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.

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

Muscle holds the jaw bone and teeth in place, fix your muscle fix your face.
Kayden Gonzalez
I started wearing a mouth guard and after about 5 months I can see a difference in musculature. Now i haven't noticed a difference in forward growth but i do believe that over time working the jaw muscles will have positive impacts on my face. Just look at nfl players they all wear mouth guards and you cannot find a single jawlet in the nfl.
>Never able to breathe through nose >Can't swim underwater without plugging nose because not enough power to keep water out of airways >Mouth breather >Bring it up to parents as kid and they say I'm fine and quit whining >Develop shit teir jawline >Don't realize it's not normal until too late >Requires surgery that costs thousands
Fuck.
Chase Sanchez
>he admitted himself that it's nearly impossible to change your facial structure unless you're doing this shit 24/7 for decades He doesn't give a time from but says you have to be dedicated with it. I don't recall him ever saying it will take decades to pay off.

>stopped doing it but I'm pretty sure I still mouth breathe in my sleep which makes it pointless Use 3M mico-pore tape, or mouth tape to cover your mouth at night until it becomes habit. Even if the aesthetic benefits are minimal at this point, nose-breathing has many health advantages over mouth breathing.

More than anything 'mewing' much like 'jelqing' or anything else like that is just something clung to by people with deep insecurities.
They have problems and externalise it onto 1 or 2 specific features. Hey, if I can fix PROBLEM then everything in my life will click into place and I'll be fixed.
This is the same shit you see with PUA/REDPILL or any other ideology .. the common theme is people on the social fringe trying to locate that 1 epiphany that will change their life like it's suppose to be .. like hollywood told them their life should be.
It doesn't matter how blatantly this 'method' flies in the face of actual science .. like seriously .. the idea of molding your adult bones by pushing your tongue into the roof of your mouth as a permanent fix is genuinely laughable if you even have a 101 level of knowledge on physiology.
Shit, we can't even get bone to permanently be adjusted by wiring the jaw with braces for years .. but yeah putting your tongue to the roof of your mouth for 15 minutes a day TOTALLY will fix it bro ..
Thomas Foster
It may not fix my life, but a nicer face will be a nice enhancement
Kevin James
Then you've missed the point: it's the last wish of a dying man.
This obviously will not change your bone shape just like jelqing obviously wont give you an 8x6 cock.
Mewing is predicated upon an observation of bone development in childhood which was extrapolate by 1 fringe idiot who attempted to apply it to fucking adults .. hint: adults are not children.
There are things you can do to prevent a child having abnormal bone development, but there is nothing you can do to fix that abnormal bone development once it is formed other than to break and fix the bones.
If it helps your brain process it .. imagine a broken nose .. when its immediately after the break we can work to prevent it permanently being deviated by realigning it .. but if you go to the hospital 6 months later you're shit out of luck.
Xavier Anderson
but jelqing and mewing both work. u dont know shit
Christian James
Neither work, but your insecurity about your penis size and facial aesthetics prevent you from being able to accept basic physiology.
You need a psychologist, not Jow Forums.
Charles Sanders
> jelqing doesn't work
Opinion disregarded
Daniel Morgan
He doesn't claim it will change the bone though, just strengthen the muscles that position. The example he gives with Stephen Hawking seems to support his view, since he went from a strong jawline in his 20s to being slackjawed very quickly. So if it's an issue of musculature why shouldn't the reverse be possible?
Also he's fringe because his idea doesn't make any money for dentists compared to expensive surgeries so of course the mainstream establishment won't promote his solution.
Henry Phillips
> Been hearing about jelqing for probably going on 2 decades.
> Seen a total 0 progress pictures.
Yet everyone says it works .. interesting.
Luis Price
Err, have you ever seen a photo of Stephen Hawking?
Go google him pre-paralysis and post-paralysis and tell me if you actually think he ever had a strong jaw line.
He had a prominent chin and that stayed with him the entire time .. because it's bone.
Also the idea of "well if we paralyse every muscle and the bone droops means if you push your tongue to the roof of your mouth = bones get broader and more prominent" is borderline retarded.
Julian Brooks
Cause no one wants to take pics of their small dick.
Also, I've seen progress pics
Kevin Martin
The logic is that it will strengthen the muscles which become weak due to bad posture and your jaw will orient itself in a more natural position, not that it will change the way the bone looks or functions.
Christian Hughes
if you actually tried stuff instead of making up bullhsit assumption you wouldnt be such a retard
Elijah Perry
You need a psychologist.
Andrew Cook
Does this do the same shit as one of those gay jaw workout chewballs?
Id rather just pay $50 for one of those
Dominic Nelson
Except this logic is .. again .. predicated upon the observation of children having abnormal bone development.
It requires aggressive treatment at that point .. i.e. as soon as they start showing signs of a skewed bite or poor development.
I mean a guiding principal of orthodontics is that these problems are sealed by age 12.
Thats where this principal of 'tongue to roof of mouth' comes from .. it's used to possibly advert the need for surgery in children < 12 years old.
It has NO application for an adult .. this is the point ..
If you are 18+ and your jaw is not aligned or developed correctly it is too late for preventive medicine.

