One Generation of Modern Lifestyle on Indigenous People: www.reddit.com/r/orthotropics/s/igjI4Itqfa If you visit indigenous tribes today they continue to have these wide attractive faces with perfect teeth. It's all about Environment NOT Genetics!
Some indigenous tribes have 0% baldness too. Modern ways of living cause baldness. Normalized, not normal. When you see a bald person, you immediately know they have a metabolic disorder. No health.
I wish mine had known better 40 years ago I went through so much pain eotj extractions and braces and headgear, now I have major TMJ issues caused by all that, when a simply palate expander would have done the trick. Orthodontists aren't really very holistic. Especially 40 years ago.
I wish I had known about mewing when I was a child and before orthodontists extracted 4 perfect teeth. I will never let my daughter have her face ruined like mine was.😢 You and your father are helping more people than you could imagine!!! ❤❤❤
Same here. Now we know and we can help our kids. My ortho tried to explain that I needed to swallow differently but never explained any of this nor was it what he meant. I needed a palate expander like the ALF appliance ...

Same my brother, same. Cromagnons aka true Homo Sapiens Sapiens aka Homo Superior have huge jaws and china and vertical large and wide foreheads, wide, high and outwards protruding cheekbones. While hominids do NOT have chins.
@@doofythegamer9283 Im not sure, but many have them removed because of the lack of space once they start growing in. I'm one of the lucky ones because of the size and shape of my jaw I think.
I started mewing naturally by accident a few years ago, and I have to say besides people not recognizing my face and also getting recorded and mocked by weird incel tiktokers in public, I’d say my life has legit improved as a result. Sure it improved my looks but the important thing is physically I feel just way more comfortable around my nose and cheekbones etc. Breathing through my nose is now super easy and I never have to breathe with my mouth open when doing sprints or intensive cardio etc. My teeth are now perfectly straight like a cartoon character and even my speech and voice is much clearer and sharper. It’s a shame that in high school my orthodontist put on braces and basically ruined my face and my cheekbones but luckily I ditched the retainers and my face popped into the correct position before it was too late. The braces and other dental work really messes your entire face up more than people realize

How did you get your teeth to stay aligned when you were asleep?

Maybe it helps, but the real main focus should be implementing more hard foods from the start when children are growing up. Mewing may be the adult solution where its already too late to alter the full development, it probably still would be a better result if we started doing the right thing from early childhood

It's more than just diet. Good oral posture comes with good posture in general. Weston Price observed that Native American babies were carried in cradleboards - a hard flat surface for your back as opposed to cushy strollers. Native Americans slept on mats on the floor and/or wooden bedsteads. They used their teeth as tools (eg softening animal hides and plant fibers for making clothes) and not just for eating. A nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle is also lighter and less backbreaking than a settled, agrarian one. Look at how hunched over the guy in the ancient painting at 3:28 is, it looks like forward head posture. Modern life with its soft mattresses, soft foods, and desk jobs have literally and figuratively made us soft. Forward head posture, forward rotated shoulders, lordosis, anterior pelvic tilt - see how many people around you have at least one of those. These conditions often go together. I've been sleeping on a yoga mat for the past few months, and it feels much easier to chin tuck. The head and neck are supposed to be tall and regal, and feel light and balanced rather than bent over and heavy. Many people when they first experiment with laying down on a mat, their lower backs don't make contact with the mat because of a curvature in their spine. How you are laying down is how you are standing up. Last but not least, hunter-gatherers from an early age regularly squat instead of sit. A modern adult on average is probably too stiff to do a deep squat, and would have to consistently practice to achieve decent mobility and flexibility, which are key ingredients to good posture.
I don’t believe it’s fully down to chewing and tongue posture; what also very plausibly plays a role is proper calcium intake and transport due to a lot more outside time (Vitamin D; essential for calcium metabolism) and eating whole animal foods, including liver and other organs which contain the vital vitamin K2 MK-4. But I fully support the mentality of working on the root cause, and not the symptoms, and definitely not blaming genetics for every obvious modern lifestyle-caused disease!!!!!
