I agree the root is the hardest to maintain and even engage for the majority of my clients and fans. The biggest advice I give is to practice the chin tuck and keep moving that tongue till you gain complete control over your tongue. It’s a habit building thing. Like learning to walk after not walking all your life
Im not sure if I am doing it correctly. I feel like a fat ass bulge move in my throat to my palate. Basically I swallow a few times creating a vaccum and then do that little bulge push.
Holding your breath while trying to engage the back third also works quite well for me. Now to go even further for some real pressure up onto your palate, you can bite down on your teeth and try to push upwards as far back as possible with your tongue while holding your breath; you'll feel some solid pressure exerted on your palate while doing this especially when also acompanied with a chintuck, you'll really be able to fill every corner & crevice of your tongue space with this. (I find that the harder i clench down amd chintuck the harder i'm able to press up with my tongue aswell). After youve done that you can release the holding of the breath, try to maintain as much of the tongue still up on the palate when breathing again and avoid dropping the entire back third when you stop holding your breath in.
@@kish3470 Yeh I find it works well enough with moderate clenching and intense chin tuck. You basically end up making the same face and posture that powerlifters make when they do heavy deadlifts. Explains the ridiculously wide faces that rugby players tend to have xD
I use that method but for people who tongue thrust and have difficulty initiating that swallow the trick i use is to initiate the swallow from the tip. There’s a spot a few mm behind the front teeth and at the beginning of the palate. It is its own spot and distinct ridge of some sort and is where the tip of your tongue should be to give you the right foundation to hold correct oral posture. From there once your tongue is on this spot you want to just swallow. Push on the spot slightly and not too hard with the tip of your tongue and swallow making sure the tip of your tongue remains there. Don’t think just swallow if you try and press too hard it won’t work in my experience. You’ll be surprised how second nature it becomes when you just swallow without thinking too much and allow your tongue to flatten and suction up against the palate. After the initial swallow you’ll notice your mouth become dryer. Keep swallowing like this multiple times- the increased suction will make it easier and easier which each successive repetition. But yeah that’s basically what i do and its mostly for functional reasons, I’ve had some aesthetic improvement but i seem to have plataued because of bad posture because of school exams and that. Hope anyone finds that tip interesting let me know
I've found that after doing this for a while you can even induce this type of swallow without needing saliva. This allows you to swallow more often, which I think makes a huge difference as this is where the primary force comes from.
Yeah like wtf is an inter oral vacuum? I watched this video because mikes video was utter gibberish aswell. Still don’t know what the fuck I’m meant to do lol
@ think I’ve got the hang of it now 😅 all I did to learn was swallow then hold that position which ensured my back third was up. Been doing it since that comment 3y ago
This was a great tip. It's effective. I've found that my compressed neck posture is the result of not only lack of mandibular real estate and oral volume, but also the trapezius muscles catering to an injury at the base of the skull, which is the spinal/nerve compression and the source of my headaches. To elongate the neck and tuck the chin is to release the strain; but the body feels like reverting to this natural position IS THE STRAIN. The body learns a tight, defensive posture. I had a similar experience with a lower lumbar injury where my hips catered to a herniated disk, resulting in a forward tilt of the hips, which furthers the injury; the body is uncomfortable with releasing the tension at first because the muscles have learned a new defensive posture. With my jaws and neck, I find that if I can maintain even a halfway decent mew while relaxing the trapezius muscles (and shoulders back), the skull rotates down into what feels at first like an engaged/unnatural/strained chin tuck, but it's the trapezius re-learning it's native posture, to relax and hold the skull vertically. At first it almost feels numb, until the rush of bloodflow fills the injury. The same with my low back. This for me provides a natural thrust up and forward, ability to get that rear third of the tongue on the palette, and it takes a lot of discipline to maintain. The discipline to relax, and to let the abs support the entire mid-back and thus the neck and shoulders. It's fascinating. This is new for me at 5 months with AGGA, and it's totally anecdotal of course, but I'm just now starting to appreciate how consistently and detrimentally I've been catering to the occiptal injury over the years. Thanks for all you do!
Like you said in earlier videos, just walking in circles relaxing the shoulders combined with a solid mew and chin tuck is great therapy, and it's much harder than it looks.
