I'm a little off topic as it relates to this particular video,...but I've been practicing putting the back portion of my tongue to the roof of my mouth for the last 12 hours. In only that amount of time I'm stunned how much my posture has improved. My chest is out and my low back is positioned just right. It's very easy to do... Man that feels good!!! Thank you Dr. Mew!
Yes it does. Pressing the back 2/3 or 1/3 of my tongue corrects my posture when I drive behind the wheel or stand on the bus as well. Pressing the back 2/3 of my tongue to the roof of my mouth also improved a terrible habit I had of bringing my head forward to the spoon or fork, instead of bringing the spoon or fork to my mouth. Can't thank you enough.
No....you're not supposed to be scared of someone like that. But if you met me you finally come to understand what means to take body shot. You don't want me to come at you,. Trust me on that little guy.
So how do you put the whole tongue at the roof of the mouth is the back of the mouth supposed to be a lot higher than the front I mean my tongue is flat
My jawline is the physical feature I've been most complimented for my whole life. I was watching these vides out of curiosity, and realized that most of the habits they teach (swallowing, jaw posture, etc) are ones that I've always done naturally. Of course it's possible that there are many genetic factors at play, but it does feel like it corroborates the idea that this stuff works in my mind.
Same, my face looks square and forwardly wide. I didn't know that some people find this feature attractive and healthy. I'm from the Philippines, so the beauty standard is different.

I’ve gone to swallow specialists when a kid, then braces, then physiotherapists... crooked teeth came back and airways constantly locked. Nothing really came together. I joined gym and started observing that good posture could open my airways, but there was still a missing link: I enjoyed eating only soft, juicy food. Public speaking is part of my profession, and I always had that desperate look for reaching for air. Not to mention dark circles. This brings literally a fresh breath to the matter. Thanks Dr. Mew! This video is the beginning of my everyday now.
Orthotropics It’s been one week now and if I understand correctly the super cheesy smile is what really activates the back third, no? I feel it brings a totally new ergonomic move and the liquid seems to ‘fall into place’ more properly. I’ve also been doing lots of the gum exercise. The airways are basically unlocked all the time. Would the correct neutral posture be with the entire tongue at the top? With that slight ‘vacuum’ feel? Sorry if I’m nagging now. This has been already great.
@@tlclookism Good call. I have started using Jawzrsize and it DID make a difference in airway and jaw line. I stopped Mew's exercises but I from time to time work them out. Gym for posture and neck strength helped a lot. I do recommend discipline.
What I've come to notice it that if you're eating in a bad body-posture (forward head posture) swallowing correctly becomes a lot harder, and you'll start to use the buccinators to push the food upward in your mouth, since your head is tilted forward. Bring the food to your mouth instead of bringing your mouth to the food, and it wont be so much of a struggle swallowing correctly.
@@Vern01 noone "made it" it is simply just the natural and correct way to place your tognue. Jon explains it with much detail in one of his videos. The concept of having correct tongue posture has been known for a long time. Many orthodontists would also agree that things like tongue posture and external factors impact teeth and bones in the face. Although orthodontists might know about this, they focus on fixing the consequences, not the cause
When I was 8 I had an overbite that my orthodontist said was caused by me pushing my tongue forward when I swallowed (don’t know if that’s true). So I saw a speech therapist who re-taught me how to swallow and I now realize it was the swallow that this doctor advocates! She used a mirror with me and had me learn to swallow with my mouth open and everything. Thank you orthodontist and speech therapist!!!

I can do that swallowing thing perfectly BUT I actually did it wrong for years and years just not being aware :O I developed a slight anterior bite cause I had my tongue against my front teeth the whole time.

The infant swallow you describe is for bottle fed babies. A breastfed baby with no oral restrictions will place the tongue on the roof of the mouth to swallow, the same as the ideal adult swallow you describe.
