This channel is part of the International Association of Facial Growth Guidance. A nonprofit organisation which aims to raise awareness of alternative orthodontic methods and ideas, which too few people are informed of.
The main aim of the platform is to precipitate debate on why teeth are crooked. Most people are not aware that (in most cases) the dental profession has little or no idea why the teeth are crooked, or for that matter why children need major surgery. Clearly there are genetic issues, however the science is clear, the weight of quality research papers, in respected peer reviewed journals, show that our modern lifestyle is a more important factor and most importantly we can do something about this.
This is especially important as sleep apnoea, TMD, forward head posture and a most otolaryngology problems are implicated as other symptoms of the same underlying problem.

This may be the most important topic in mewing. I think you should find a way to differentiate the posterior 3rd and the soft pallet. Your dad is right
So what muscle should we engage? The palatoglossus muscle?
Sachem of Boston well from what I gather after a few years. You should learn how to hold the “push swallow” then focus on breathing through the bridge of your nose, I know it sounds strange but focus on the sensation of pulling air through the bridge of your nose rather than your nostrils. (Even thought this isn’t possible) it’s a way to differentiate the nasal flap from the root of the tongue. Hope this helps
Sachem of Boston you need to engage the hyoid, if you are over the age of 18 and want to see visible changes. You need to engage all the muscles under your chin until they are visible and physically hard.

This video is absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant conversation with all the comings and goings with plastic bags!!
When most people think of the back of the tongue they tend to connect too far back in their mouths, which actually causes more tension. Dr. John Mew is right with this one that the tongue doesn't go that far back. If you put pressure that far back then your mouth can clench over a period of time and it also starts affecting your shoulders and hands. The shoulders and traps tend to move upwards and overtime cause stress in the upper body and the mouth.
The tongue is actually much more in the front than what most people think, it actually runs deeper than it is in the back.
Always focus on the bottom of the tongue before aiming for the top part. This will make you feel the proper length of the tongue and the pressure will be distributed much more evenly and in a relaxed manner while performing the exercise.
Two things that I've found as helpful guides in getting the proper posture are symmetry and distribution of pressure while mewing or practicing other tongue postures.
Before trying to start the exercise one must always make sure that they bring in the first signal to start the exercise focusing on symmetry. Left and right should be symmetrical otherwise the exercise affects one part more than the other.
The other thing to take care of is the distribution of pressure throughout the tongue. There should be more pressure on the tip and it should gradually decrease as we go to the back. At the end of the tongue should be very subtle pressure.
The trick to making sure that this is done right is to engage and monitor the shoulders and the lats muscle to position the very back of the tongue correctly. When done correctly the shoulders will go down in a relaxed state and the back of the tongue will just slightly move upwards closer to the soft palate. When this is done right there won't be much problem with breathing.
Many times one will have to hold breathing in this position for sometime before starting to breathe because when the correct posture is achieved it usually tries to soften up the inflamed cavities and areas above (Due to previously formed wrong posture habits) before it starts breathing properly. One must be patient and hold breathing for a while when this happens. If one is properly relaxed then the body will automatically signal when it is the right time to inhale.
Majority of the people experience problems in breathing because they feel way too back and apply way too much pressure on the back of the tongue. It has to be subtle, that's the key.
Hello, I know the comment is 2 years old, but could you explain to me what would happen if a person had more pressure on the back of the tongue, the third part, than on the front, the tip of the tongue?

