- This video is one that I presented in Harvard, at the Ancestral Health Symposium. It is a good overview of my thoughts and ideas, we have progressed a little but it is still very relevant.
Please do look at the playlist of more specific information, especially the one of swallowing training, I am asked about how to do this too frequently.

Thanks for your comments, please spread the word, people need to know that there are alternatives to what they are being told, MM
You and your father are brilliant. I'm 30 and I've been eating almonds, carrots, and green apple because of you. You sirs will change a generation.
***** Closed and relaxed. Your tongue only needs to apply light pressure against your palate, not too hard, though, it still has to feel natural. Just close your teeth, tongue against palate and breath through your nose (i.e no mouthbreathing). Even when swallowing, keep your tongue up there. If you have questions, let me know :)
Amazing stuff man I've told my whole family and friends about it. So simple yet affects so many things (face, breathing, ears, throat etc.)
***** Well I watched this guys stuff and I bought a doggy chew toy that I chew all day long outside of that I also now eat raw steak and try and crush chicken bones with my jaw. I thought carnivores have the best jaws so I'll be a carnivore now and do what they do.
physcoticweirdo LOL I'm dead bro xD
I believe the way the school system works is a major contributing factor to vertical facial growth. I made strong efforts to correct postural issues this year and I began to notice just how impossible it is to maintain proper posture in a school environment. Sitting down for 6+ hours a day really changes the way the body has to support itself as using core strength to brace the spine is nearly impossible. Also, constantly looking down to take notes enforces a forward head posture for up to 12 straight years as you physically cannot bend your whole body over every time to take notes, especially with desks parallel to the ground. Nearly 100% of kids I see in my school have some sort of body alignment issue.
I also believe technology has become a major factor as well. When I see kids use their phones, they almost always look down. If I use my phone in line with my eyes, my friends tell me I look stupid. This is so sad. It has become the norm to have something wrong with not just faces but entire bodies. This is a really serious problem in the long run and it needs to be recognized and addressed.
Noah Malm this is so true
Good observations. I agree.
Noah Malm Yes yes yes yes yes
Noah Malm I'm trying to write without looking down and I bring a foam roller in a gym bag to support my spine. I'm also planning to buy a Swedish vertical posture backpack.
I’ve noticed old people use their phones in front of their eyes with straight necks.
This is the movement of the future. You are a visionary.
Thank you, after all the bile and vitriol that I receive from my own profession, this is so refreshing to hear. Thanks, M
@@Orthotropics beautiful words and you deserve them.
normal orthodontist only make "straight teeth". orthotropic make " nice face"
Straight teeth won't create a good looking face, but a good-looking face will create straight teeth.
@@Desiqnify yeah like he said, today's medecine cure symptoms and not the origine of the symptoms. This guy wants to help people for that because medecine of today wants to cure symptoms to get money

Hard mewing level while watching: over 9000
I had Bucky teeth as a kid, had poor posture then had braces when I was 13.. My posture was shocking growing up breathing was shocking forward head mouth breather everything.. Worked out for years trying to correct posture back pain neck pain headaches.. Slowing researching for myself... And I stumbled across jaw allignment and cervical spine... I started doing jaw excersises and making a conscious effort all day my breathing improvement is amazing stress is gone... If I can get get my jaw and neck in neutral allignment my pelvis corrects I can deep breathe with out thinking... This guy is on the money... The body goes where the head goes
+Dejan Semenec what are those jaw exercises you mentioned?
Did your teeth get straigt aswell??
yes where are the exercises?
Yeah, what exercises did you do?
@@fishofgold6553 Probably just mewing and chin tuck, I'm guessing, maybe mixing some cervical spine stretching/relaxing exercises.

More people need to know about this...this is gold.
2 hours ago I was having a locked-jaw (lockjaw), after watching this video and keeping my tongue to the roof of my mouth for 2 hours, already my lockjaw is gone and there’s no more pain in my jaw 👍
I started doing this nearly 20 years ago. I wanted my face to look less round when I was obese at around 14. It works, I have a defined jawline and unlike my parents I don't snore or grind my teeth anymore.
What made you start doing it?
I think the length of time that babies are breastfed creates massive changes in human faces and jaw placement. Parents in ancient societies breastfed their kids until they were 4 years old. Parents in ancient societies would not give babies lean meat and crunchy vegetables, because they would choke. Parents in modern societies give their babies oatmeal, porridge, french fries, bottles, sippy cups, pacifiers, and soft foods and generally wean their babies before six months. My husband has four siblings, and each of them was nursed longer and longer as his mom became a Leche League fanatic. The first child was nursed for one year, had braces, and developed classic signs of receding chin and prominent nose. The last sibling was nursed for four years. She almost looks identical to the first one, but is considered classically good looking without the receding chin or prominent nose. There are very slight changes that are hard to put your finger on. But those extra three years of being nursed made a difference.
