The problem with trying constantly to "stand straight" is that most people dont even know what it is and will over do it. The solution to this is to activate some core muscles and the ass basically xd, that make you stand straight, and also dont overdoing neck posture either (lowering your chin too much is bad too) So knowing that there may or may not be something that help with having good jaw posture that isnt in fact near the jaw 🤔
Wow, thank you very much doctor, I'm 27 and as soon as I discovered them, removed my premolars in my first orthodontic treatment and now I'm in the second one but it hasn't been of any use, Maybe just to wear out the roots, my jaw cracks every time I open my mouth and it is displaced a little, originally my upper teeth were displaced to one side and The Down teeths was fine, I don't know when I started chewing only with one side and my muscles on that side were very tense, today my cheeks are more manageable , today i start with the mewing, in 10 days I will turn 28, sorry for the English, I am with the translator 😅 Greetings from Mexico
Dr. Mew, are you saying that if someone who has tmj/tmd started being conscious all the time of keeping good facial posture, that they could cure themselves without the need of any appliances? Thanks for your time.
unfortunatsly i recently developed tmjd and i tried putting my tongue on the roof of my mouth and it exacerbated my asymmetry. im 15 and i want to fix this on my own. i think i might need a spacer.
I am currently trying to cure my TMD with Somatic Education. It uses so called "Pandiculations" (1. contract 2. slowly release 2. completely relax) to reset muscle tone, which makes the position of muscles and joints reset to their natural position. It already cured my back problems (which were probably caused by my TMD). It is important to release back, abs, waist muscles first, after that the Jaw muscles can be targeted. It is learning at neurological level, so it helps with the problem of adapting which you refered to, This might be very helpful to cure TMD! If anyone is interested I would suggest you to get the book "Somatics" by Thomas Hannah.
This sounds like the same theory of "Egoscue exercises" from the book "Pain Free" by Pete Egoscue. About ten years ago, I used the positions and exercises in his TMJ series to re-align my skeleton from toe to head, which re-hung my jaw and cured the clicking and cheek biting I'd been suffering! Alas, my jaw has finally started to decline again in my middle age, so I am trying mewing.
have you heard of mouth taping at night ? the Buteyko method showed how important it is to tape mouth by night since most people hyperventilate without realizing (most likely due to chronic bad posture).
As a patient I an interested in knowing whether or not this approach to treating TMD is substantiated with radiographic imaging. Is there research/case studies demonstrating that this othrotropic approach to treating TMD can indeed cause remodeling of the mandible and TMJs? Does this research include radiographic imaging such as a CBCT/CT? Very interested in an answer to this.
Depends on the pain. There should be muscle soreness and a little tooth ache isn't a problem, but the focus should be on the entire tongue touching the palate and the teeth should only be barely touching. Make sure to not push against the teeth.
Your explanation of 'showing' the joint over time, what the correct posture is, which will in time bring it back to where it should be... is what my tmj specialist will be doing to me. I will be wearing a night splint that he has designed where my bottom teeth will be held slightly forward, but always under the top teeth. Over time, it should move back into place. I obviously haven't explained it as well as you have but I think its more or less the same.
The other day I had a filling done right and my bite improved so much. I could bite down at the correct angle, and I found that my tongue automatically pressed on my palate. I didn't realise I hadn't done that for many years. Because I had so many teeth drilled, the bite was off.
The way you speak reaches far beyond the subject of orthodontics, very inspiring. I realize that I've been practicing the tongue to the roof position wrong the whole time, I'll put great effort into keeping my teeth together and tongue to the roof to hopefully cure my TMJ and headache problems.
What do you mean!? "Practicing the tongue posture wrong"? I thought that Putting great effort to keep the teeth together and tongue in the roof isnt good at all, you just have to slight keep your teeths/mounths, and tongue together withouth much effort, bcause it can cause damage.