I'm extremely late here, but my advice is to make sure you have proper posture, relax everything in your mouth and jaw but the tongue (your throat can move obviously), and try to push the back 2/3 of your tongue against the roof of your mouth, slightly further back than is comfortable. You'll find that you have no choice but to swallow. The first few are pretty uncomfortable - kinda like you're choking yourself with your tongue.
i only learned to do it recently, but basically in proper mewing posture (whole tongue on roof), you drop the front of the tongue down, to sweep up the water, then bring it back up. this will naturally create a wave motion with the rest of the tongue following, taking the water to the back of your throat, hence swallowing
I have an allergy apparently of carbohydrates and that is basically all the food we eat. So long story short no doctors that i consulted gave me any remedies, hence i always had a runny nose and asthma like symptoms. Finally i took my problems onto my own hands and experimented with lot of diets and finally found out it was these carbohydrates that I ate everyday, in every meal. And now after seeing your videos I understand all that allergic symptoms prompted me to breathe through my mouth 24x7 bcos of the freaking carbs i dumped into my body and now i have crooked teeth and elongated face. I wish best of luck for your effort bcos i have gained a lot comfort in knowing what i know now.

@@stefanj3601 i chew foods with my tongue. like how a baby does that hasnt developed teeth yet. usually i chew my food up to the point where i know my tongue can do the rest. a banana for example is easy. my tongue is pushing up against the roof of my mouth then i swallow .
I've been following you for quite some time, but I have a few questions. One is, what would you say is the optimal sleeping position for keeping good posture? I've read that ancient Indians used a special flat board to lay on which kept the baby's mouth from falling open. Also I read that sleeping on your left side helps organs to work more efficiently, but I have adopted sleeping on my back as the most effective (I think). I noticed it's harder to breathe when laying on my side/back and it could mess up joints in the shoulder in the long run. What are your thoughts on this? BTW I love y'all and everything y'all are doing. Keep up the good work. : )
You might be interested in Alexander technique. It covers efficient and healthy posture for all sorts of activities including sleeping, and they recommend sleeping on your back as best, and side with a pillow between your knees as second best.
He won't reply so I'll tell you my guy... you've got to float. It's a little uncomfortable at first but you'll get used to it. Arms crossed against chest, legs straight, mid air... it's the only way to ensure no body parts are strained or contorted. You're welcome (:
Man this feels like natural portion control as I eat much slower in general even attempting to swallow my food this way + chewing through it properly. Before I was vortexing down chunks of barely chewed food. E: You'll notice it's hard to swallow food this way if it's not chewed through properly.
3 things I'm gonna do to fix my slight asymmetry: 1. Close lips 2. Rest molars on molars 3. Rest tongue on roof and when swallowing tuck chin in to swallow
You can see that the first audience of Orthotropics were incels and looksmaxxers. Almost all the comments before 2 years ago all have incel-ly terms. I don't have anything against them. I am a looksmaxxer myself but just wanted to point it out.
I don’t get it, I can swallow easily but I’m not swallowing anything cos all my saliva is at the front of my mouth in front of my teeth so I can’t get the saliva to the back of my mouth to swallow without pushing my tongue to the front of my mouth and sucking?
i only learned to do it recently, but basically in proper mewing posture (whole tongue on roof), you drop the front of the tongue down, to sweep up the water, then bring it back up. this will naturally create a wave motion with the rest of the tongue following, taking the water to the back of your throat, hence swallowing
i tried having proper tongue posture on and off for couple years, and I think I finally achieve it. For me, when I have the proper tongue posture I feel a muscle near the chin sore because I never use them!
This is how I already swallow but when i try to put my tongue back on the roof of my mouth, it goes down to my teeth and pushes against them. This forces me to “reset” it, and I’m forced to open my mouth and let the air of then I put my tongue on top of my mouth
I have never realized until now that my overbite, upper and lower teeth misalignment are significant. I breathe through nose usually, but I often snore during sleep, especially when tired. I have Sinusitis for almost 10 years. I tried swallowing with tongue touching palate, but the lower teeth and jaw keep returning to their abnormal old position. Should one align their upper and lower teeth while swallowing in the correct way?
currently watching, Your teaching style is very targeting to me :D. I am spreading the message as a personal trainer, overall health instructor i would even say hahah
I think i'm doing it incorrectly, but I don't know what my mistake is. My problem is that when swallowing I'm just not able to swallow saliva 'cause it isn't on my tongue, so I swallow a tiny amount of it and the rest starts to acumulate on my mouth. I feel like I have to use my buccinators to put the saliva in the right place or like I have to move my tongue around my mouth to get the saliva on my tongue and then be able to swallow it. What am I supost to do? (Sorry for my english)
It seems the general rule is that you should use your tongue to scoop up saliva instead of trying to suck all the saliva back. But I think you make a good point. Although *some* saliva can be scooped up and then swallowed with an undulating motion of the tongue, there is also saliva that will tend to accumulate elsewhere in the mouth. For example, some of the saliva is going to pool between the molars and the cheeks with no easy way to scoop it up with the tongue. You will need some slight buccinator engagement to collect this saliva. No one swallows with 100% tongue and no one swallows with 100% buccinator. Perhaps a more accurate way to think about it is moving from a buccinator-dominant technique to a tongue-dominant technique.