Im glad that I can help my little brother who is 3years today, I will teach him all that Mew taught to us, he will get a fucking golden face witj brad pitt jawline
@@yilmaz.design literally what im thinking now with my niece
I can't agree, My mom explained to me she breastfed me pretty healthily plus she comes from a 3d world country so modern society and all these Ideas of less breast milk did not exist in her mother hood life..
I'm 16 years old, I breathed through my mouth for my whole life and only recently started breathing through my nose, now I went full in the Mewing
I mew all day, I'm always thinking of where my tongue is, eating hard food and I hope when I'll be 23 I will reach the best face I can get
Ryder Wilson good luck. Also 16 and hoping to be satisfied at around 24 ish
I was breast fed for 2.5years
Get this man a damn medical prize
Mike Mew really is a bit harsh, but it is the truth.
For the 200.000+ years we have roamed the earth, we just recently started eating all the super processed soft foods. Our jaws and muscles have developed for tough chewing, yet we've become lazy and weak, resulting in ugly and unhealthy jaws.
With the ultra-sanitary environment we've created, our immune systems become weak and under stimulated. This leads to a hypervigilant immune system, which in turn lead to allergies and finally, a congested nose. So we breathe through our mouths. And so on with the incorrect oral posture, vertical growth, crooked teeth, blocked airways and unattractive faces.
We sit all day working in front of a computer, back hunched over, neck and head protruding forward. We ruin our bone density, muscle mass and cardiovascular system. Poor posture and health is the result of that.
We enforce a strict sleep-wake cycle for everyone, usually from 00:00 til 08:00/12 pm to 8 am. We do this despite knowing that it may interfere with the natural, genetically-dispositioned circadian rhythm.
We've truly ruined ourselves since the industrial revolution. We've become lazy, weak boned, weak muscles, poorer breathers, constantly fatigued. This is all also highly detrimental to our mental well being.
I'm not implying that we should start becoming hunter-gatherers again. We just need to reinvent society and the inhuman, anti-natural norms and expectations.
Don't be overly sanitary. That way we prevent allergies.
Make sure to exercise and develop our bodies from an early age.
Make food tougher. Scrap babyfood and feedingbottles. They're unnatural.
We don't need eugenics. We need to reshape the civilization, which has only existed for roughly 6000 years, to the evolution we, as a species, have gone through. Which has been for millions of years.
ProfessorHacks ..everything said right to the point... Correctly well said dude... I too thought much damage is cuz of super processed sodt foods unlike my dad and early civilization guys who crushed hard meat bones and nuts with their hard molars as a result a better jaw
We also don't get enough vitamin D, esp with the weather modification in recent years trying to dim the sun and all. Vit D keeps bone structure strong.
nice, hope you can aad me.on fb wannt roo listen to more hacks like this deforcer333@gmail.com
@@sl4983 Just 15 minutes of exposure to the sunlight is the reccomended amount of time to attain Vitamin D via the sun, however, it does not fully support the body's need for it. Therefore, the diet must supply Vitamin D; I just felt the need to clarify that.
Gonedridge, Or one can supplement with vitamin D.

Thanks dr Mike Mew.you are opening new frontiers of light on orthodontic knowledge .
I can only imagine the amount of analysis Dr. Mike must have put into whether or not to sport that soul patch...

lol, indeed. He should sport it more. It tones down his intense academic style. Hints that he may enjoy funk, jazz, and letting loose over a good drink.
Mike Mew, the man, the legend, knows what he's doing.
This explains soooo much and connects the dots i realised years ago, thanks.
Greatful to the gods for people like mike mew! After 8 months of mewing I fhave much better and developed facial features. Wish these things were said by the dentist
THE WAY HE ENDED THE PRESENTATION LMAO 19:45
Mike Mew = legend
You've really helped me on my journey on finding my true potential! Thank you 🙏
God damn i knew it. I knew braces made me ugly and now i know i was right
Hi, I just wanna say ora ora ora.
Love you Dr Mike Mew and your Dad!
This is so interesting. My family has REALLY bad teeth. Somehow I happen to have very straight teeth. We just thought I hit the genetic lottery. However, I naturally rest my face naturally exactly as he said. I'm no model but I'm considered good looking or a "catch" as some would call it.
So awesome, so glad I found this channel...