marvelous to watch these 2 genious working out a topic. Its so sad so many families never get moments like these with healthy discussion of ideas without a mess, thousand egos and grudges
I love your dad! Great mind, such an inspiration
I had to laugh at the momment you said you had better results, but I can see its a fresh discussion and Im so glad there are alternatives to such respressive forms as orthodontics are anyways, thanks a lot for your information.
This is the most adorable argument between father and son. Very helpful too thank you very much
I love these two!!!!! Please don’t ever change. You are helping people and changing the world right now father and son just furthers proves you’re real and make a wonderful team! 👍
I have to agree with Mike. I can feel the effect off pushing with the back third of my tongue in the amount of air that passes through my nostrils. You can feel around for it by stretching both arms high above you with your face pointed forward. Because the neck becomes shorter your back 3rd tongue is pushed up. This was difficult for me to gain bodily control of, but the breathing effect through the nose is AMAZING. I haven't felt this way since before I got my allergies in primary school.
Great idea and video, doctor!
What a lovely, LOVELY family. Thank you for sharing the family interruptions.
The middle 1/3 of the tongue is what John is saying.
Beautiful family with grandpa and kids , lovely family , god bless u guys with lots of happiness
This is why we need studies done on orthotropics. Even as a preliminary science we see there is tremendous benefit to practicing correct tongue and mouth posture, but without substantial studies its hard to know exactly what aspects of it are beneficial and what techniques are best to implement.
The problem is we can wait for the cows to come home before medical authorities study things that will put them out of considerable business.
@@squirrelpatrick3670 Maybe you guys can do it. No one is stopping you two from becoming scientists
orthodontics will exist for a good while, because of its very high success rate in fixing crooked teeth and other similar issues.
However it does not address the root causes of these issues, or fix them while keeping overall facial attractiveness at mind.
If we practice orthotropics from a young age, then we see good results. for adults it doesn't really work.
What a lovely video!❤️ I think you both need to have clear understanding of eachother by what is you both mean by the 3rd of the tongue and from there discuss the point further. Would also be beneficial for us to have clear understanding about this. Hope this will have a part 2 soon.
How can this man be 96 in this video? I am amazed, he must have done the right things in life! Very interesting and important conversation as well!
I love your headspace
Tongue push against palate make you breath freely and deeply. What a surprise when you experience this !
I don't practice mewing very often. It happened by itself while i was engaging my core, straightening my spine lying on the floor doing simple Pilates exercises, contrology. In these basic movements, you must tuck your chin against your chest, lifting it just enough to be able to hold this posture while you do the arms and legs exercises, always stretching out from the center. Your body find support from the core into the tongue that comes pushing up. Name of Joe Pilates' book is "Return to Life"... With respect to Mike and his dad. Everybody !
I love the background and the children and all thank you
I love how open minded you and your dad are to disagreements. Not enough people are. If I disagree with someone I would say calmly and clearly "I amicably agree to diagree". Too many people get too agitated. IDEA FOR TOPIC: Perhaps for the general public; a summary/overview of different expansion devices, accompanying processes and cost? Perhaps this is too simple an idea, because each treatment is different and dependent on how the individual responds. Thank you for all that you and your father do. We do appreciate it.
Greatest non-content I have ever seen
Your dad is lovely!
I would love this kind of discussion in a podcast type of longform content with the two Dr.Mews
Yes podcast version would be excellent so each person really has the time to expand on their points in a non-hurried way.
Mewing is great . Thank you
Oh my stars! You two are hilarious. 🤣
Your dad is lovely. And the family really made it pleasurable, side by side with the factual dialogue. The thing that helped me immediately, was to see the difference between your head and face shape and his because my face is long oval like your father’s and seeing him means I can relate. Also I am a very fit and slim 69 year old Australian (female from British parents) and began proper mewing last night on a 40 min bicycle ride. I am a nose breather and my tongue is always on the roof of my mouth naturally. By using chewing gum under my palate is easy and my back third is secure, too! I shall press on with the gum because I rather liked it as a conscious exercise. Thanks to you, Mike, and your father.
Wow, I love this video as I happen to just email you guys, but I would love a video, a tutorial or sorts to get the back 3rd (your definition of it) up, and to know what it feels like when you are actually doing it correctly. Would be very great.
I love the gum spread exercise and more like that that you have though also.
Thats the video noone wanted but everyone needed

Hi Dr. MEW,

You have my great professional sympathy!
Had i been in his place i would have been jealous of my father's hair.
Yeah he must have got it from his mom's dad.
@@tropicaldimitri7374 🤣
@@pranavmanohaur391 True though. Daugthers are carriers of the baldness trait. His dad's dad played no role in that (even if he was bald).
Surely mike must envy his dad's hair to some degree, and john's likely envious of his son's nicely developed jaw,
looking at them you almost wouldn't think that they're father and son.
But then again how many fathers and sons look alike?
Love this Channel ❤️
I think the entire tongue should be on the soft palate in the back of the mouth and you should try to stretch the soft part out by tucking your chin down and/or using suction and I think it creates force on the hard palate like a pulley. This technique pulls the soft palate and uvula out of the airway and fixes the breathing issue and feels super nature once the soft palate is stretched out enough. Personally I have gotten definitive results from this.
You might be on to something. I feel expansion at the cheekbones upwards, laterally and forwards.
Good stuff. We should use gravity and leverage more to do the expansion for us.