Exactly - Weston Price research shows how carbohydrates - especially processed carbs - starve out vitamins ...diet is critical for the mother especially - (oh just watched all of it - he does mention the importance of Weston Price)
@@TotalFreedomTTT-pk9st Carbohydrates are perfectly fine. They don’t “starwe ouwt witamins”. Hunter-gatherers eat tons of carbs from roots, fruit, nuts and honey.
@@Ruktiet Okay - maybe I did not qualify properly - yes - I eat fresh Pineapple not canned with syrup) - Grapes (not raisins) = Apples (not sweetened with high fructose Apple Sauce) - etc -I make whole wheat bread not white bread etc - I do eat that way to keep my teeth but systemically I think it is a better way So to me they are not "perfectly" fine - they are qualifyingly fine
@@Ruktiet I guess - rereading what you wrote - your argument is to boost various vitamins and nutrients - but I'm not sure that is enough according to the W Price people - there is occlusional or blocking aspects to refined carbs - but I understand you point better
I've been doing mewing exercises since I was about 19, and it made an enormous difference. Unfortunately I was talked into having all of my Wisdom teeth removed, just because of one or two small cavities. I had enough room in my jaws for all of my Wisdom teeth. All I wanted was the cavities filled. I really regret getting them removed. My mother was nagging at me to get them taken out, as she didn't believe in dental care or treatment, ( she had some realy weird hang ups about health in general)and I think oral surgery to have them removed is a scam for more money. It hasn't affected my appearance or jaw structure, but there was no need to remove them. But anyway, I continued with Mewing and jaw exercises as well as eating tough and unprocessed food for my entire life. I'm now 56, and continue with Mewing . It definitely improves jaw muscles, facial structure , neck structur and like other exercises, a way to relieve stress. I've never had issues with snoring, breathing issues or sleep apnea. I breathe through my nose as is normal. Love the information you give to people. Crooked teeth and recessed jaws are not normal nor attractive.
I have a question. (M17, Germany) So im going to get braces bcause my jaw is way to narrow so i have some crooked teeth. Do you think I should get braces or something else.
@@derdiestelzweig1236 hey, ich (M23, auch aus deutschland) kann da auch was zu sagen, ich hatte zwei zahnspangen, die erste mit 14, die zweite mit 18. Jetzt ist es immer noch so dass ich probleme mit der kieferstellung habe, weil sich bei mir nur um die zähne an sich gekümmert wurde. deswegen bin ich jetzt noch einmal zu einer anderen kiefer orthopädin losgezogen, auf empfehlung von einem bekannten. Sie arbeitet auch mit den geräten die in diesem video kurz erwähnt wurden, also quasi der weitung des kiefers über zeit, damit genug platz entsteht für alle zähne. in zwei wochen gehts los und ich kann es kaum erwarten. ich würde dir empfehlen, dich damit noch einmal intensiv auseinander zusetzen, vielleicht auch was von James Nestor angucken und dann eine zweite Ärztliche fachmeinung einholen. (da muss man auch aufpassen, als ich eine zweite meinung eingeholt habe, meinte der orthopäde man könnte bei mir nichts mehr machen aufgrund des alters, es würde nur noch eine op infrage kommen.) Ich bin sehr gespannt auf die behandlung bei meiner neuen ärztin und hoffe meine erfahrungen bringen dir etwas
we didnt just abandon it, it was robbed from us. nature was stolen and turned into "private property", our health has never been a priority since profit was involved.
I hope others don't miss the fact that diet is a key role. I feel like others may use mewing and continue to eat in unnatural ways. We're not made to consume the modern diet of soft and pre-processed foods, our bodies show this.
I’d imagine more food that requires a moderate amount of chewing. Namely non-processed meats, root and leafy vegetables that are not cooked into oblivion, and really try and keep sugar consumption down. Actually chew your food rather than 1-3 chews + swallow.