Fascinating presentation. Do I have it right?
It's sounds like keeping your teeth closed is like having them fall and seat into place by themselves. Acting like their own braces.
If you keep your teeth open; then the teeth are free to move all about and the tongue can make it worse if it's free to push on the teeth as well.
Outstanding Presentation! The last comment about CPAP is an eye opener!
Gregory Sykes CPAP slow death
What would you recommend for Sleep Apnea patients then? I'm aware that expanding the dental arch and moving the jaws forward seem to be the only long term beneficial treatment. Doubt that will be affordable in the UK though, I have positional sleep apnea so I sleep find so long as a sleep on my side
Viktor Galya it’s not my focus and the moment but you need to game n an upswing in facial form. Same as for all the other symptoms of CFD. But of course it’s what people do for them selves not what someone can do for them #mikemew
aye my boi mike is live 🤯🔥
Thanks for this video! Full of very useful information
I love how he’s just calling people out for their “bad faces”. lol That’s funny. I’ve been a mouth breather since a child. Had my adenoids removed as a teen. I’m going to try this and see if it helps my breathing. 🤞🏾
any updates?
Actually I think it did help. It forced me to breath deeper from my diaphragm rather than taking shallow breaths from the nose. Weird. lol I haven’t seen any changes to my face however but I’m not all that consistent. 🤷🏽♀️ I’m pretty happy with my face though. ☺️
how about now?
@@angelolacap9681 Basically a Hollywood beauty at this point
@@ZipporahAanael It's because your facial development already finished when you are in your 20s.
8:05 when you don't get the joke but everyone else is laughing
Same! I tried to figure it out bt I stiill don't get the joke
I think likely they are laughing because what he is saying is going against the grain. Basically laughing at him for daring to say something that may disagree with.
She's so freaking cute tho.
I didnt get it also after watching that part three times thinking i missed something :D
Some people laugh about anything
The joke is that some scientists will say your problem come is multifactorial but in fact they know nothing about it
Dr Mike, you should try looking for more pictures because sometimes I don't follow what you are describing.
Honestly this all seems pretty compelling.
This helps further inspire me to go into the Dental field. I have developed a passion for this area of dentistry :).
Wolfstaagnighthunter how is that going
Excellent. Thank you.
May the for be with MEW!
Changes can happen in a very short period of time. I had a very tough pregnancy last year, and just after giving birth I noticed that my teeth had shifted. I believe the reason was that I had to sit down for the most part of my pregnancy, and doing stuff where I also had to look down. I started watching these videos 1 weeks ago, and have made changes as to where I place my tough, and also try to look less down. My teeth has already started to go back to where they used to be.
Just wanted to point out that pregnancy hormones cause more flexibility (for the birth), also more women are flexible in general - something we need to educate women about how things can shift & how to fix like this. Mewing has helped me fix my breathing & posture issues, in turn helping my chronic pain. Turns out I have hyper mobility. Proper tongue posture is even more essential for folks like me with loose joints. It’s nuts this info is still buried almost a decade later. Practically criminal & has to change. Thx for your work on this Mike Mew!
I think it starts early... bottle feeding and tongue tie play a big role in the swallowing patterns that cause crooked teeth.
"lips together, teeth together"
TONGUE ON THE ROOF OF THE MOUTH!!!
Thank you DR Mew this is good news for me now that I found your lecture, your approach to dental health makes perfect sense. 4 years ago I started ALF from Darik Nordstrom DDS
I am far worse now I cant chew my food properly my teeth are sunken into my gums so there is a space the size of my index pinger that i can slide between my lower and upper teeth.
I had all the work done in Norway he used Nordstrom ALF after 3 years of not getting better he added braces on my upper ridge hopping to smash my teeth in to connect with my lower jaw. now i can eat only soft food lost wait.
3 days ago i took all my braces and ALF of the damage is done now i must start from 0 again but this time i am far worse then when i started 4 years ago at least before i started i could eat. I went to a new dentist to take of all the alf and braces she told me this is terrible your whole jaw and bite is damaged not connecting out of place this is horrible.I dont know what to do.
Leif Strøm so now?
From the point of view of anatomy and histology, i would like to think that what Dr Mew is saying could be possible, since the bones are in a way adaptative. Osteoblasts respond to traction and osteoclasts respond to pressure. Of course, the older you are, tge harder it is to get some kind of orthopedic guidance. But right now, with one only video seen i support what this colleage says.
Excellent angle Dr. Mew. Suscribed. Greets from Paraguay.
Dr. Miers. DDS. U.N.A.