I'm realizing that I can not only move the back of the tongue upward - I can move the soft palate forward and downward to meet it. This opens up the breathing airway behind the palate and makes breathing throughout the hold a lot easier and more natural. I place my tip of my tongue a cm behind the teeth and lift the back of it up (took a few days to learn) and now I pull the soft palate forward to meet it (maybe less down than forward, actually). So it feels like my palate is pushing forward against the root of my tongue pushing back. Like a wrestling match almost. Really strengthens the muscles invovled. Took a few days to learn but I can feel it pretty distinctly now. Also, look up oropharyngeal exercises here on youtube. There are lots of great vids. I like these two: th-cam.com/video/wNscQ3bGxNk/w-d-xo.html and also (more in depth) th-cam.com/video/VdRmsJYb8_Y/w-d-xo.html . Both will help your tongue and soft palate mobility and strength, making mewing easier. Good luck and enjoy!
What I've realized is that this was probably much easier for our ancestors due to their wide and flat palates. Without a vault and with a palate in the low 50s in IMW, you would probably get a good suction hold with just one swallow. th-cam.com/video/nHn6vWY25F0/w-d-xo.html The difference Mike Mew illustrates with these palates is interesting, first one is more vaulted while second is wider but also flatter. One thing I've noticed with your AGGA case is that AGGA doesn't purely push forward but also a little up, this seems to lessen a vaulted palate. I've noticed this in other AGGA cases as well, the difference in their oral volume before and after as well as the flatness of their palate. Expansion appears to occur on a curve, not entirely straight, I'm not sure how to explain it but it's like if you took two parallel lines running vertical and moved only the bottom points outward.
Wow that's a great video you linked too. I recommend everyone check it out, it is very short. Without a doubt, every aspect of Mewing and life, really, is easier with a wider, flatter maxilla. This is why I am so grateful to be having a successful MSE treatment. IMO there is no better way for modern people to make huge gains in the direction of that wide, flat maxilla which is so damn important.
I can't get how to gather all the saliva of the mouth in the top of the tongue without suction of the cheekbones muscles and the tongue going to the teeth. Can you help me?
get used to the feeling by trying it while lying flat on your back first. this will make it easier for you to engage that part of your tongue muscle without the added resistance of gravity. once you know how it's supposed to feel (back of tongue pressed flush to the uvula), then you can start to train the muscle to get stronger and more dexterous. you will use a little strength and control to raise the back of the tongue up, but once it's there, you can just use suction to hold it there - it will be on and off until it begins to feel comfortable and form into a habit / reflex
OMG I just now finally found it!!! Do you know how long I’ve tried to find that “sweet spot” while mewing? I realized my head wasn’t in the proper position so of course my tongue couldn’t find the correct posture either. But when I just now concentrated on pulling the back of my skull back and up so it’s in perfect alignment w my neck and back and then when I closed my mouth and put the back of my tongue in that suction spot, all of a sudden it now feels totally comfortable and I can breathe like this! Thank you for the vid cuz it really just helped me to figure out what I was doing wrong. Note to others: made sure your head and neck are in correct posture while mewing so you get the right spot.
@@reacting2youtube991 Yes. You should feel the most pressure with the back of your tongue, that back part should be slightly suctioned to the back upper pallet.
@@reacting2youtube991 you should feel pressure more in your cheekbone area. You don’t want to clench your jaw at all, just lightly touch your teeth together, don’t clench.
Okay so i was stuck on this for a while not knowing if i was doing it correctly. But when the back is engaged it blocks your but you can lightly release and sounds like a snore like strugling to breath. Keep it engaged but release a bit more to fully breath from your nose, the snoring goes away but you still feel the engaging, like youre playing with a clutch in a car, like a sweetspot you wanna hold. When you dont want to actively engage you can release slightly to be a regular but back part takes a mindful engagement until you get used to it. Thats why i think.
The way I like to do it is by creating friction by dragging forward the tongue on the contour of the palate while making sure that whole of it stays in contact with palate.