Great video as always. I'm hoping you can cover the effect of mewing on older people in the near future cause i'm sure many(including me) adults are interested in improving our facial infrastructure
So just start mewing! What are you waiting for? I guarantee you I'm older than you... been mewing for a year now and have a drastic difference in my face... breathing way better... no colds... no double chin... no saggy jawline... teeth have changed.. spread out a little... still mewing.. not going to stop 👍🏻
@kkluczyk i try for 24 hours a day... but doing it while sleeping is sometimes out of your control... you just need to make it a natural position which takes time... I've been doing it for just over a year now, and the effect is stunning
As a speech pathologist, we never learned about any of this in school😒. It was hearing about mewing that cured my own snoring n bad tongue posture 5 years ago! I'd probably still be with neck pain & on my way to obstructive sleep apnea. I also have all of my young clients chew hard foods and educate families. So i appreciate these videos 😀
Mewing makes sense. Adjusting the tension & compression on your jaw and face will certainly affect your facial development. However, some of the “looksmaxxing” trends seem to be quite harmful like those that stretch tendons & ligaments (esp. if asymmetric)
Predators don't chew at all; their jaw muscles are edible raw. The herbavor jaw you simply cant chew; it's a dense matrix of sinew and hard muscle; you'd give up and just poop it out. Modern store shoppers would be shocked at how mutch soft, chewable, tissue can be had from a wild animal. Wild animals actually tend to have more softer tissue as opposed to domestic ( im thinking cow - maybe because they came from stock bread for work tasks). The ammount of slow work a muscle is designed to perform will generally increase the "toughness" of it - in my expirianced determination. Generally, wild animals need muscle designed for short bursts of energy - variations considered, you can get the idea from what I've said. If the food stuff has a negative return of calories. As in, the calories used to chew outweigh the return, we would have found some way to process it before eating. Rocks. They would have been everywhere, used all the time for all sorts of tasks. Food processing evolved with the industrial evolution, it didn't first appear. Seems to me when I see videos of tribal people's, they are often cooking their food. Cooking food on that note would have also been apealing to the ancients as they may have somehow prefered to sterilize the food than take on the parasitic load of meat that had inevitably started to turn but opted to risk eating anyway. The cooked meat may have been slightly more palatable, caused less gas, was easer to digest, discolored their face less, made them less nauseous - reduced signs of pasicites without knowing the microscopic science behind it. A vital elephant mike avoids, which price noted, was the importantce of specific dietary nutrients in tribal diets and how the availability of these nutrients has decreased in modern diets. Increased consumption of the plant toxin sugar, was another point price makes often. I have found deer that will tend more toward slightly crooked/crowded, lower front teeth if they feed heavy in farmland (with wheat and other starch crops, not traditionally available to their species) as opposed to a variety of wild herbs which are loaded with chlorophill and other complex phytonutrients. Just so you know, Deer and moose do have brown stained teeth, particularly near the gums. So I imagine that the ancients teeth color were generally near the same trend. Remember, bone or tooth is not a snow white.
Just a question after watching this- medieval peasants ate a diet almost entirely of pottage, which is essentially a soup, and generally had healthy teeth. Ancient Egyptians often had terrible teeth (and health) and ate lots of bread with coarse sand mixed into it. It seems to me that it isn't just how soft the diet is, although that definitely is important, but also how many anti-nutrients are in it.
Thank you Dr. Mew, never stop your work. I have all 4 wisdom teeth, two descended, and two undescended. My Jaw has never looked better and I have more room within my mouth for my tongue. I should have been chewing carrots and yams from a young age instead of eating chicken nuggets and fries. Now I have to work backward through time.
Bro my dumbass dentist wanted to remobe FRICKING 8 TEETH from my mouth when I was little My parents immediately refused and didnt even let anyone take out one teeth Im so grateful for that
Mewing is my natural mouth position, it is the same for everyone I know, and it should be the same for everyone. Any dentist saying otherwise is probably the one who did something to fuck up your initial teeth when you were a child.
Humans have been cooking with fire for almost a million years. I think a better theory is that our modern diets lack the key nutrients we need to develop our face properly, like Weston price said. Since fire also made meat more tender.