Makes me glad I never got braces when I was young I'm 19 planning on getting biobloc braces to get my palate expanded
When you answered the first question about the tongue laying flat/curved, you clucked. Does that mean curved and pressed up against the arch of the palate?
I would love to attend one of these seminars someday soon
this is amazing
When i was just born.
My grandma thought my forehead is projecting outward so she pushed it hard and kept on exerting pressure until it became flat. That’s what my mother told me
Now i feel my forehead is flat and my profile is badly affected. Because genetically our family features are good and symmetrical
I think it has to do with the removal of Wisdom teeth and something about our tongue position within the last 2 or 3 hundred years.

Only 15! I think that you forgot some zeros
Make that 42.

@@Orthotropics 😅. Time changes 🖐👍💥
brilliant info
Ok this is gonna sound weird, but I have had gum pain for weeks now because I clench my teeth at night. And just now, I did the thig you said: mouth closed, teeth almost together and tongue on the roof of my mouth, and the pain has significantly decreased. I dont knowhow tho :S Like how can this have anything to do with this in a matter of minutes.
I've been doing this for 1 day and some of my teeth starts hurting, are they moving or what?
Yeah me too, i started to feel pain when i start eating
Muhd Jazlan okay 2 weeks in lol long way to go, but my jaw muscles got a bit better by chewing 10 chewing gums
The tongue is the antagonist muscle to the chewing muscles. When you keep it flat up on the palate you're making it stronger and that's balancing the grinding. Keep going with the exercies, eventually the muscles will balance out and the grinding will decrease. Your lower jaw also changes angle when you work out your tongue so the chewing force spreads to the forward teeth, not just the back. I've been doing tongue exercises for about a week and already feeling the benefits.
Alex S what exercises are you all doing? Or what term can I research to find them
Haha that was an awesome closing statement.
This video made things very easy to understand compared to the other, shorter ones on this channel. One thing I understood (which also made me sad) is that without Orthotropic intervention at a young age, face shape irregularity becomes permanent. However at the same time you often say in many of your other videos, including this one, that over the years with meticulously improved tongue and jaw posture, people end up looking better!
This is fine when it's all said and done, it's enough to give people of all ages hope, I reckon. However, in the rest of your videos as well as this one, you point out that a consequence of attempting proper tongue-to-palate contact with a malformed jaw or unrefined, misused muscles causes your tongue to push your breathing pathway shut. How are we supposed to overcome this? Your other videos project this issue as more like an obstacle meant to be overcome with time, but in this video that showed horribly slanted jawlines (perpendicular, essentially) it pretty much means that malformed jaws don't form the proper "box" of space for all the muscles to operate properly. How is it meant to be overcome if the face (i.e. primarily the jaw itself) is essentially permanently grown?
I am 21, going on 22 years old in around 4 months and I find that my jaw is perpendicular, with my chin having little to no horizontal gap directly connecting to my neck. In this day and age, people call this a "double chin", but aside from skin flab, I also find that my trachea is positioned quite close to my chin, rather than farther back compared to that of more attractive jawlines.
More importantly, when I manage to succeed in raising the rear-third of my tongue towards my palate, my breathing becomes incredibly difficult, with my breathing turning into snoring practically as my trachea flap vibrates in my throat due to the reduced space from the new force of my tongue that is now disturbing it during this new position.
Is the verdict essentially done? My jaw is now set in stone and I cannot perform proper tongue-to-palate posture because it obstructs my breathing due to my malformed jawline? I will be more than happy to provide pictures. A lengthy reply would be wondrous.
VulcanXIV I totally agrre with what you are asking of Mr. Mew. It gives me hope but then again it doesnt. Ive been eating hard food normally and chewing gum for at least an hour straight a day!
Zach Did you see results? You can always get double jaw/ orthognantic surgery which is permanent
Ivy Ng I sort of see results. I currently have braces to fix an open bite which I suspect was caused by mouth breathing and/or a tongue thrust as given the signs by my orthodonist and Dr. Mew. I've noticed that since I've pressed hard on my palate when swallowing that my jawline is becoming "a little more prominent". My right side of my face when I smile has also been more symmetrical with my left. I'll have to ask my orthodontist if jaw surgery will be needed in the future. I highly doubt it as my mandible doesn't protrude out. They say this orthotropics stuff is pseudo-science but if you practice it religiously for years you may look fantastic! I'm keeping my hopes up!
Zach Okay thank you so much! I got braces which actually widened my maxilla (surprisingly) and fixed my underbite but I still have a complex about my wide lower jaw in comparison to my maxilla and Im planning on surgery. I thought orthotropics would take too long but I'll give it some time.
