow not unlike the others with perfect suction has narrow and wide palate. Ive been doing wrong things and Im changing it now today. Not wasted 9 months but doing it all wrong Hate my life
Love your advice! I'm getting the hang of these things but every 10 seconds just seems so unreal for me. I could easily go a minute. Every ten seconds seems to be really excessive. Is this time frame based on anything?
And now it is two months gone by. I do think about this position a lot of the time. I've worked through several iterations of this advice. There was a while that I doubted my own ability to swallow or everything else but that's come back around again. I'm amazed though at how much I think about it and how much I have to remind myself. Surely I'll get there. Just have to keep on "one step at a time". Thanks!
Dr. Mew, does the tongue touch the bottom teeth when it comes up to the hard palate in the process of tongue sweeping? Or does it not touch the teeth at all in the whole process? I'm afraid I'm pushing my teeth forward, possibly causing them to move forward too over time, which would make them look bad aesthetically.
So dr Mew, while I know you are dead on with your findings, I have a malocclusion because of my teeth being shaved on by several dentists trying to fix my bite because of one dentists jacking it up! My bite is too close now, so what I’ve naturally done was try and keep my tongue positioned up, like you explain, to help keep my jaws more comfy and teeth apart because they hurt when I bite because they don’t fit together properly. When eating I try not to chew to hard or else the teeth will bang and possibly chip slightly...molars. Also want to mention I have now developed an open bite and no canine guidance now. Will this technique of me trying to remember to keep my tongue up at all times help my bite or am I fighting a losing battle and need to get my teeth fixed with crowns or maybe bonding? which I’m actually petrified of taking on 😕Thanks
when my tongue comes back it rubs on my inner first pre molars,almost like lill fangs and there sharp, im sick of my tongue being numb, what can i do ? will a dentist file them down ? or something lol
My airway is completely blocked with the back of tongue up. How can I fix it...a doc told I have large tonsils...I kinda want to get them removed but idk.
when i tongue sweep swallow theres always a bunch of food in my mouth left over, I have to swallow a bite of food 3 times. as the tongue sweep dosnt collect food outside of the teeth
Deepground that’s because when you lowered the chin you most likely tried to keep your eyes straight forcing them when they would natural shift down as the chin is angled down.
when i try to do this my tongue doesn't gather enought saliva and after 1 minute my mouth fills with saliva. How can i fix this? Could it be caused by excessive salivation ?
Mike thank you for this video, but can i ask you a question? If i fix my body posture and my tongue posture can i fix the damage i have done to my my face completely? I am 16 years old
I cant breathe with my posterior third up, my root of my tonguee (i can see my adams apple do this) sinks down while i breathe... i cant do the first step, i can get my root up there but not even breathe
When i put my tong in the roof of my mouth and try to fully place the tongue over the whole palate I cannot close my teeth together. How screwed am I and is there any excerise i can do in order to balance my jaw or whatever it is I need to balance so that I can properly start doing this excersise? The past few weeks I have done everything, even closed my lips and held my tongue up while swallowing but its impossible for me to get my teeth together because my tongue will either be stuck in the middle or it will be moved backwards and it wont cover my full palate
I am 21 and my tongue was in the wrong position for my whole life leading to jaw problems and slight deformities. Is it possible to reverse those and get a healthy jaw? Thank you
@@TerrenLiberte jaw problems have improved but also due to better mental health. I'd say some aesthetic improvements due to better facial and tongue musculature even though I am still having trouble breathing through the nose because of allergies. The jaw bones itself haven't changed much I think but at least my teeth didn't re-crooked themselfs after braces.
@@TheFr3stylerOh thank you for your kind response! Your allergies are surely due to food, gluten may be the cause, for others it is dairy .... think about fasting regularly too! 😊
i feel like im putting too much pressure when i swallow so my bottom lip suctions onto my teeth cuz of the pressure from the 'vacuum' lmao no idea what im doing
I'm fine with the tongue to the roof part and the swallowing but I just cannot do any of the sweeping. My tongue feels suctioned to the roof of my mouth and I automatically kind of suck the saliva into place so I can do the swallow. But I guess that is really bad. I don't use any face muscles while swallowing but I assume the sucking comes from the buccinator. But trying to loosen the tongue from it's place on the roof is so hard because it is suctioned there aswell so I basically have to "plop" it off there. I feel like such an idiot because this all seems impossible for me to do.