Grew up with a sister who got braces. Just seeing how she scream in pain makes me not want it ever even if I have crooked teeth. Been a subscriber since almost a decade and its nice too see Dr. Mew shifting to a modern youtube documentary style approached of his teachings. I was even surprised mewing even become a meme lol
I wish I had known you 8-10 years ago and about mewing. Now, at almost 17, dealing with a narrow and retruded chin along with an overjet problem is tough. But after turning 18, I'm planning to undergo jaw surgery and genioplasty to address it.
If jaws reduced in size because less used,why skeletons grew in size while also less used ? Does massive populations mix with different bones structures have an impact ? You don't even explain why genetics are not a reason for jaws problems.
When I was a child, dentist said I needed braces- teeth are straight and never needed braces. At the age of 11, dentist wanted to refer my son to orthodontist. I refused, said let’s just see how they turn out. My son at 14 has beautiful teeth- perfectly straight and definitely no need for braces!! 😬
How you can tell he believes in what he is preaching is because he isnt trying to sell you a snake oil product like most of these types of health influencers do, its free to mew or change your diet :).
Not dead yet, glad to find out there are still some of us left, who have retained much of this, I have always hated my chiseled features, (interesting why no crooked teeth and my teeth are wide), and a square jaw, but now I hate them less.
I spended my childhood being a heavy mouth breather due to a WILD tonsils surgical removal because my tiny body ended up developing antibiotic resistance. I went through an orthodontic and orthognatic hell during my teens and early 20’ s. Nowadays, I can' t leave the house with a foulard covering my neck 365. Otherwhise, throat inflammation and aphony. Not to talk about my TMJ issues. *ALL WRONG, ALL AVOIDABLE* Delayed thanks🖤
The reason why our ancestors were a lot healthier than we are is because the ones who weren't healthy died, not because they had some sort of ancient wisdom that we should try to emulate. The fact that old, sick, and weak people still survive in our society is a mark of profound success, not failure.
In that case we all should have perfect health then :v like, you’re literally saying that we are the descendants of the strongest bloodlines in history right?
@@Garrx758 If that is what you took away from what I was saying then you completely missed the point. Go improve yourself. You aren't intelligent enough to educate anyone about anything in any meaningful capacity, but maybe after a decade of rigorous study and hard work you might be able to earn enough credibility to be listened to about something.
I would describe it, even if it is boring, as evolutionarily less necessary. In the old days, when there were no dentists, if you had bad teeth you were cooked, and if you were particularly susceptible to infection, for example, you simply died. Similarly, if your teeth fell out, you were unable to process food, etc., then you had a problem. Therefore positive characteristics were reinforced. Nowadays, nobody has to die from an infected tooth etc. So I would start less from these specific assumptions and think more the potentially big picture as an origin.
@@canesugar911 Yeah, but since plastic surgery and other things have come along, even the original biological appearance is worth less than it used to be. -> evolutionarily less necessary
Retrospective dental understandings like this has been around for a long time(e.g. how caries rarely existed in native tribal communities such as the American Indians and Inuits, and only surfaced once modern lifestyle and modern dental practices were introduced, documented around 1950, or how modern fluoride toothpastes, although is preventive of caries, actually make our teeth more brittle and thus more prone to wear in the long run), and albeit ppl are now unveiling these consequences of civilization diseases, this is only but the tip of the iceberg. The summarized truth is that modern medicine and modern dentistry would never be viable occupations in the first place had we not buy into the modern lifestyle, commercial foods, drinks, and what not. Perhaps we don’t have to go so far as to return being monke to solve the root of the whole shebang, but it’d definitely be in our interest to observe how primates and aborigines have been living out their lives for thousands to tens of thousands of years - how they are doing it right in the most natural way possible, and not needing to get ripped off for reverse-engineering procedures that will ultimately birth iatrogenic problems and were never meant to be in the first place.