I'm sure if your jaw isn't protruding you wont' really need it, cosmetic or otherwise. I actually had my palate expanded using a palatal expander for six months. Thankfully I didn't need extractions on any teeth nor would have I opted for it. Just make sure insurance can cover that procedure!
Hi Dr. Mew, my friend is 28 years old.. he wants me to forward this question to you. will his jaw get bigger or wide or just maybe get some result by chewing gum?
This is just amazing! If changes can be made in adults, such as widening the jaw, how are gaps between teeth prevented without orthodontics?
Fantastic
All right then, first of all, I am a little sad I didn’t find this video back in 2013 or 2014, or 2015. Yet perhaps it is better so, for who knows how things might have turned out… Anyway, I’ve been watching attentively, and re-watching the videos of Dr. Mike and Professor John Mew. I can tell you that over three weeks of Mewing my front teeth have begun to slightly position themselves (as originally they should have if my upper dental arch was wide enough to begin with). I also can clearly remark the widening of the maxilla, shaping of my mandible! I must tell you all, as Dr. Mike Mew has said, that it is only YOU and YOU, who can make it work. It requires a lot of discipline (as I live my everyday life since seven years in trying discipline for others, started intermittent fasting, lowered my body fat with tenfold, brought my vision back (I was myopic for eighteen years), etc..). Anyway, I’m 33 years old (in two months 34) at this moment, and I have been wearing braces for two or three years only in my early adolescence. Of course, it caused only a little change, for those braces have been those you take out in the day, wearing them at night (for otherwise cost efficiency and fear for deterioration for prolonged wear - braces in my birth country at that time and stage were very costly and of very poor quality). I will not expound in detail what I do, for Dr. Mike Mew speaks of the methods quite abundantly and clearly in every video and presentations; but mostly I do Mewing, hard Mewing (but with hard Mewing you have to be very-very careful, for even if you are an adult, it moves the teeth at a rapid rate while pushing on the palate!). McKenzie chin tucks (fantastic exercise!), etc, etc… I am documenting with photos the progress every month, as this would take up for many-many years, and for the rest of my life that is. Yet so far, I can tell you, my breathing is much easier, standing and sitting straight slowly becomes natural (as I couldn’t imagine it before to ever happen). Once again, discipline, hard work, and nonetheless dedication is required. I have read many disbelieving comments like “Why isn’t Dr. Mike Mew filthy rich”, or “Sitting on a throne of some sort”, and certain other slandering phrases. Because as he said, this it is the fruit of YOUR hard work, no magic pill, and just for the same reason you won’t see your six pack abs after doing x or x squared repetition of ab presses, only when you get under 11-10% of body fat you will see those abdominal muscles. I’m so far astounded and overwhelmed by the results, grateful and grateful again to Professor John and Dr. Mike Mew, and I am “over the moon” too I have found Mewing in my lifetime! I wish you all the the best Professor and Dr.!
Bobby Tirlea is it still working? Any further tips for someone who is brand new to this?
Massive legends
I really appreciate this talk and all I have learned from Dr Mew, however I think this community has missed the importance to take young children to an ear, nose, and throat doctor for a thorough evaluation of their airways. A lot of us are breathing through our mouths because of allergies or a nasal obstruction. Proper tongue posture will help fix bad habits, but it won't solve the underlying issue if a child physically cannot breathe through their nose due to enlarged tonsils, adenoids, allergies, etc.
Lord Mike was smashing!!
4:33 umm that jawline
I'd like to say that whilst you do raise many good points (and I thank you for telling me how to better shape my jaw through everyday life), I would point out that the quote at 18:50 isn't really "how science moves forward" - if the evidence supports you then you should have all the support you need from the scientific community.
Unless, of course, you meant "you need to support my attempts to raise debate" in which case you are absolutely right.
I wish you were correct and in time I believe that you are however vested interests often hold back change in medicine, when sections of the scientific community will not give their support despite damning evidence. All the help to assist me in raising this debate is very welcome. M
IVIaskerade I have personally suffered very badly due to poor jaw development, long face, very narrow palates, crooked teeth and had a horrendous cross bite (now being fixed with Damon), I was born with terrible asthma from day one, mouth breathing from birth. I have raised many of these issues with my current orthodontist who is doing the Damon treatment (best option I could find within my location) about the finer details here, the view of looking at the broader facial structure, the health implications along with my own endless struggles, and his disinterest has been palpable. It seems they are mostly interested in the clinical structure they have set up, the systems they sell and just creating straight teeth, not a broader approach.