I can't, even the sing method or smiling and swallowing method don't work, when i am doing this, i feel lot of saliva in the back third and my tongue won't come up, even when i swallow... This is so hard aha
My best way to get my back of the tongue on the roof of my mouth is that I do McKenzie chin tuck while swallowing and keep it that way for 3-5 seconds then relax little by little what I noticed it does is that it also helps me get good neck posture even when I relax which has eventually changed little by little my neck posture to be great and not to mention the immense pressure we get due to swallowing while chin tucking ..
@@Conniferr yes it helped me a lot I started when I was 18 and I’m 23 now the main thing that it improved was my pencil neck that I had went away and now my neck looks muscular and masculine as it also widened my windpipe through which my breathing and stuffy nose disappeared, another thing was it changed my sleep efficiency, my voice, my posture of my upper back and neck , my chewing strength, my headaches, my nose also used to be a bit droopy at the end making it look blown up and big which also went away as my face uplifted it caused my bones in nose also to be lifted and made my nose look more upright (still not totally perfect as mewing process is slow but if done right very effective) it also created space for my wisdom teeth in my lower jaw and not to mention the obvious jaw size and appearance these are just few of the benefits that i got from mewing for 5 years still more to go
@@Conniferr Sure, so what I do is I swallow my spit (without poking your neck forward while swallowing , which most of us do , which also explains our compromised windpipe and oesophagus to make enough room for us to swallow, so make sure your head and neck stays still when you swallow) and I feel my back of the tongue touching the roof I hold that as it is then try to create a vaccum by swallowing bit by bit till I find a comfortable vacuum which you can hold throughout whole day without efforts and then I hold it you’ll feel gradually the strength increasing as your tongue gets worked out , that’s how I do it
I found it was a lot easier to do the back third of the mewing posture after doing Jawning a couple of times. Really hypertrophies the muscles involved in keeping the back third of the tongue up quickly. At least in my experience.
@@jolie6772 *Edit: Incorrect see other post* You do a deep mackenzie chin tuck and maintain it. You then engage the back third with such intensity that you force the mouth open whilst in the chin tucked state. Call Jawning because it looks a bit like a yawn. The idea is that the chin tuck prevent the head rising from the force and the jaw struggles to open because there is nowhere for it to go. This allows you to get a really strong "overcoming isometric" contraction on the tongue. In bodybuilding, overcoming isometrics are the best type of exercise for training neural drive. So it will help you get some mind muscle connection. If your tongue ever gets strong enough it will double up and help hypertrophy the muscles responsible for maintaining good neck posture too. Just remember to stretch all your neck muscles regularly so you don't get flexibility issues and asymmetries. Just don't overdo it. Treat it like any other workout and give it good rest between sessions.
@@jolie6772 Sorry, just remembered that is the other exercise. Its been a while since I thought about doing it because frankly I haven't needed to. Hypertrophy was fast and stayed around so I didn’t need to do it that often and was a bit forgetful. Jawning is similar to what I wrote previously in that you keep a chin tuck position and engage the rear third as much as possible. The difference is that you start with your mouth as wide open as possible, to the extent that your tongue probably won’t touch the palate at all. You then shut your mouth while maintaining a strong rear third contraction. As you shut it the pressure put on your tongue by the palate will slowly get more and more extreme until eventually it overwhelms it. This improves on the overcoming isometric I discussed in the previous post by turning it into an eccentric contraction at above concentric 1 rep max. (I.e. the weight is too heavy to be lifted only slowly dropped[A negative rep]). This type of motion has the benefits of an overcoming isometric in generating neural drive, but has the added benefit of generating muscular microtears in the tongue (One of the three drivers of muscle growth and in my opinion the most important one). So not only does it increase muscle size up to the myonuclei limit of the cell like the other methods, it actually allows more myonuclei fusion from satellite cells to repair the tears. Potentially allowing you to get a monster tongue if you're diligent.
I used to think the burning sensation meant i was doint it wrong, thanks for claryifying. Also, where do you position the tip of the tounge; for me it if i put it on the roof, the tounge wont mold fully and bends. Thank you in advane brother.