@@poleag Hi could you please help me with this? I am not sure how to collect the saliva from the bottom of my mouth, I tried the tongue sweep, but I start to get sensitive front teeth from touching the front teeth while trying to do the tongue sweep, please help!
Yeah you have to suck. You suck without using the cheek muscles and then scoop up the saliva with your tongue as you gather it together with the suction. Use the front part of your tongue (Mike Mew calls it the tongue sweep and there's a video on it on this channel,) and then swallow with your tongue against the roof of your mouth. The key idea is to swallow against the roof of the mouth without using the cheek muscles at any stage in the process. It takes a lot of practise if you're new to it to get it right.
I have a slight overbite. When doing this should I put my teeth in the correct position touching each other, or the natural overbite position? Also will all of this cure my slight overbite. Secondly when I do this I feel a vibrating in my throats and its hard to breathe and makes a noise. Will this go away over time? Even if I only do this for 6 hours a day because I cannot breathe like this at school.
You can also initiate the swallow by keeping the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth, on the n spot, and suck in the saliva, by lowering the mid and back part. When collected on top of the tongue, you can let your tongue connect as a whole to the roof of the mouth again and (then again in a wave like motion) swallow the saliva. Is this swallowing technique: 1 superior to the swallow initiated by the tongue swoop, 2 equivalent in its effect on dentoalveolar and skeletal development or 3 inferior, i.e. it has downsides for growing and maintaining a good dentoskelatal relationship?
I just practiced swallowing the way you had her doing it.. i felt stuck after doing it right three times and felt like i literally couldn't swallow. I had to stretch my throat out. Then i did it correctly again twice more and its like a phyicsl change has occurred. Having the back third of my tongue up now isnt causing the retriction it was. What the heck just happened.
I think my swallow, the second half once saliva is collected, is actually good because when I was younger I had to learn to swallow using mostly throat muscles and a little with the tongue. (Similar to cheesy smile. Couldn’t use my cheeks at all.) While I was in craniosacral therapy, I had a gloved finger in my mouth and saliva was collecting. I didn’t want to interrupt so I learned to use my throat and push with the back of the tongue. However it didn’t let me figure out how to suction the saliva onto the top of my tongue. My back third has always been down which just let the saliva collect there. Now I have to figure out the proper way to get it there.
You're overthinking it. If you can swallow without your cheeks, you've got a proper swallow technique. Try opening your mouth and swallowing. If you can do it, you're good.
@@nhunka44 hopefully. I think the sweep is just the thing I don’t get. While eating is doesn’t matter but at rest, if you’re tongue is up there the whole time, I don’t see how saliva gets on top of your tongue to be able to swallow. It all looks at the bottom under the tongue, you know
The thing with these videos is you take something fairly simple just hard to form a habit and over complicate it which overwhelms me and turns me away could you please make a shorter video on what to do and if we have further questions we can look back on this
I still don't understand where the tongue should be, the tip behind the teeth or the rough part of the mouth? Either way my tongue goes flat and spreads touching my teeth on both sides! Is it wrong?
this is so hard! i have tmj deviation ever since wisdomtooth surgery, adn my jaw and face on right side and under tongue is SSOOO soore and tiight. i might look into a tongue tie doctor in case thats what it is but im sure this will be helpful too. So when you use the correct muscles to push the tongue against theroof of the mouth (ive only had the tip on the roof of my mouth thus far) should you feel a tightening down under the chin, like the skin under your chin rising up?
I don't understand at all his advice and exercises to swallow correctly but wish I could. Is there any quality animation out there that shows the action from inside the mouth, with the corresponding anatomy parts he refers to?
I think he definitely had a hard time getting these kids to actually do it, so his data was likely inconclusive, and that is why credible scientists do not like him because he presented it as fact when it still is just conjecture without sufficient evidence to back it up.
Whenever I heard the complaints of my mother or grandma how some pills are too big or hard to swallow I did not know there was a wrong way to swallow and thought its just psychological.
What is the mean that touching the smooth bit of skin between rough place and teethes?When i say nanana i can feel my tip of tongue touching the lump.But if i keep moving my tongue forward,to the place where you referred to,it would be very very close to my teethes...