There is a clear mass denial relating to these issues, whether just because of established beliefs or a financial structure, I could only assume if orthodontists corrected such issues pre 10 years old, widened the palates and provided space these people would be far less likely to need future work. Even if one argued that genetics is more of a factor here, there is absolutely no reason at all to not still use preventative care here when the signs are there. Maybe people who have not experienced the complications relating to these issues fail to understand, but trust me, it can be horrendous. Simply not being able to take on sufficient oxygen/sleep properly can impact quality of life greatly, let alone going into the impact it can have on body mechanics or conditions like TMJ (your worst nightmare).
Michael Mew People like you offer a glimmer of hope that the dark ages in dentistry and orthodontic care will actually evolve into a truly supportive healing art. I know exactly what you are explaining from an intuitive stand and from here it is painfully obvious.
Michael Mew
Merlee Bryan Additionally, the second questioner, referring to the Weston Price research, another point= the imported foods and processed foods would also introduce so called allergens( foreign irritants) , at least the introduction of the processed foods could cause reactions such as nasal drainage and that which would interrupt normal/ ideal nasal breathing, Even a short duration of this could alter development during critical development cycles and cause dysfunctional habits.
I have two questions:
1) What if you have TMJD (Tempromadibular Joint Disorder)... I have lots of clicking a popping, would like to chew gum/hard vegetables, etc. but have been told to avoid doing that. Would it be beneficial or detrimental to the joint in the long run?
2) Tongue on roof/teeth together posture is possible during the day, but how do I do it while preventing clenching. I find it hard to not apply too much pressure to my teeth. Also, how do I maintain this posture during sleep? I always wake ups with my mouth open.
3) What kind of specialists does one visit to find out about this sort of help... especially someone on a budget?
Lastly, thanks for posting this and am happy to be learning along with lots of other people. Conventional wisdom fails over and over again, yet the purporters of it are never held accountable. Brign info like this into a dentist's office, you're looked at like you're insane.
i can answer for number 2. use tape to shut your mouth before sleep, it push yourself to breath to the nose although im not sure it can mantain jaw posture during sleep
I would find a myofunctional therapist.
They can recommend the right exercises for you, and monitor whether those exercises are, in fact, overstressing your jaw muscles, and whether soft foods are needed. Chewing gum and hard vegetables is like running, you shouldn't do it and should be taking it easy if you've pulled a muscle. If you are already misaligned, you'll be increasing the imbalance by continuing to work the wrong muscles.
While sleeping:
Yes, taping your lips together when sleeping is also a good idea to ensure you breathe through your nose while sleeping.
Getting a saline spray (not a steroid) to wash your nostrils once or twice a day, once in the morning and/or before going to bed.
Im lucky i never clenched my teeth ever
04:33 that woman says "he talks about me"
Yeah rock that goatee Dr Mike !! 😎
A love this guy
Depressing. View my Michael Phelps vid to see the difference between a vertically grown face and forward-grown one.
Ok, so do you think the fact that he is a swimmer has anything to do with his face growing vertically? Because when you swim, you have to breathe through your mouth, and if you spend as many hours in the pool as he did, you spend a lot of time breathing through your mouth.
Fascinating video, by the way.
@@obsidiansea yes the environment affect your body, it's an external factor, the water can maybe sligthly move the facial bones and he is breathing with his mouth
Brilliant!!! I need your help.
this is really working ×D
This is all well and fine. I get that you practice for hours, do other things, and eat Paleo. I stopped mouth breathing years before my surgery. For those of us who had our teeth removed post adulthood, even before, is there a database of orthotropic professionals using postural appliances and actively bridging this with dental implants to correct what was done? Thanks.
The actor Vincent Schiavelli had Marfan syndrom which is a genetic disorder, and Richard Kiel has acromegaly, a hormonal disorder. Their unique conditions caused their bodies and faces to look the way they did. However, their faces are featured as the worst examples of what results from bad breathing techniques and posture. Is there a reason they were specifically shown as the extreme end of the spectrum, as opposed to individuals who specifically suffered from years of mouth breathing or consuming a modern diet? Not trying to sound nit-picky, but I am very paranoid ever since I started reading about this topic, and I was a little thrown off when I saw two actors who just happened to be born with rare conditions.
Xozona, I was thinking the same thing while watching the video.
The UK gave up on routinely removing wisdom teeth without solid evidence. Back in 1998, a study at the University of York concluded that there was no scientific evidence to support it.
That same year, the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh said that for patients who don't have a condition related to third molars, removal is "not advisable."