I don't get it, i've been following this guide for a very long time and i don't feel any pressure on my back tongue, i just look constipated af for some reason lol
I feel that if you make that vacuum you talk about here, I’m inevitably sucking my cheeks in, which I don’t think would be good for our goal. I find easier to make the movement in reverse, from the back 1/3 of the tongue, so that’s already in place. It helps me a lot to pull up the hyoid bone up, which is linked to skeletal muscles, so it could be potentially trained. And therefor, I believe it could be need to be well trained over all, cause the whole body works together, and if a part is causing an imbalance it will affect it all.
I think this was the final piece of the mewing puzzle for me. Breaking it down into the two steps of gathering then swallowing saliva was really useful. Thanks so much for this.
This is what debunks mewing. The back third of the tongue is what blocks the airway when swallowing. It's supposed to block the airway no matter how forward grown your maxilla is
I don’t get it. I gather spit and swallow and hold the swallow? What is the difference between just doing a slit chin tuck and gather spit and swallowing it? And do you have to dry out your tongue and hold it bc I don’t get why this will help
Hi, Great Video! I would like to ask if you can you make a video about Closed-mouth snoring? or just snoring in general because when i do the technique of swallowing my saliva for my tongue to stick on the roof before I fall asleep , I snore with my mouth closed when sleeping on my back and I would like to get rid of it if its possible. I have been mewing for almost 5 months and how long does it take to see some forward growth in the maxilla? Thanks.
I am very grateful sir for the video that you have posted in your YT channel. I have been doing it since a few weeks. Actually I have got a slight overbite , What I wanted to ask is since I have got an overbite how should the teeth be placed while mewing.My Condition_Having an overbite my upper teeth(Jaw) are slightly ahead of below ones. when it is so(i.e. in overbite postion) my upper molar premolars and most of back teeth are in contact of down ones. But if i try to make contact of my front teeth I cannot make contact of back teeth. SoWhat should I do while mewing??Should I make contact of my front teeth and not care about contact of back teeth or should i remain in same overrbite position and do mewing??
I say the word ing and then keep it up I feel my tongue touching the 3rd part but it's kind hard to breathe and I hear my breath sound like I'm snoring
@@MohamedSayed24_ practice i remeber once i was mewing while sleeping and i suddenly choked and my tongue got stuck completely and closed my airway and i was about to die . I had to cough hardly to pull my tongue out
Hi Ronald, recently i found out a technique to get the tongue suctioned hard on the palate, not sure if it's the correct way, but it's pretty much suctioning up the middle part of the tongue, after doing that i noticed my teeth get suctioned shut and also a bit of suction on my cheeks. Is this the right thing? or is the vacuum from my tongue pulling in on the teeth? cheers
I don't get it, I swallow and try to move the back of the tongue up but it's not really working, no suction at all except for when I suck myself on my teeth (this is not how its meant to be i guess)
i cant empty my mouth, everytime i swallow the saliva i thinks i made vacuum but suddenly i notice that there is more saliva and i again swallow this cycle repeats and i cant mew what should i do
Hi buddy, can i get jawline like you by mewing. Let me explain you my comdition , My chin is back, my lower front teeth(1) i crooked(right one lower incisor, my 1 left molar is is extremely inwards . Other teeth are aligned but are not in perfect angle i.e. some bunch of teeth inwards angling and some buch outwards not too much but enough to make my jaw look smaller .can i get it all done by mewing
I’m not sure if this is a me thing or a general thing. But I need no saliva and and I don’t even need to close my mouth to suck the tongue up. To me it’s literally like inhaling and it takes no effort. The hard thing about it for me is that I can do it “too hard” and gag because of it
Mediocre Benjamin same thing for me! I remember in the past that I would like make the vaccum thing to itch my throat. Of course I never knew I was doing it though. It’s just so effortless to keep my tongue up there
John D yeah, that’s the case. if you force yourself to maintain that posture like you swallowing long enough, the body would adapt and there will be no double chin. That’s the theory of mewing.
@@Sariine436 you have to exercise. first do the reps without breath..by the time it will start to feel more comfortable and eventually, you will learn to breath while doing so.