Well explained! It seems my throat moves down very far when I swallow, even though i avoid activating the facial muscles, should I be concerned? I'm 24 but i've always had a double chin and small mandible.
Thank you for this knowledge! What is your opinion on permanent retainers? Should they be removed? I am not expecting a definite yes or no; A weak answer is perfectly sufficient for myself.
dafuq2013 he’s said that fixed retainers that go along 4-5 teeth would be the best to get, but not the full mouth clear ones. Bc they stunt your bone structure fixing, and moving out.

@@ProdSKOLR how about hard foods like carrots?
-Hey your crush is looking
Me -What do I do ?!
- swallow normally
Me : 8:51
Nice of him to record this underwater
Dr. Mike, you’re an amazing specialist! One of those, who make a tremendous difference!
okay i did this one time and my life has now changed forever
Thanks to claimingpower website for the unlisted views. He is a #mewmaniac,#mewfanatic.
Turns out I've been doing this right the whole time. But I can imagine it would be really hard to change the habit.
thank god i finally found one of his videos where im actually already doing smth properly
I've been following you for quite some time, but I have a few questions. One is, what would you say is the optimal sleeping position for keeping good posture? I've read that ancient Indians used a special flat board to lay on which kept the baby's mouth from falling open. Also I read that sleeping on your left side helps organs to work more efficiently, but I have adopted sleeping on my back as the most effective (I think). I noticed it's harder to breathe when laying on my side/back and it could mess up joints in the shoulder in the long run. What are your thoughts on this? BTW I love y'all and everything y'all are doing. Keep up the good work. : )
Joseph Watkins bump I would also like to know that
You might be interested in Alexander technique. It covers efficient and healthy posture for all sorts of activities including sleeping, and they recommend sleeping on your back as best, and side with a pillow between your knees as second best.
He won't reply so I'll tell you my guy... you've got to float. It's a little uncomfortable at first but you'll get used to it. Arms crossed against chest, legs straight, mid air... it's the only way to ensure no body parts are strained or contorted. You're welcome (:
sleep on your right side
Ric Sims actually your heart is located in the center of your chest
Man this feels like natural portion control as I eat much slower in general even attempting to swallow my food this way + chewing through it properly. Before I was vortexing down chunks of barely chewed food.
E: You'll notice it's hard to swallow food this way if it's not chewed through properly.
Beetroot Soup noticed that too
So even when you chew and swallow solids, the tongue is still right behind front teeth touching the roof?
@@AerisVera7I would like to know also
3 things I'm gonna do to fix my slight asymmetry:
1. Close lips
2. Rest molars on molars
3. Rest tongue on roof and when swallowing tuck chin in to swallow
yes...an animated drawing would help too. I can't perfect that sweep thing. I am not sure how the wave is supposed to go.
You can see that the first audience of Orthotropics were incels and looksmaxxers. Almost all the comments before 2 years ago all have incel-ly terms. I don't have anything against them. I am a looksmaxxer myself but just wanted to point it out.
04:18 when he said pheromones i was like wtf
Hahahaha! I heard that and I was like whaaaaat? I saw your comment and just busted up laughing.
I don’t get it, I can swallow easily but I’m not swallowing anything cos all my saliva is at the front of my mouth in front of my teeth so I can’t get the saliva to the back of my mouth to swallow without pushing my tongue to the front of my mouth and sucking?
Dude sameee
U find anything that can help with that?
Having the same issue and I'm not finding any help
i only learned to do it recently, but basically in proper mewing posture (whole tongue on roof), you drop the front of the tongue down, to sweep up the water, then bring it back up. this will naturally create a wave motion with the rest of the tongue following, taking the water to the back of your throat, hence swallowing
He explains draw the toungue to bottom of mouth. Press on N section of mouth to swallow.
I came looking for a video and.ended up questioning my entire life, i dont even know how to swallow..who am i
i tried having proper tongue posture on and off for couple years, and I think I finally achieve it. For me, when I have the proper tongue posture I feel a muscle near the chin sore because I never use them!
There should be a video which doesnt contain any information and only what we need to do and how
This is how I already swallow but when i try to put my tongue back on the roof of my mouth, it goes down to my teeth and pushes against them. This forces me to “reset” it, and I’m forced to open my mouth and let the air of then I put my tongue on top of my mouth
thank you dr Mew, what a nice way to check people's tongue position
I like the ending, these muscles are for facial expressions, not for swallowing.