Thanks for sharing this knowledge. Sir as you mentioned that people with distorted facial structures are the people having ENT problems. My facial structure is almost accurate and no snoring at all. Jawline, teeth, cheekbones, tongue posture are all fine and I got sinus polyp. Can you please explain sir?
- The speaker, an orthodontist, discusses the evolution of facial structure and dental issues.
- He highlights the shift from well-aligned teeth in Paleo man to the current high prevalence of dental problems.
- Changes in facial form, particularly vertical growth, are noted, impacting breathing and leading to issues like snoring and sleep apnea.
- The speaker suggests a link between facial changes and dietary shifts, emphasizing the importance of muscle usage, tongue posture, and swallowing patterns.
- Orthodontic treatments are criticized for addressing symptoms but worsening underlying problems.
What facial exercises would help with this?
And which one would do nothing or make it worse?
My orthodontist said to me 25 years ago that we have smaller jaws because of soft food and she said to me and my mom ˝hey, what can we do about that, we live in different times˝. I´m so sad. I hope I`ll be able to correct the mistake.
Could it be *indirectly* caused by allergies caused by dust mites? I do have a small degree of the problem you talk about in the video, and i used to have my nose clogged almost every time i went to sleep or when i was in the classroom, so i kept my mouth open quite a lot until my allergy simply vanished when i was about 16 years old. My brother also has this problem(quite a lot more than me), and he breathes with his mouth almost all the time since childhood(he is 35 now) because of his allergy. We also have Nasal Septum Deviation, so it could contribute to that too.
I also did notice that most people i knew who had this problem were also allergic... allergies are more and more common in big cities, and so is this problem.
I'm going to say fluoride toothpaste is a major contributor since it really slows down your digestion as well as excessive sugar and not enough fat plus eating way too often (most ancient people only ate 1-2 times per day)
Wow it really does block the airway! According to this video I have horrible facial posture. Is it reversible?
Yes
When I was 4 I had 2 upper Millard removed and another 2 when I was 11. My posture was terrible especially when I was 12-17 (I'm 21 now). For some reason though my teeth have always been straight and I've never needed braces.
I think some of it CAN be contributed to diet. Under-industrialized countries don't eat industrialized foods like we do - well, maybe now they do. We are not starving but still have a lack of nutrition. We eat a lot of grains without processing them properly, and sugar. If we get too much sugar and phytates in our diet, we lack the minerals and nutrients needed to make optimal facial form (maxilla under-developing). An under-developed maxilla then causes the rest of the problems, leading to vertical face and head forward... I also think a big cause is damage from heavy metals - I would link my facial asymmetry, very crooked teeth, allergies, and scoliosis to having improperly developed maxilla, lots of amalgams when I was young, and orthodontics. Heavy metals are in vaccines also. I forgot the reasoning but heavy metals can cause asymmetry in the body. My brother had naturally straight teeth and no amalgams, and he doesn't have these problems. When we were babies, my parents immigrated with him, and left me behind for over 6 months. My mother did not breastfeed me, but I think she breastfed him.
Heavy metals can indirectly affect facial development by distrupting energy metabolism, making you physically weaker and therefore less likely to find proper posture automatically.
Michael Mew, What if I have limited airway thru nose? Ie deviated septum...it’s hard to NOT breathe thru mouth....
Keeping tongue at roof of mouth limits air passage even more. Would you suggest nasal surgery to correct the prime issue first?
I had two teeth removed when I was 13, Braces until I was 16 and I got straight teeth. Now my cheekbones don't exist, none of my teeth touch when I put my incisors together and I look fucking stupid when I leave my jaw in the correct neutral position. At no stage did any of my dentists or orthodontists (who were taking my money) think twice about whether they were ruining my face at all. I am fucking livid, Now I have to do all the heavy lifting myself stuck with an ugly face.
Skin cancer is not really about getting too much sun. There are greater rates of skin cancer in areas that are further away from the equator. A woman I know who never exposed themselves to the sun and always used sunscreen on their face, got skin cancer.
And it’s very much subject to genetics. The same goes for Vitamin absorption. So I think there still could be a genetic component.
I think it'd be interesting to see a poll of "pretty people" to see how many of them *actually* rest their tongue at the roof of their mouth naturally, and have for their entire lives. Dr Mew claims that tongue posture is literally all their is to proper face development. But I wonder how many people with proper face development actually "mew" naturally.