He had 4 premolars extracted and retracted. He then reopened the spaces and I think he's gonna get implants. I had 4 premolars extracted and retracted too 😩
what to do if I can only get the right side of my tongue fully up? left side seems to have a tiny bit of space or not pressuring enough, I guess it has to do with one side of the face being slightly higher than the other.
what do you think about "thumb pulling"? i'm planning turning this method to FAKE AGGA.. and i have crossbite and i'm planning turning this method to FAKE MSE lol
Dude, after seeing how much effort it took to split the suture even with MSE and a corticotomy, I am really skeptical about being able to split the suture using just the tongue or even the tongue + thumbs. But you can try.
If I feel my cheekbone am I doing it right? Also when I clench my teeth my tongue goes up and my neck goes up as well. If my neck muscles go up am I doing it right?
My mid and front part of my tongue has been on the roof my mouth for a year but I didn't have the back third on the roof. I've seen really good results but myback third isn't up which I can't breath when I do. Ill just try every day most of the day consciously doing it I guess.. I didn't think itwas possible but when I swallow with the back third up it stays there haha
My back third can’t come up all the way simply due to space. I got rid of my top retainer and got a fixed bottom one and started mewing today. I can get the front and middle part up, and I’m hoping on seeing some progress even if It’s not as good as having the whole tongue up
I’m thinking about getting my tongue tie removed. It’s so hard for me to mew because of this. What’re your thoughts on getting a tongue tie removed? Did you get proper tongue posture right after?
Yo guys, just say n for a couple seconds, as soon as you feel little connection from the root of your tongue just place your two thumbs under your chin and the root of your tongue will stay there I promise
Wow, here I haven’t been touching the third, but I couldn’t get it up. After doing this a few times I can hold it up for a bit without doing it. I thought I might have been tongue tied by I think I might not be after this.
@@backtr1ggs 100% thats what i discovered after doimg my own research and ignoring stuping people telling me that i have not enough space and stupid shit like that And i made a reddit post addressing this for new people that they should relax a bit after swallowing because when swallowing the tongue blocks the airways

Keep it engaged but release a bit more to fully breath from your nose, the snoring goes away but you still feel the engaging, like youre playing with a clutch in a car, like a sweetspot you wanna hold. When you dont want to actively engage you can release slightly to be a regular but back part takes a mindful engagement until you get used to it. Thats why i think.
The way I like to do it is by creating friction by dragging forward the tongue on the contour of the palate while making sure that whole of it stays in contact with palate.
I agree with the hard swallow and the eating of harder foods
Very nice video
Thanks for tuning in.
damn its so hard to do this thing
And we are supposed to do it since birth.
@@kseniyazarubina5484 it wouldn't be so hard if we were doing it since we were born.we are born with our maxilla in its ideal position.
I can't, even the sing method or smiling and swallowing method don't work, when i am doing this, i feel lot of saliva in the back third and my tongue won't come up, even when i swallow... This is so hard aha
cool guy, cool video and cool explanation
My best way to get my back of the tongue on the roof of my mouth is that I do McKenzie chin tuck while swallowing and keep it that way for 3-5 seconds then relax little by little what I noticed it does is that it also helps me get good neck posture even when I relax which has eventually changed little by little my neck posture to be great and not to mention the immense pressure we get due to swallowing while chin tucking ..
has mewing helped? at what age did you start
@@Conniferr yes it helped me a lot I started when I was 18 and I’m 23 now the main thing that it improved was my pencil neck that I had went away and now my neck looks muscular and masculine as it also widened my windpipe through which my breathing and stuffy nose disappeared, another thing was it changed my sleep efficiency, my voice, my posture of my upper back and neck , my chewing strength, my headaches, my nose also used to be a bit droopy at the end making it look blown up and big which also went away as my face uplifted it caused my bones in nose also to be lifted and made my nose look more upright (still not totally perfect as mewing process is slow but if done right very effective) it also created space for my wisdom teeth in my lower jaw and not to mention the obvious jaw size and appearance these are just few of the benefits that i got from mewing for 5 years still more to go
@@kshitijmagare2489 Thats awesome to hear, do you have tips on how to get the back of the tongue on the roof?
@@Conniferr Sure, so what I do is I swallow my spit (without poking your neck forward while swallowing , which most of us do , which also explains our compromised windpipe and oesophagus to make enough room for us to swallow, so make sure your head and neck stays still when you swallow) and I feel my back of the tongue touching the roof I hold that as it is then try to create a vaccum by swallowing bit by bit till I find a comfortable vacuum which you can hold throughout whole day without efforts and then I hold it you’ll feel gradually the strength increasing as your tongue gets worked out , that’s how I do it
@@kshitijmagare2489 would u like to share pics? I'll share mine aswell. How did the pencil neck inprove exactly?