Good to know these possible causes of TMJ, yet nothing is said about how occlusal changes done by orthodontists can cause this or similar situation resulting in TMJ. That is my experience. Started ortho without knowing what the heck TMJ is and how it feels to live with TMJ. Now, for half a year due to orthodontically caused posterior open bite I need to push my mandible backwards in order to keep my lips together during sleep and awake time as I used to my whole life, and to push my mandible backwards while eating cause otherwise no back teeth contact. So here we are, nose breather, no TMJ for 36 years, tongue at the roof as described by TMJ experts, yet the artificially introduced dysfunction into my occlusion totally messed up my whole chewing apparatus. The occlusal changes in my mouth directly effect what position my head and neck can take in order to keep teeth close to each other, and that position is not a good posture position. So in the good posture position my lower and upper jaws are 2 x canine length apart. The total ignorance of very experienced ortho professor in the Western Europe who is treating me about how that occlusion can cause TMJ is blowing my mind. The ortho and TMJ field is a totally confused field, lost field, unable to understand the various reasons for TMJ problems field, in my opinion. Simply sad. Well, I had to advocate a lot for myself until finally the ortho, so it seems, started to realise that he must undo the narrowing of my upper arch and already that reduced my TMJ pain by half. Poor kids who haven’t learnt yet to advocate for themselves or reflect on the changes and sensation in their bodies - with straight and nice teeth they end up with TMJ at some point years later after an orthodontic work. And some TMJ expert will tell them it is because of their bad posture whereas it can be they had to adopt that posture due to occlusal changes during ortho. Sometimes I wonder: so many smart and bright engineers, physicists, mathematicians were able to organise and trip to the moon, to build the ship, to calculate so many things without ever experiencing it. But somehow TMJ problems which are to me in cases like mine are very similar to technical/mechanical problems cause much more confusion than astrophysics, or so it seems.
what would you receommend for bad bite (tooth interference when trying to close mouth). How can I widen arch move teeth that are interfering with clsoing mouth with tongue on the roof of mouth?
Hi everybody! I have watched many videos but I still have this question: I have TMD and my lower jaw shifts from one side to another. If I bite, my upper teeth can only match correctly one side of the lower teeth. Left side of my lower arch is aligned, rigth side is crooking ... so where should I close my mouth??? (Sorry, english is not my native language)
Your tongue should support your head. If they don't touch properly, just have them barely touch where you want them and use your entire tongue pushing against the palate to keep the rest of your teeth floating.
I have TMJ problems and ive had it for ages. Im not a mouth breather nor do i rest my mouth open. Ive had a defined jaw line and chin bt lately in the past two years ive noticed my chin has receeded loads and i dont have as well defined jaw lines as i used to have. Could this b because of my TMJ problems? Im not sure if i sleep with my mouth open at night... I dont think i do. Im 16 and im just not sure why my chin has receeded so much in my teen years. I also have problems breathing through my nose and have bn told that i have narrow nasal passage ways
Ive been mewong for about 6 months and ive had drastic changes to towards the positive, my nasal airways opened up and im better looking, chew as much as u can, 15 to 30 times, always trying to reach 30, when the food is complete mush and your throat starts to swallow, let it
@@jewslittersrdrxd5693 I started mewing at 17, I'm not 18, it's been more or less a year... I'm also aware that changes occur much faster with puberty and I DO wear braces, but I have seen facial changes clearly from mewing
@@gabrielgouveia554 Im 21 and have a slightly recessed maxilla thats literally the only facial flaw I have I hope mewing can fix that if not I ll have to get a surgery
Dear Dr Mike Mew, Im a mouthbreather and i cant change to breathing through nose because there isnt enough oxygen what goes through it. Please help somehow, that how i can start to heal myself from this syndrome. Thanks and you are doing fantastic job. Máté Boa

I've been using a hard splint for a decade now. My dentist explained to me that if my jaw continues to get worse they would need to either file down the teeth or do surgery on the jaw. Both of these sound absolutely crazy to me. Thats how I started watching your videos.
well i have space between my teeth for long time but i developed tmd just recently.. in just a week since started mewing a fucked up my tmj.. so now i dont know if i mewed incorectlly or it is associated my problems of my neck spine.. because when i tried to really put my whole tongue back on the roof my neck muscles started to be really painfull and since that my jaw started popping and some oocasional TMJ pain
Man, I am glad I found Dr. MEW, this was literally a hidden treasure.
If there are other treasures, please help me......Would send blessings your way!
I advise you to watch Dr. Berg if you ‘d like to improve your health.