Can "Mewing" fix your crooked teeth? No, they won't, even so, here's a huge BUT. Mewing - while not being able to repair your misaligned, asymmetric, or crooked teeth - CAN PREVENT them from getting damaged, mostly preventing the jaw and teeth from straying away to an unpleasant spot. That aside, try to take good care of your dental health by applying various habitual acts such as: 1.) brushing your teeth, minimally twice a day, so those pesky little creatures hiding in your mouth won't eat your teeth. 2.) not chewing or eating food with only half of your face going, because this favors the other side of your jaw's growth and we know that leads to muscle imbalance in your facial area. Instead, try to enjoy your food slowly and mush through it with minimal and also delicate movements 3.) not resting or not relaxing your side of the face for a long period of time, i,e; sleeping, laying your head down, and breathing unevenly/asymmetrically. Similar to number 2, it also causes imbalance because it neglects them too much.
Si puede cambiar los dientes torcidos pero no en 1 año, sino en 2/3/4 años dependiendo de la gravedad de los dientes, lo sé por cuenta propia y de otros.
the human body can not reach good functionality on its own, our body needs external formatting pressure, random events of physical or psychological stress, in order to achieve standard body sturdiness. kids with messed up teeth have over-protective parents who would rather raise a happy vegetable than a thick skin survivor. kids also develop allergies, sickness even cancer all because of morally distorted parents.
I've been expanding my palate for a bit more than a month or so now at 27 years old. I'm not mewing, I'm using an expander similar to the biobloc but without the nudging and retaining wires. I'm expanding at 1/40 of a mm per 24 hours instead of the recommended 1/8. If I turn the device back to it's original size it doesn't fit right, it's extremely loose. Hopefully this will go well!
Thanks for sharing this information despite industry standards. Im glad there is someone who cares about overall health improvement for all people rather than the potential money to be made in the medical field. Thank you
The fact that the government is not forcing parents to make their children eat hard food and not mouth breath should be a crime against humanity, not even exaggerating.
For mouth breathing you need to fix the underlying breathing issue FIRST. You always have the need for enough oxygen and it probably started because the nose were clogged, its just cruel to try to take away someones option to breathe properly
I always wondered this. I believe we selectively bred for Cuteness. We did it to ourselves as Tech grew-so did our demand for Cute Partners. Favoring the look of younger faces, that tend towards never mutating beyond "Pubescent" look.
What solutions are there for people who have already had multiple teeth extracted? I've had 2 teeth only on my right side extracted and it's led to some asymmetry unfortunately.

Last but not least, hunter-gatherers from an early age regularly squat instead of sit. A modern adult on average is probably too stiff to do a deep squat, and would have to consistently practice to achieve decent mobility and flexibility, which are key ingredients to good posture.
the editing on this one is crazy, keep getting better dr mike, your knowledge must capture maximum attention
Thought u said “edging” 💀💀💀💀
I don’t believe it’s fully down to chewing and tongue posture; what also very plausibly plays a role is proper calcium intake and transport due to a lot more outside time (Vitamin D; essential for calcium metabolism) and eating whole animal foods, including liver and other organs which contain the vital vitamin K2 MK-4.
But I fully support the mentality of working on the root cause, and not the symptoms, and definitely not blaming genetics for every obvious modern lifestyle-caused disease!!!!!
Exactly - Weston Price research shows how carbohydrates - especially processed carbs - starve out vitamins ...diet is critical for the mother especially - (oh just watched all of it - he does mention the importance of Weston Price)
@@TotalFreedomTTT-pk9st Carbohydrates are perfectly fine. They don’t “starwe ouwt witamins”. Hunter-gatherers eat tons of carbs from roots, fruit, nuts and honey.
@@Ruktiet Okay - maybe I did not qualify properly - yes - I eat fresh Pineapple not canned with syrup) - Grapes (not raisins) = Apples (not sweetened with high fructose Apple Sauce) - etc -I make whole wheat bread not white bread etc - I do eat that way to keep my teeth but systemically I think it is a better way So to me they are not "perfectly" fine - they are qualifyingly fine
@@Ruktiet I guess - rereading what you wrote - your argument is to boost various vitamins and nutrients - but I'm not sure that is enough according to the W Price people - there is occlusional or blocking aspects to refined carbs - but I understand you point better

If I ever have kids they gonna be eating well done steaks
these new inphographics will help the messeage spread wide and far to the younger generations
Kids in school younger than 10 should be taught about basic dental anatomy, aswell as about the known causes for crooked/crowded teeth..