Do you also feel like you're sucking on your teeth? I swear I can feel a couple teeth moving when the tip of my tongue dips down in the tongue sweep...
@@toplobster1040 I don't think so but I really don't know what I'm doing at all. I think I need a very detailed animation of the whole process and all the possible pitfalls.
@@knightshade1463 Ugh me either. I find it very irritating that they haven't made an animation yet. It's been years, how have they not done one yet? So frustrating
I have a slight overbite. When doing this should I put my teeth in the correct position touching each other, or the natural overbite position? Also will all of this cure my slight overbite. Secondly when I do this I feel a vibrating in my throats and its hard to breathe and makes a noise. Will this go away over time? Even if I only do this for 6 hours a day because I cannot breathe like this at school.
Mewing is about practicing correct tongue posture and chewing gum. Also, overbites are normal, its essential so that the front teeth dont touch each other.
@@Orthotropics same question will I grow the tongue space in time after putting as much tongue on the roof of my mouth as I can mange now while still being able to breathe??
I hear many people saying that they can't breathe when they've got their toungue in the right position, however ive never had that issue so I am doubting whether I'm doing it right or not even though Im pretty sure my toungue is positioned correctly
I am confused about teeth position. Should the front 4 teeth touch each other when I am resting (the way you look when somebody asks you to show your teeth, top and bottom on each other) and having my tongue in the proper position or should I have an over bite and with all the other teeth touching, apart from the big two in the front?
This should be taught to all parents as mandatory knowledge
고수 Crownie definitely agree
Alex Ellis I've seen you around on a couple of videos. How long would you say it takes to get hollow cheeks with correct posture?
Well, cheeks are muscle so stop using it, they'll eventually atrophy. Don't worry muscle atrophy takes less time time building muscle. Probably takes about 2 months to notice significant changes to your cheeks
Well my kids are definitely gonna be pretty and handsome cuz I'm gonna make sure of it.

its not correct if its sucking on ur teeth or pulling on ur teeth. it should only suck on the hard palate. if its sucking on the teeth u have a habit of teeth sucking when swallowing. this sucking habit is whats causing your malocclusion. it will have negative effects since itll suck in ur skull and make u not have cheekbones and a narrow palate. The sucking is a light, subconscious force. You should not be sucking at all when u tongue sweep or swallow. You should be putting a push force when sweeping or swallowing never a negative sucking force. You need to break that habit and while your resting or not doing anything check if u want to suck on ur teeth or w.e. You need to be constantly moving your tongue with a force not a suck. It developed that sucking habit cuz ur tongue got weak. train it and your teeth should naturally straighten and ur palate should widen. Good luck.
@@DavidLee-sz1gj Hey, is it wrong if I suck all the saliva up to my palate while my whole tongue remains in the mewing position and then I swallow by pressing the root of my tongue against my palate?
@@DavidLee-sz1gj Dude Ive been teeth sucking for 9 months I noticed it when all my molars are align and not visible when Im smiling. Last 9 months ago I can see my back molars a little bit but now its completely hidden. My palate also getting squeezed and narrow not unlike the others with perfect suction has narrow and wide palate. Ive been doing wrong things and Im changing it now today. Not wasted 9 months but doing it all wrong Hate my life

Sucking on the teeth causes malocclusion? Fuck, I thought it just enlarged the buccinators.
Most useful comment on the whole of youtube. I have this problem
my atom apple feels like its going to explode when i chin tuck and mew push swallow it even kinda clicks theres so much pressure, is that normal?