This is my case I would like Dr Mew or anyone interested to observe and comment upon:
I have a visible overbite and also a stutterer primary with lower jaw trembling while speaking... I developed a bad habit on making my lower jaw slack so that lower lip would meet the upper lip, this had an effect of somewhat hiding my overbite, I think some refer as jutting the lower jaw forward artificially.. I don't know whether this is the cause of my stuttering, or just a coincidence, anyways I am not commenting for my stuttering problem... However now I realized that this bad oral posture was the primary reason that I was not able to breathe through nose, I had come across the proper tongue posture theory but I was not able to sustain the tongue posture due to this bad habit, keeping the tongue on the roof of the mouth was difficult for me while keeping this posture.. This bad posture I think also affected my cognition/thinking abilities and memory capacity, this may be due to my face balance out of whack and the habit of improper breathing habits... Now, I am training myself to keep my lower jaw not stray forward or I think in medical terms my mandible now stays intact and not let loose from its socket.. I am easily able to keep the normal tongue posture, it stays there automatically now in this oral posture now..
So, my concern is whether the proper oral posture and tongue posture improves one's thinking and memory, because for me it has been night and day difference.. I am able to think so much faster now and also able to remember the details much better... or this is just the effect of nose breathing that I am able to do now versus mouth or improper breathing that I was doing due to the bad oral posture...
i have currently braces to correct my teeth, is this a bad thing? also my jaw are not symmetrical because of i think mouth breathing and bad sleeping position. my left jaw is perfect but the left one is weak. how can i correct this?
Is it recommended to do the lips together, teeth together and tounge on the Roof while doing Sports such as running or should there anything be considered?
yes its recommendrd when working out or even just walking
@@erostube3759 Actually I felt pain, even my teeth got more loose somehow and I almost couldn't brush them - it was like I had eaten only sugar. I wonder, whether you might direct them wrongly as you can't really manage balance or symetry in/with your teeth/jaw while doing sports - so for me this is time out "training time" - I only use the tounge on the roof consciously now. Best wishes
Mike Mew, you can be compared with Nikola Tesla and Da Vinci because this discovery and way od thinking is going to influence humans on worldwide scale. Thanks for making me concious about importance of oral posture which I thought was not important. I am glad I found for you while still in puberty. Greetings.
Would you recommend keeping this tongue posture even with malocclusion and TMJ? Thanks a lot, great talk!
You're not making it worse. ANY step towards function and symmetry is worth taking. Do it, man.
Mewing for 1 year 3 months...I feel great
I am so grateful for this information bc I have a droopy face. What you say makes a lot of sense because it’s like The mouth is like the gate of a kingdom which should be tightly sealed if I’m not talking or eating. Thanks again
erm - aren't you missing something major??? What about the very beginning of our diet - breastfeeding. Paleolithic people died if they did not breastfeed. Breastfeeding is essential to jaw and palate development. The countries you identified as having the most malocclusions have poor breastfeeding rates.
It is certain an advantage, however the evidence is not compelling so it does not come up as a major item. I would love breastfeeding to be more important but this is one area where some really good research has been done and done well. It is important to follow the evidence not your gut feeling, this is science. #mikemewpersonalresponse
Thanks for your prompt response. I am not commenting from an uneducated point of view. Breastfeeding vs artificial feeding (with bottles and teats) and the impact this has on palate development is actually a well researched topic. You may find it very interesting in furthering your research and knowledge in your area of interest.
Hello doctor i have seen your videos they are great and helpful. I'm thanks to you for making videos but i have a problem that my masseter muscle is huge or wide is there any possible way i can make it thin.
I'm 58 and wore a headgear on my teens, bicuspids pulled, overbite. At 26, neuromuscular imbalance--surgery to lengthen jaw and tie up torn ligands in joints. Is it too late to undo some of the damage?
Wow Dr new looks handsome
What if i had already gone through orthodontic treatment earlier ? Will this habit of lips together , teeth together and tongue on the roof of the mouth works for the people who had already gone through orthodontic treatment. Because I really want to improve my facial shape and want a strong jaw line . Dr. Mike it would be a great help if you reply. And thanks for the video .
Zinc deficiency causes a narrow dental arch. I'm a nutritionist and we see a narrow dental arch in a condition called pyroluria which indicates zinc deficiency.
I fucking love you mr mew
My eating sunflower seeds like a crack head probably saved my face
So the "Smoothie movement" might contribute to less nice jaws/facial shapes, right?
I have been practicing the tongue on the roof of the mouth thing for about 2 hours and already, my overbite is gone. My jaw moved forward. I don't have a visably receding jaw, so I never even knew this was a problem.
I think that it is going to take a little longer, so do keep it up
Orthotropics he's a a sarcastic troll
@@detectivespoonan7603 no I can feel pain in my jaw after using Mew technique, meaning it's moving to fix
