After doing it for a few days I realized the specific technique which I think makes mewing work. Basically all you're doing is trying to push your mouth open with your tongue while keeping your lower mandible tight so it won't open. It's a balance between pushing up into the roof of your mouth with your tongue and pulling your jaw tight so your tongue can't push it down.
If you press too hard with your tongue it will fatigue faster and you'll only feel your tongue getting tight. But if you find a good balance you will feel both your tongue and jaw muscles become tight and fatigued. The harder you push with the tongue the harder your jaw muscles have to work to keep your mouth closed. This is also why it doesn't matter if you keep your teeth touching. Personally I don't think teeth should be touching because it'll fuck your enamel. So I don't touch my teeth but focus instead on keeping holding my lower jaw so it won't open. Pushing your tongue into the roof of your mouth also tightens up your hyoid which further exentuates the jawline.
If you combine chewing gum with mewing you can really feel it in the masseter. Anyway this is all just a theory on how this shit might grow your jaw muscles.

He's more educated than you though so what does that make you

why would this work?

>Wolff's Law
Bones adapt to the load the are placed under. Small forces over long periods of time produce change. These changes come far more easily to children than adults.
The reverse is also true. Without the tongue on the roof of the mouth to counterbalance the force of gravity, the maxilla fails to grow forward, resulting in a narrow dental arch, and jaws that grow down and back.
>picrelated Poor kid got a pet gerbil which he turned out to be allergic to. This caused him to mouth breathe (nearly impossible to do with the tongue in the right position i.e., on the roof of the mouth).
I don't think an adult can change their bone structure but why couldn't you grow your masseter and other facial muscles? Mewing feels kinda like an isometric hold keeping the facial muscles tense

>got severely sick when I was a kid >had to mouth breathe or not breathe at all because stuffed nose >eventually became a habit >stopped doing it but I'm pretty sure I still mouth breathe in my sleep which makes it pointless
Fuck. I could have a chad jawline if not for this one incident in my childhood.

Same but i ate candy and got experience the joy of a fun childhood and cavities