Wondering about Mike's familiarity with Leonora & Steinman ...
*Why this micro? so interesting but the sound is so disturbing. Please update this video with animation feature.*
I have never realized until now that my overbite, upper and lower teeth misalignment are significant.
I breathe through nose usually, but I often snore during sleep, especially when tired.
I have Sinusitis for almost 10 years.
I tried swallowing with tongue touching palate, but the lower teeth and jaw keep returning to their abnormal old position.
Should one align their upper and lower teeth while swallowing in the correct way?
7:34 who else took a sip of water at this moment and drown with it?
currently watching, Your teaching style is very targeting to me :D. I am spreading the message as a personal trainer, overall health instructor i would even say hahah
I've always done this but it's really interesting to hear it described and actually sit & think it through
May you explain it I can’t get it
I think i'm doing it incorrectly, but I don't know what my mistake is. My problem is that when swallowing I'm just not able to swallow saliva 'cause it isn't on my tongue, so I swallow a tiny amount of it and the rest starts to acumulate on my mouth. I feel like I have to use my buccinators to put the saliva in the right place or like I have to move my tongue around my mouth to get the saliva on my tongue and then be able to swallow it. What am I supost to do? (Sorry for my english)
It seems the general rule is that you should use your tongue to scoop up saliva instead of trying to suck all the saliva back. But I think you make a good point. Although *some* saliva can be scooped up and then swallowed with an undulating motion of the tongue, there is also saliva that will tend to accumulate elsewhere in the mouth. For example, some of the saliva is going to pool between the molars and the cheeks with no easy way to scoop it up with the tongue. You will need some slight buccinator engagement to collect this saliva.
No one swallows with 100% tongue and no one swallows with 100% buccinator. Perhaps a more accurate way to think about it is moving from a buccinator-dominant technique to a tongue-dominant technique.
@@poleag Hi could you please help me with this? I am not sure how to collect the saliva from the bottom of my mouth, I tried the tongue sweep, but I start to get sensitive front teeth from touching the front teeth while trying to do the tongue sweep, please help!
it is amazing how it will support your nick genius
I don't understand, are you supposed to produce saliva without sucking? I can swallow without my lips together but my mouth becomes very dry.
commenting for the answer*
Yes that's my question, do we have to suck? At the top to get saliva ?
Yeah you have to suck. You suck without using the cheek muscles and then scoop up the saliva with your tongue as you gather it together with the suction. Use the front part of your tongue (Mike Mew calls it the tongue sweep and there's a video on it on this channel,) and then swallow with your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
The key idea is to swallow against the roof of the mouth without using the cheek muscles at any stage in the process. It takes a lot of practise if you're new to it to get it right.
Gray that's hard honestly. even doing so, I always use cheek strenght to perform it or get the tongue out of the roof to collect the saliva.
are you supposed to keep the teeth together?
I have a slight overbite. When doing this should I put my teeth in the correct position touching each other, or the natural overbite position? Also will all of this cure my slight overbite.
Secondly when I do this I feel a vibrating in my throats and its hard to breathe and makes a noise. Will this go away over time? Even if I only do this for 6 hours a day because I cannot breathe like this at school.
J 21 .
I have a slight overbite too. When I chew my jaw clicks.
Y Khan fuck, so that's why my jaw clicks...
Der Panda dunno if that's the reason though. Maybe it is.
Have you guys found out yet?
Don’t get me wrong I’m very grateful that this information is free but why the heck does it sound like it was filmed with a rock
been doing this for a year now and my jaw is definetly bigger and sharper, never taught it would work tbh
I have mewed for 5 years believe me mewing is very helpfull to get good facil forward growth,, ... ...
prove it
You can also initiate the swallow by keeping the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth, on the n spot, and suck in the saliva, by lowering the mid and back part. When collected on top of the tongue, you can let your tongue connect as a whole to the roof of the mouth again and (then again in a wave like motion) swallow the saliva. Is this swallowing technique: 1 superior to the swallow initiated by the tongue swoop, 2 equivalent in its effect on dentoalveolar and skeletal development or 3 inferior, i.e. it has downsides for growing and maintaining a good dentoskelatal relationship?
8:06 ".....understood?" and look the woman's face wanted to laught about his face lol
I did not understand the sweeping pattern. Did anyone? Other than that, thanks for the great work, Dr Mew and Dr Mew!