How many times do I need to gather spit
i just think of " THE JAW IS LAVA ! " and the back of my tongue jumps
I found it was a lot easier to do the back third of the mewing posture after doing Jawning a couple of times. Really hypertrophies the muscles involved in keeping the back third of the tongue up quickly. At least in my experience.
whats jawing?
@@jolie6772 *Edit: Incorrect see other post* You do a deep mackenzie chin tuck and maintain it. You then engage the back third with such intensity that you force the mouth open whilst in the chin tucked state. Call Jawning because it looks a bit like a yawn.
The idea is that the chin tuck prevent the head rising from the force and the jaw struggles to open because there is nowhere for it to go. This allows you to get a really strong "overcoming isometric" contraction on the tongue.
In bodybuilding, overcoming isometrics are the best type of exercise for training neural drive. So it will help you get some mind muscle connection.
If your tongue ever gets strong enough it will double up and help hypertrophy the muscles responsible for maintaining good neck posture too.
Just remember to stretch all your neck muscles regularly so you don't get flexibility issues and asymmetries.
Just don't overdo it. Treat it like any other workout and give it good rest between sessions.
@@jolie6772 Sorry, just remembered that is the other exercise. Its been a while since I thought about doing it because frankly I haven't needed to. Hypertrophy was fast and stayed around so I didn’t need to do it that often and was a bit forgetful.
Jawning is similar to what I wrote previously in that you keep a chin tuck position and engage the rear third as much as possible. The difference is that you start with your mouth as wide open as possible, to the extent that your tongue probably won’t touch the palate at all. You then shut your mouth while maintaining a strong rear third contraction. As you shut it the pressure put on your tongue by the palate will slowly get more and more extreme until eventually it overwhelms it.
This improves on the overcoming isometric I discussed in the previous post by turning it into an eccentric contraction at above concentric 1 rep max. (I.e. the weight is too heavy to be lifted only slowly dropped[A negative rep]). This type of motion has the benefits of an overcoming isometric in generating neural drive, but has the added benefit of generating muscular microtears in the tongue (One of the three drivers of muscle growth and in my opinion the most important one). So not only does it increase muscle size up to the myonuclei limit of the cell like the other methods, it actually allows more myonuclei fusion from satellite cells to repair the tears. Potentially allowing you to get a monster tongue if you're diligent.
I used to think the burning sensation meant i was doint it wrong, thanks for claryifying. Also, where do you position the tip of the tounge; for me it if i put it on the roof, the tounge wont mold fully and bends. Thank you in advane brother.
Yeah that's a sign that your maxilla is too small. It's a pretty universal experience.
@@JawHacks too small laterally or forwards?
@@semajcarlson4038 both directions
I don't get it, i've been following this guide for a very long time and i don't feel any pressure on my back tongue, i just look constipated af for some reason lol
What if the back of the tongue pushes on your back molars because palette is too narrow? Would that cause those molars to loosen/become unstable?
I cannot feel
May be it the middle toung or bottom toung I don't know it's so confusing
why is bro salivating so much
I feel that if you make that vacuum you talk about here, I’m inevitably sucking my cheeks in, which I don’t think would be good for our goal.
I find easier to make the movement in reverse, from the back 1/3 of the tongue, so that’s already in place.
It helps me a lot to pull up the hyoid bone up, which is linked to skeletal muscles, so it could be potentially trained. And therefor, I believe it could be need to be well trained over all, cause the whole body works together, and if a part is causing an imbalance it will affect it all.
i agree with you this video sucks
My will power is crazy I’ve been doing this for over 20 minutes it hurts like hell
thats when you're doing it correctly, after a while you'll get used to it and it's second nature
Wow, thank you heaps. This is great
I love you bro thanks , life changer trick
I think this was the final piece of the mewing puzzle for me. Breaking it down into the two steps of gathering then swallowing saliva was really useful. Thanks so much for this.