I've been doing mewing exercises since I was about 19, and it made an enormous difference. Unfortunately I was talked into having all of my Wisdom teeth removed, just because of one or two small cavities. I had enough room in my jaws for all of my Wisdom teeth. All I wanted was the cavities filled. I really regret getting them removed. My mother was nagging at me to get them taken out, as she didn't believe in dental care or treatment, ( she had some realy weird hang ups about health in general)and I think oral surgery to have them removed is a scam for more money.
It hasn't affected my appearance or jaw structure, but there was no need to remove them.
But anyway, I continued with Mewing and jaw exercises as well as eating tough and unprocessed food for my entire life. I'm now 56, and continue with Mewing . It definitely improves jaw muscles, facial structure , neck structur and like other exercises, a way to relieve stress. I've never had issues with snoring, breathing issues or sleep apnea. I breathe through my nose as is normal.
Love the information you give to people. Crooked teeth and recessed jaws are not normal nor attractive.
Take responsibility for your own actions.
I have a question. (M17, Germany) So im going to get braces bcause my jaw is way to narrow so i have some crooked teeth. Do you think I should get braces or something else.
@@derdiestelzweig1236 hey, ich (M23, auch aus deutschland) kann da auch was zu sagen, ich hatte zwei zahnspangen, die erste mit 14, die zweite mit 18. Jetzt ist es immer noch so dass ich probleme mit der kieferstellung habe, weil sich bei mir nur um die zähne an sich gekümmert wurde. deswegen bin ich jetzt noch einmal zu einer anderen kiefer orthopädin losgezogen, auf empfehlung von einem bekannten. Sie arbeitet auch mit den geräten die in diesem video kurz erwähnt wurden, also quasi der weitung des kiefers über zeit, damit genug platz entsteht für alle zähne. in zwei wochen gehts los und ich kann es kaum erwarten. ich würde dir empfehlen, dich damit noch einmal intensiv auseinander zusetzen, vielleicht auch was von James Nestor angucken und dann eine zweite Ärztliche fachmeinung einholen. (da muss man auch aufpassen, als ich eine zweite meinung eingeholt habe, meinte der orthopäde man könnte bei mir nichts mehr machen aufgrund des alters, es würde nur noch eine op infrage kommen.) Ich bin sehr gespannt auf die behandlung bei meiner neuen ärztin und hoffe meine erfahrungen bringen dir etwas

What do you use fer mewing? Any product?
When we abandoned nature we abandoned our well being.
we didnt just abandon it, it was robbed from us. nature was stolen and turned into "private property", our health has never been a priority since profit was involved.
I hope others don't miss the fact that diet is a key role. I feel like others may use mewing and continue to eat in unnatural ways. We're not made to consume the modern diet of soft and pre-processed foods, our bodies show this.
dissappointingly this video did not mention it so, what tough foods are we supposed to be eating??
@@dazey8706 I'm not sure.
@@dazey8706 Meat
Beef Jerky, nuts
I’d imagine more food that requires a moderate amount of chewing. Namely non-processed meats, root and leafy vegetables that are not cooked into oblivion, and really try and keep sugar consumption down. Actually chew your food rather than 1-3 chews + swallow.
Great video as always. I'm hoping you can cover the effect of mewing on older people in the near future cause i'm sure many(including me) adults are interested in improving our facial infrastructure
So just start mewing! What are you waiting for? I guarantee you I'm older than you... been mewing for a year now and have a drastic difference in my face... breathing way better... no colds... no double chin... no saggy jawline... teeth have changed.. spread out a little... still mewing.. not going to stop 👍🏻
@@holistic.healthhow much time per day do you mew on average?