I imagine there's no hope for me and nobody can fix my orthodontic problem 😞
don't give up, really listen to mike mew and follow what he says
Love your advice! I'm getting the hang of these things but every 10 seconds just seems so unreal for me. I could easily go a minute. Every ten seconds seems to be really excessive. Is this time frame based on anything?
One step at a time
And now it is two months gone by. I do think about this position a lot of the time. I've worked through several iterations of this advice. There was a while that I doubted my own ability to swallow or everything else but that's come back around again. I'm amazed though at how much I think about it and how much I have to remind myself. Surely I'll get there. Just have to keep on "one step at a time". Thanks!
How I hold this correct tongue posture is for how long I can hold my breath because when I do it I can't breathe at all brev
Starting from 5:00 I felt like he's going to take Nicki's throne.
Jefferson Cabral lmfao same
My english is pool, who can tell me what's the sentence is, at 4:15, after "10 seconds", thank you
Dr. Mew, does the tongue touch the bottom teeth when it comes up to the hard palate in the process of tongue sweeping? Or does it not touch the teeth at all in the whole process? I'm afraid I'm pushing my teeth forward, possibly causing them to move forward too over time, which would make them look bad aesthetically.
So dr Mew, while I know you are dead on with your findings, I have a malocclusion because of my teeth being shaved on by several dentists trying to fix my bite because of one dentists jacking it up! My bite is too close now, so what I’ve naturally done was try and keep my tongue positioned up, like you explain, to help keep my jaws more comfy and teeth apart because they hurt when I bite because they don’t fit together properly. When eating I try not to chew to hard or else the teeth will bang and possibly chip slightly...molars. Also want to mention I have now developed an open bite and no canine guidance now. Will this technique of me trying to remember to keep my tongue up at all times help my bite or am I fighting a losing battle and need to get my teeth fixed with crowns or maybe bonding? which I’m actually petrified of taking on 😕Thanks
I caused lines on my inner cheeks by biting. Is it normal?
when my tongue comes back it rubs on my inner first pre molars,almost like lill fangs and there sharp, im sick of my tongue being numb, what can i do ? will a dentist file them down ? or something lol
Why does i suck my uvula so much, is it normal?
My airway is completely blocked with the back of tongue up. How can I fix it...a doc told I have large tonsils...I kinda want to get them removed but idk.
Is it normal to feel a bit of stress while doing this on the back of the head about at the height of the last vertebra?
when i tongue sweep swallow theres always a bunch of food in my mouth left over, I have to swallow a bite of food 3 times. as the tongue sweep dosnt collect food outside of the teeth
Not while eating...
@@rainorchids We're not suppose to tongue sweep while swallowing? Then how are we supposed to swallow? 😭
I mewed while mackenzie chin-tucking and i got a vertigo effect plus my eyes feel unconfortable , what is it exactly ?!
Deepground that’s because when you lowered the chin you most likely tried to keep your eyes straight forcing them when they would natural shift down as the chin is angled down.
when i try to do this my tongue doesn't gather enought saliva and after 1 minute my mouth fills with saliva. How can i fix this? Could it be caused by excessive salivation ?
Mike thank you for this video, but can i ask you a question? If i fix my body posture and my tongue posture can i fix the damage i have done to my my face completely? I am 16 years old
TributeDude did you manage to mew properly?
I cant breathe with my posterior third up, my root of my tonguee (i can see my adams apple do this) sinks down while i breathe... i cant do the first step, i can get my root up there but not even breathe
When i put my tong in the roof of my mouth and try to fully place the tongue over the whole palate I cannot close my teeth together. How screwed am I and is there any excerise i can do in order to balance my jaw or whatever it is I need to balance so that I can properly start doing this excersise? The past few weeks I have done everything, even closed my lips and held my tongue up while swallowing but its impossible for me to get my teeth together because my tongue will either be stuck in the middle or it will be moved backwards and it wont cover my full palate
You possibly lack tongue space.