Great content
When I first started mewing I had to learn the difference. Mewing was actually natural to me when I first started, I may not have mewed constantly but it was a familiar position to me, I just was unaware of it. So when I first learned what mewing was, and tried to “engage the back of my tongue” without realizing that I had been doing it already, i pushed my soft palate upwards/backwards blocking my nasal airway. You can feel this yourself by actually using your finger to push onto your soft palate. And pushing your uvula backwards also closes the airway. This is basically the same thing that happens when you swallow. Its important when swallowing that this happens or else food or liquids would enter your nose. Even in someone with large airways, pushing up onto your soft palate should prevent nasal breathing. You should definitely have your tongue in contact with the whole palate including soft palate but pushing up into it is something you should pretty much only do when swallowing. Because you can’t really breathe otherwise.
Thanks 👍
prob the most useful tip
This is very difficult to understand. How do you get that part of your tongue to push up on your soft palate when that is where that would be blocking your air way? I've been trying it for days now and still can't figure out how to rest my tongue in that position. There needs to be maybe some animated graphics that can demonstrate the way in which this is to be exercised.
@@Palmetto-JHave you figured out yet in these last 7 months
@awaisdooly No. I tried many ways, but since I didn't know what I was doing, I gave up. Plus, I heard from some medical sources that this is not recommended for adults. This only works in children's underdeveloped facial bones.
Hilarious! Loved the interruption and tryna figure out what the back third is called
Nice T-shirt doctor Mike!
would love to see more videos with your dad
nice to meet the family
this is the cutest video ever
I also noticed I sang better when I started mewing! That's so neat that the singer who expanded her pallet thought the same thing.
loved the video
Mewing is awesome!!
Thank you
I love this!
I think that as your palette moves forwards, you will be able to fit more of the back tongue without interfering with the airway. Regardless of this though, the postural change alone can drastically make a difference.
Some people are physically tongue tied and can't do this. Is there a way to this without a tongue snip?
@@laurajones6398 no
This father-son convo was brilliant! lol
I believe technically, your dad is right! Great discussion - especially your intro about discussions.
lovely family! that was really sweet :D
Love the background where dad is sitting. I would love to have a tour video ❤️❤️❤️
great Video! I would love to see a discussion or a video in general about how Retainers / Invisalign / Braces really effect the mewing progress. In my case I wear Invisalign and they dont change in size, meaning the distance between my molars doesnt change. My question is, if mewing still widens and pushes your face forward, or not, since Invisalign only shifts the teeth. And yes I know, that the teeth are attached to the Maxilla and Mandible, however one psuhes the toung against the palate and not against the teeth.
Thanks again for the work Dr Mew!
The misunderstanding is this, doctor mew mistakes the back third of the maxilla for the back third of the tongue. His father is right because when you push the back third of the tongue you actually block your nasal airway. I guess that is why he suggested that doctor mew should change his terminology. Good job to doctor mew and family. Always a good time watching the frustration they have during arguments. ❤

😩😩🥴🥴
lol… best video father & son . We get this all the time with our grown up children.
I really agree with John Mew. I've always struggled to find the ''back third'' of the tongue, because, like he says: that part goes vertical. How could I ever get that part up against the palate? So if that is not what ''the back third'' means, what does it mean? Where does the back third stop and the vertical part begin. The tongue is designed to close off the airway when swallowing so we don't choke on our food, so in any person it can go so far back as to block the airway, it's not that some people just have more space back there than others. So what is the back third, where does it stop. How far back should the tongue be up, and how do I know i do it right?
I'm as confused as rocket science trying to understand how this thing works. I just don't understand how can you rest the back of your tongue on the palette without blocking the airway. We do need a tutorial video to show how to accomplish this in the proper way and how long/frequent is this to be exercised/practiced.
In another video he says we should be practicing all day everyday or at least 8 hrs a day so that basically it becomes an all the time habit
The back third of your tongue is at the end of your upper(hard) palate. This is where your wisdom teeth are.
I wonder if people were naturally mewing in Biblical times, because in Psalms 137:6 it says “If I do not remember you, let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth.......” 🤓
I’m confused on how that relates to mewing? It just seems like a proverb
damn
u be a scholar
@@kimjongun2383 lol 😁
The Beauty Nutritionist what Bible are you reading? Psalm 37:6 does not say that at all.
Psalm 37:6 in KJV says "And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light,and they judgment as the noonday."
What I'm getting from this is that a lot of us lack not only lateral space, but maybe even more importantly, the sagittal space to mew correctly? Is that right Dr. Mew? So in situations like such, would the only way to get results from mewing be mewing without breathing (raising the posterior third inevitably blocking the airway), and/ or using appliances to get some forward growth to help you get you up on your feet and start mewing?
I've been mewing with a high larynx, which gave me what looks like an over-expansion. I'd rather have a slight "under-expansion" from being a bit more relaxed. So from my own experience I'd say I agree more with John.
This has affected my ability to breathe, eat and the quality of my voice. Don't overdo it, I wouldn't wish my complications onto anybody else
@davidpersson7835 Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. I feel bad that happened to you. I'm trying to get as much information as I can about this technique. I need to start this mewing, hoping it will change the symmetry of my face. Can you describe how long/often you would practice this and what do you think why it went wrong for you?
@@Palmetto-J Sure. I mewed consistently for a year or two. Pretty much right away I started overdoing it (kind of like hard mewing) hoping for quick results, to the point where it was a struggle to breathe and my head hurt. My breathing is better now that I've had quite some time to reverse the tension that got built up. However my jaw is now more misaligned than before I started mewing, most likely because I somehow engaged muscles on my dominant side but not the weaker one. I have trouble opening my jaw widely and still have nasal tendencies in my voice, though they got better with relaxing after I stopped.
I think mewing can be safe, but avoid hard mewing. Get in touch with a professional that can guide you and control that you are making safe progress.