This is what debunks mewing. The back third of the tongue is what blocks the airway when swallowing. It's supposed to block the airway no matter how forward grown your maxilla is
Ive been trying for several months but i cant breath while maintaining the swallow position its quite impossible
Even now i have fupl control of my tongue so i cam raise the posterior 3rd without swallowing and still i cam breath when doing it
@Darius thanks dude, im pretty happy with what ive achieved. I just need to little bit leaner.
This is true. The airway is blocked while swallowing exactly so the food doesn't fall into it
I don’t get it. I gather spit and swallow and hold the swallow? What is the difference between just doing a slit chin tuck and gather spit and swallowing it? And do you have to dry out your tongue and hold it bc I don’t get why this will help
you have to know about proper swallowing
Hi, Great Video! I would like to ask if you can you make a video about Closed-mouth snoring? or just snoring in general because when i do the technique of swallowing my saliva for my tongue to stick on the roof before I fall asleep , I snore with my mouth closed when sleeping on my back and I would like to get rid of it if its possible. I have been mewing for almost 5 months and how long does it take to see some forward growth in the maxilla? Thanks.
Update has growth happen?
Damn.. this is awesome.
I am very grateful sir for the video that you have posted in your YT channel. I have been doing it since a few weeks.
Actually I have got a slight overbite , What I wanted to ask is since I have got an overbite how should the teeth be placed while mewing.My Condition_Having an overbite my upper teeth(Jaw) are slightly ahead of below ones. when it is so(i.e. in overbite postion) my upper molar premolars and most of back teeth are in contact of down ones. But if i try to make contact of my front teeth I cannot make contact of back teeth. SoWhat should I do while mewing??Should I make contact of my front teeth and not care about contact of back teeth or should i remain in same overrbite position and do mewing??
I say the word ing and then keep it up I feel my tongue touching the 3rd part but it's kind hard to breathe and I hear my breath sound like I'm snoring
I guess your doing right it's just constructs Airways a bit to star but as it enlarges it will stop.
@@lukeleighton3872 When I do that I can not breathe you can give an explanation of what I do not do right
@@thchannel5647 you were just blocking your airways with your tongue
@@johanliebert6859 how to not block it
@@MohamedSayed24_ practice i remeber once i was mewing while sleeping and i suddenly choked and my tongue got stuck completely and closed my airway and i was about to die . I had to cough hardly to pull my tongue out
Hi Ronald, recently i found out a technique to get the tongue suctioned hard on the palate, not sure if it's the correct way, but it's pretty much suctioning up the middle part of the tongue, after doing that i noticed my teeth get suctioned shut and also a bit of suction on my cheeks. Is this the right thing? or is the vacuum from my tongue pulling in on the teeth? cheers
this man looks like hercules
I don't get it, I swallow and try to move the back of the tongue up but it's not really working, no suction at all except for when I suck myself on my teeth (this is not how its meant to be i guess)
Do you know how to lift the hyoid bone?
Tongue can’t fit in the palate.. what should i do
Just tilt your jaw upwards and suck your tongue in until your throat opening feels somewhat clogged.
can you make a video on cheek atrophy
A struggle fr
Can you please help. I can do it but it just blocks my airway, is this the lack of oral volume u were speaking of?
Is the tongue supposed to cover the soft pallet?
How many time are we supposed to do it in a day
The tongue should touch the highest part of the palate? how is that possible?
bro just say the letter 'K' and see ur toungue back is getting up
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
thank you
the front my mouth is not covered however the back of my mouth is anyone got tips?
Somehow I still can’t get to come up
how do you have such tight skin?
For the second swallow. My tongue will like “pop” into place when it goes into that position.
i cant empty my mouth, everytime i swallow the saliva i thinks i made vacuum but suddenly i notice that there is more saliva and i again swallow this cycle repeats and i cant mew what should i do
Hi buddy, can i get jawline like you by mewing.
Let me explain you my comdition ,
My chin is back, my lower front teeth(1) i crooked(right one lower incisor, my 1 left molar is is extremely inwards .