Thank you alot doctor Mike mew for introducing me to mewing it has helped me a lot in correcting my jaw.
I already don't like drinking water and I am pretty sure I'd just dehydrate myself rather than trying to drink like this.
this mewing stuf getting of the charts in 2021
Why do the comments say 3 years ago but the video was published September last year ?
I’m having a clicking sound in my throat when I am swallowing like this - any tips anyone?
I can never seem to scoop up remaining water without suction or movement in my face. Its bloody hard, almost feels impossible :/
I just practiced swallowing the way you had her doing it.. i felt stuck after doing it right three times and felt like i literally couldn't swallow. I had to stretch my throat out. Then i did it correctly again twice more and its like a phyicsl change has occurred. Having the back third of my tongue up now isnt causing the retriction it was. What the heck just happened.
can you elaborate how to do ?
I think my swallow, the second half once saliva is collected, is actually good because when I was younger I had to learn to swallow using mostly throat muscles and a little with the tongue. (Similar to cheesy smile. Couldn’t use my cheeks at all.)
While I was in craniosacral therapy, I had a gloved finger in my mouth and saliva was collecting. I didn’t want to interrupt so I learned to use my throat and push with the back of the tongue.
However it didn’t let me figure out how to suction the saliva onto the top of my tongue. My back third has always been down which just let the saliva collect there. Now I have to figure out the proper way to get it there.
You're overthinking it. If you can swallow without your cheeks, you've got a proper swallow technique. Try opening your mouth and swallowing. If you can do it, you're good.
@@nhunka44 hopefully. I think the sweep is just the thing I don’t get. While eating is doesn’t matter but at rest, if you’re tongue is up there the whole time, I don’t see how saliva gets on top of your tongue to be able to swallow. It all looks at the bottom under the tongue, you know
The thing with these videos is you take something fairly simple just hard to form a habit and over complicate it which overwhelms me and turns me away could you please make a shorter video on what to do and if we have further questions we can look back on this
I still don't understand where the tongue should be, the tip behind the teeth or the rough part of the mouth? Either way my tongue goes flat and spreads touching my teeth on both sides! Is it wrong?
Help!
if the side of the tongue slip between your teeth a little bit u got a narrow palette, idk how it can be fixed
this is so hard! i have tmj deviation ever since wisdomtooth surgery, adn my jaw and face on right side and under tongue is SSOOO soore and tiight. i might look into a tongue tie doctor in case thats what it is but im sure this will be helpful too. So when you use the correct muscles to push the tongue against theroof of the mouth (ive only had the tip on the roof of my mouth thus far) should you feel a tightening down under the chin, like the skin under your chin rising up?
set playback speed to x1.25, you're welcome
I find taping my mouth together is helpful so I don't rely on my lips to swallow.
I don't understand at all his advice and exercises to swallow correctly but wish I could. Is there any quality animation out there that shows the action from inside the mouth, with the corresponding anatomy parts he refers to?
I think he definitely had a hard time getting these kids to actually do it, so his data was likely inconclusive, and that is why credible scientists do not like him because he presented it as fact when it still is just conjecture without sufficient evidence to back it up.
I’m struggling to eat solid foods without tongue thrusting as a swallow.
How do you swallow food at the bottom or sides of ur mouth tho without using ur cheek muscles?
Whenever I heard the complaints of my mother or grandma how some pills are too big or hard to swallow I did not know there was a wrong way to swallow and thought its just psychological.
Curious to know how pills being too hard or big is related to swallowing?
What if the girl just lost it and started laughing suddenly while filming this video......... that would be me
What is the mean that touching the smooth bit of skin between rough place and teethes?When i say nanana i can feel my tip of tongue touching the lump.But if i keep moving my tongue forward,to the place where you referred to,it would be very very close to my teethes...
Payback speed must be 1.5x
To understand better 👍
Well explained! It seems my throat moves down very far when I swallow, even though i avoid activating the facial muscles, should I be concerned? I'm 24 but i've always had a double chin and small mandible.
Thank you for this knowledge! What is your opinion on permanent retainers? Should they be removed? I am not expecting a definite yes or no; A weak answer is perfectly sufficient for myself.
dafuq2013 he’s said that fixed retainers that go along 4-5 teeth would be the best to get, but not the full mouth clear ones. Bc they stunt your bone structure fixing, and moving out.