My tongue is not embarrassing my airway, i cant even breathe while mewing 😂
How do i do the micro-swallow if i don't have a lot of saliva? Like a bit dry.😅
Ikr
I am 21 and my tongue was in the wrong position for my whole life leading to jaw problems and slight deformities. Is it possible to reverse those and get a healthy jaw? Thank you
. Did you try that? Any update?😊
@@TerrenLiberte jaw problems have improved but also due to better mental health. I'd say some aesthetic improvements due to better facial and tongue musculature even though I am still having trouble breathing through the nose because of allergies. The jaw bones itself haven't changed much I think but at least my teeth didn't re-crooked themselfs after braces.
@@TheFr3stylerOh thank you for your kind response!
Your allergies are surely due to food, gluten may be the cause, for others it is dairy .... think about fasting regularly too! 😊
so this is mewing ? and this will change the shape even in adults ?
Yes. But I think you already know that because I'm 3 months late
i feel like im putting too much pressure when i swallow so my bottom lip suctions onto my teeth cuz of the pressure from the 'vacuum' lmao no idea what im doing
shut up mewing or not you’re still cute
I'm fine with the tongue to the roof part and the swallowing but I just cannot do any of the sweeping. My tongue feels suctioned to the roof of my mouth and I automatically kind of suck the saliva into place so I can do the swallow. But I guess that is really bad. I don't use any face muscles while swallowing but I assume the sucking comes from the buccinator. But trying to loosen the tongue from it's place on the roof is so hard because it is suctioned there aswell so I basically have to "plop" it off there. I feel like such an idiot because this all seems impossible for me to do.
Do you also feel like you're sucking on your teeth? I swear I can feel a couple teeth moving when the tip of my tongue dips down in the tongue sweep...
@@toplobster1040 I don't think so but I really don't know what I'm doing at all. I think I need a very detailed animation of the whole process and all the possible pitfalls.
@@knightshade1463 Ugh me either. I find it very irritating that they haven't made an animation yet. It's been years, how have they not done one yet? So frustrating
I have exactly the same problem. Any update?
When I put my tongue in the rooftop it touches my molar teeth and it’s kinda annoying, am I doing something wrong or what?!?
You likely have a narrow palate.
MrBanoffeeCrunch oh shit, well thanks. Hope mewing fixes it
Ernestina any changes?
i keep clenching my teeth when i mew, and i clenched harder when i do the micro-swallow (i have an overbite). can someone tell me what i should do...
I have a slight overbite. When doing this should I put my teeth in the correct position touching each other, or the natural overbite position? Also will all of this cure my slight overbite.
Secondly when I do this I feel a vibrating in my throats and its hard to breathe and makes a noise. Will this go away over time? Even if I only do this for 6 hours a day because I cannot breathe like this at school.
You must chew gum too, check his latest videos
Repsej _ what do you mean
Mewing is about practicing correct tongue posture and chewing gum. Also, overbites are normal, its essential so that the front teeth dont touch each other.
Repsej _ have you tried this tongue posture thing and did it help you?
no, i just discovered it 3 days ago
❤️
but when i tuck in my chin you can see my double chin sigh
Are you one of those dumb 304s who sub to Tana Mongo?
10:00 🗿
Chad.
Why cant i breathe when my 1/3 posterior of the tongue is on the palate. its hard
Then it is possible that you lack tongue space and the back third of your tongue is thus back in your airway, M
Orthotropics Is it still possible to learn the correct posture with a lack of tongue space? Thank you for the reply.
this @Orthotropics
@@Orthotropics same question will I grow the tongue space in time after putting as much tongue on the roof of my mouth as I can mange now while still being able to breathe??
@@matthewp7004 that's the whole point, so yes.
I hear many people saying that they can't breathe when they've got their toungue in the right position, however ive never had that issue so I am doubting whether I'm doing it right or not even though Im pretty sure my toungue is positioned correctly
You confusing
I am confused about teeth position. Should the front 4 teeth touch each other when I am resting (the way you look when somebody asks you to show your teeth, top and bottom on each other) and having my tongue in the proper position or should I have an over bite and with all the other teeth touching, apart from the big two in the front?