James White
Bone development stops at 25, no amount of loading will increase bone density beyond this point.
Tell Wolff I said suck my dick.
Xavier Cox
>we can't even get bone to permanently be adjusted by wiring the jaw with braces for years
This contradiction. Why do Teeth relapse after braces are removed?
>15 minutes a day More like years. No one here is looking for a quick fix, so good luck trying to win with this argument with that retarded reductionism.
Stroke victims see changes in bone structure after enough time elapses.
Wolff's Law: > bone in a healthy person or animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed.
How much are the Jews at the American Association of Orthodontists paying you to spend your time shilling on the fitness board of a Venezuelan pearl diving website?
Jackson Morales
At what age do realise typin spicy Jow Forums memes makes you look like more of a retarded edgelord than an ironic coolkid?

I'm a frequent mouthbreather due to deviated septum and I have an alright jaw line. besides, gerbils don't even live that long
Lucas Roberts
So why is it recommended that women begin resistance training to avoid developing osteoporosis later in life? I guess all those people need to see psychologists too, huh?
He gives an entire speech with pictures and shit about how quickly our skull and jaw adapt. He shows Stephen Hawking’s normal face and jaw when he was young and within a few years Hawking had a crooked troll jaw after leaning it on his shoulder.
I recommend doing light jaw exercises. I broke my in a car wreck and it required surgery with wires to hold it together. I had lose skin (double chin) after it healed up and I’m a skeleton that lifts. Anyway, I tilt my head back on the end of a bench, hold a 10 pound medicine ball on the bottom of my chin, and open my mouth against the weight. I do 30-50 reps at a time. I definitely feel it in my face and it has significantly reduced my double chin.
Ayden Cruz
Prior to ~25 your ratio of osteoclast and osteoblast is skewed in favour of osteoblasts which allows you to generate a net gain of bone mass.
After ~25 the ratio switches in favour of osteoclast which means you'll be generating a net bone loss.
So basically, you should probably get atleast an introductory biology class under your belt before you try talk like a smug lil shit.
Stay down niba.
Chase Parker
you can suffocate if you seal your mouth shut and for whatever reason your nose becomes obstructed. i mean it's possible you wake up in time before serious damage is done but i don't recommend this.
Luis Turner
Mewing is just another word for "don't be a fucking mouthbreather" you faggot, that's the natural position of your jaw/tongue
Camden Nelson
>Stay down niba.
I hope this thread never ends kek. Kids going back and forth on an Mongolian cartoon forum on a Friday night because of fucking tongue position.
>tfw i dont know if lifting and/or mewing+chewing made my face a lot more aesthetic because i started doing both at the same time
I'm 26 so it's definitely not puberty.
Jordan Lopez
How many hours per day ? Also when you sleep ?
Nolan Phillips
So if we are assuming that mewing is not pants on head retarded, it's still worth doing past your mid twenties?

hmmmmmmm
Mason Parker
I started doing it a year ago just to try and I'm 22. It doesn't seem like my bones are any different size but my face looks much more aesthetic muscularly and it makes breathing easier so it is at least worth it for those reasons.
Nah you've just clearly either made it or not by the time you're 30.

Aaron Bell
False, lad. Mewing works even if you're older. Not bone-wise but it tightens your muscles. It helps you avoid saggy skin in your jaw and chin.
Eli Watson
>Not bone-wise but it tightens your muscles yeah, so it doesn't work. It is EFFECTIVE, but not for its real intent. >It helps you avoid saggy skin in your jaw and chin. true