@kkluczyk i try for 24 hours a day... but doing it while sleeping is sometimes out of your control... you just need to make it a natural position which takes time... I've been doing it for just over a year now, and the effect is stunning
I wish i could born again with all the information i have now
I didn't escape extraction, but my kids will. Thank you Dr. Mike! You and your father are revolutionaries.
So.. if you don't use your muscles and bones, they atrophy?
Exactly. Its use it or lose it.
As a speech pathologist, we never learned about any of this in school😒. It was hearing about mewing that cured my own snoring n bad tongue posture 5 years ago! I'd probably still be with neck pain & on my way to obstructive sleep apnea.
I also have all of my young clients chew hard foods and educate families. So i appreciate these videos 😀
Mike is a great storyteller with a renewed zest and energy! Great dynamic in the video! Excellent job! Congrats!
Zest 😂
Mewing makes sense. Adjusting the tension & compression on your jaw and face will certainly affect your facial development. However, some of the “looksmaxxing” trends seem to be quite harmful like those that stretch tendons & ligaments (esp. if asymmetric)
This has to go viral
Predators don't chew at all; their jaw muscles are edible raw. The herbavor jaw you simply cant chew; it's a dense matrix of sinew and hard muscle; you'd give up and just poop it out.
Modern store shoppers would be shocked at how mutch soft, chewable, tissue can be had from a wild animal. Wild animals actually tend to have more softer tissue as opposed to domestic ( im thinking cow - maybe because they came from stock bread for work tasks). The ammount of slow work a muscle is designed to perform will generally increase the "toughness" of it - in my expirianced determination.
Generally, wild animals need muscle designed for short bursts of energy - variations considered, you can get the idea from what I've said.
If the food stuff has a negative return of calories. As in, the calories used to chew outweigh the return, we would have found some way to process it before eating. Rocks. They would have been everywhere, used all the time for all sorts of tasks.
Food processing evolved with the industrial evolution, it didn't first appear.
Seems to me when I see videos of tribal people's, they are often cooking their food.
Cooking food on that note would have also been apealing to the ancients as they may have somehow prefered to sterilize the food than take on the parasitic load of meat that had inevitably started to turn but opted to risk eating anyway. The cooked meat may have been slightly more palatable, caused less gas, was easer to digest, discolored their face less, made them less nauseous - reduced signs of pasicites without knowing the microscopic science behind it.
A vital elephant mike avoids, which price noted, was the importantce of specific dietary nutrients in tribal diets and how the availability of these nutrients has decreased in modern diets. Increased consumption of the plant toxin sugar, was another point price makes often.
I have found deer that will tend more toward slightly crooked/crowded, lower front teeth if they feed heavy in farmland (with wheat and other starch crops, not traditionally available to their species) as opposed to a variety of wild herbs which are loaded with chlorophill and other complex phytonutrients.
Just so you know, Deer and moose do have brown stained teeth, particularly near the gums. So I imagine that the ancients teeth color were generally near the same trend. Remember, bone or tooth is not a snow white.
Just a question after watching this- medieval peasants ate a diet almost entirely of pottage, which is essentially a soup, and generally had healthy teeth. Ancient Egyptians often had terrible teeth (and health) and ate lots of bread with coarse sand mixed into it. It seems to me that it isn't just how soft the diet is, although that definitely is important, but also how many anti-nutrients are in it.
I'd say the problem is sand isn't chewy, it's corrosive. It'd be like chewing on a file.
As for the mediaeval peasants, can't help with that one.
A lot of people from the middle ages had recessed jaws, you can see it from paintings of that period, the problem started in Antiquity.
Thank you Dr. Mew, never stop your work. I have all 4 wisdom teeth, two descended, and two undescended. My Jaw has never looked better and I have more room within my mouth for my tongue. I should have been chewing carrots and yams from a young age instead of eating chicken nuggets and fries. Now I have to work backward through time.
Thank you Mr. Mike and John Mew, we are very thankful for your service!