Other teeth are aligned but are not in perfect angle i.e. some bunch of teeth inwards angling and some buch outwards not too much but enough to make my jaw look smaller .can i get it all done by mewing
I’m not sure if this is a me thing or a general thing. But I need no saliva and and I don’t even need to close my mouth to suck the tongue up. To me it’s literally like inhaling and it takes no effort. The hard thing about it for me is that I can do it “too hard” and gag because of it
Mediocre Benjamin same thing for me! I remember in the past that I would like make the vaccum thing to itch my throat. Of course I never knew I was doing it though. It’s just so effortless to keep my tongue up there
My double chin comes down when I swallow
John D yeah, that’s the case. if you force yourself to maintain that posture like you swallowing long enough, the body would adapt and there will be no double chin. That’s the theory of mewing.
@@matkobernatko what if you can't breathe in that posture?
@@Sariine436 you have to exercise. first do the reps without breath..by the time it will start to feel more comfortable and eventually, you will learn to breath while doing so.
Ur not swallowing correctly then it’s supposed to do the opposite
Did mewing cause this guy to have a lisp?
He had 4 premolars extracted and retracted. He then reopened the spaces and I think he's gonna get implants.
I had 4 premolars extracted and retracted too 😩
@@Sariine436 Darn, thank God I had enough brains when I was 20 to tell orthodontist to f off when he wanted to extract my teeth.
Why does my hyoid barely move and why is there a bulge under my neck when I hard mew?
Maybe your tongue is too far back.
And the back of your tongue is too far down.
what to do if I can only get the right side of my tongue fully up? left side seems to have a tiny bit of space or not pressuring enough, I guess it has to do with one side of the face being slightly higher than the other.
I can do it easily but I can't breathe while doing it.
any time i try to activate the back third of my tongue, i feel like i am going to choke
what do you think about "thumb pulling"? i'm planning turning this method to FAKE AGGA.. and i have crossbite and i'm planning turning this method to FAKE MSE lol
Dude, after seeing how much effort it took to split the suture even with MSE and a corticotomy, I am really skeptical about being able to split the suture using just the tongue or even the tongue + thumbs. But you can try.
@@JawHacks Do you think splitting the suture is more about static pressure or sufficient one time force?
@@JawHacks i will let you know if there's any improvement, off course if you want
atahanolcer did it work?
What do I do if the only way u can mew (I have small volume in my mouth) is by pressing my tongue to the front of my teeth?
don't let it touch your front teeth, force your tongue to not touch them
I cant breathe when i do that why
Ok I was going it right
i can do it but i gag so cant hold it...
My back tongue hurts and burns is that a good sign?
Nah wtf?
still hurts?
Gather spit swallow. Got it
If I feel my cheekbone am I doing it right? Also when I clench my teeth my tongue goes up and my neck goes up as well. If my neck muscles go up am I doing it right?
You mean, you lose the fat appearence under your chin ? If so, yes
For some reason i can survive without breathing for i think 15 to 19 sec

omg it works
My mid and front part of my tongue has been on the roof my mouth for a year but I didn't have the back third on the roof. I've seen really good results but myback third isn't up which I can't breath when I do. Ill just try every day most of the day consciously doing it I guess.. I didn't think itwas possible but when I swallow with the back third up it stays there haha
My back third can’t come up all the way simply due to space. I got rid of my top retainer and got a fixed bottom one and started mewing today.
I can get the front and middle part up, and I’m hoping on seeing some progress even if It’s not as good as having the whole tongue up

I’m thinking about getting my tongue tie removed. It’s so hard for me to mew because of this. What’re your thoughts on getting a tongue tie removed? Did you get proper tongue posture right after?
I recommend just stretching the tongue.

i feel like it blocks breathing a bit?
burningknuckle26 totally normal. Just takes time to open the airways

The back 3rd is on up but I don’t feel it in my cranium
Yo guys, just say n for a couple seconds, as soon as you feel little connection from the root of your tongue just place your two thumbs under your chin and the root of your tongue will stay there I promise
Wow, here I haven’t been touching the third, but I couldn’t get it up. After doing this a few times I can hold it up for a bit without doing it. I thought I might have been tongue tied by I think I might not be after this.
teeth importance?
I do chin tucks against the wall with my whole body touching and hold 20 second multipel time a day Lewis my natural posture good
Say ing words and that lifts the back 3rd