Bro my dumbass dentist wanted to remobe FRICKING 8 TEETH from my mouth when I was little
My parents immediately refused and didnt even let anyone take out one teeth
Im so grateful for that
Bro really thinks he invented mewing
Mewing is my natural mouth position, it is the same for everyone I know, and it should be the same for everyone. Any dentist saying otherwise is probably the one who did something to fuck up your initial teeth when you were a child.
Humans have been cooking with fire for almost a million years.
I think a better theory is that our modern diets lack the key nutrients we need to develop our face properly, like Weston price said.
Since fire also made meat more tender.
We dont eat red meat ...we eat soft processed chicken...
Nutrients and texture, the hard meat that takes work to chew develops the jaws
The editor needs a raise
i got so much respect for mike and john
Love the new video editing. It makes listening more interactive and it pulls and holds me in. Great work people!
Grew up with a sister who got braces. Just seeing how she scream in pain makes me not want it ever even if I have crooked teeth.
Been a subscriber since almost a decade and its nice too see Dr. Mew shifting to a modern youtube documentary style approached of his teachings. I was even surprised mewing even become a meme lol
I wish I had known you 8-10 years ago and about mewing. Now, at almost 17, dealing with a narrow and retruded chin along with an overjet problem is tough. But after turning 18, I'm planning to undergo jaw surgery and genioplasty to address it.
If jaws reduced in size because less used,why skeletons grew in size while also less used ?
Does massive populations mix with different bones structures have an impact ?
You don't even explain why genetics are not a reason for jaws problems.
5000 years ago our ancestors typically didn't live much past 30.
When I was a child, dentist said I needed braces- teeth are straight and never needed braces.
At the age of 11, dentist wanted to refer my son to orthodontist. I refused, said let’s just see how they turn out.
My son at 14 has beautiful teeth- perfectly straight and definitely no need for braces!! 😬
I must say the video editing is well done
So I should have my child eating steak at age 2?
Chew that meat boy, save on the dental bills... vegans be noshing down bamboo instead.
Well done! Really takes the notion of "you are what you eat" to a whole different level.
How you can tell he believes in what he is preaching is because he isnt trying to sell you a snake oil product like most of these types of health influencers do, its free to mew or change your diet :).
How is it free to change your diet? Also, he's selling an app to teach you how to mew.
Dr Mike the way this video is made and edited and also the way you speak makes this subject way more interesting than it already is.
did bro really invent mewing
Yes
I dare someone question Rockefellers medicine.
Not dead yet, glad to find out there are still some of us left, who have retained much of this, I have always hated my chiseled features, (interesting why no crooked teeth and my teeth are wide), and a square jaw, but now I hate them less.
I spended my childhood being a heavy mouth breather due to a WILD tonsils surgical removal because my tiny body ended up developing antibiotic resistance. I went through an orthodontic and orthognatic hell during my teens and early 20’ s. Nowadays, I can' t leave the house with a foulard covering my neck 365. Otherwhise, throat inflammation and aphony. Not to talk about my TMJ issues. *ALL WRONG, ALL AVOIDABLE*
Delayed thanks🖤
tip: if you buy bread you maybe have a butter knife so if you want to have the jawline you can chew the knife
The reason why our ancestors were a lot healthier than we are is because the ones who weren't healthy died, not because they had some sort of ancient wisdom that we should try to emulate. The fact that old, sick, and weak people still survive in our society is a mark of profound success, not failure.
We’re killing the planet so I don’t know
In that case we all should have perfect health then :v like, you’re literally saying that we are the descendants of the strongest bloodlines in history right?
@@Garrx758 If that is what you took away from what I was saying then you completely missed the point. Go improve yourself. You aren't intelligent enough to educate anyone about anything in any meaningful capacity, but maybe after a decade of rigorous study and hard work you might be able to earn enough credibility to be listened to about something.
Or it has been muddied up over time, alongside inbreeding and poor health choices.
Great video! Infographics just keeps improving.
I would describe it, even if it is boring, as evolutionarily less necessary. In the old days, when there were no dentists, if you had bad teeth you were cooked, and if you were particularly susceptible to infection, for example, you simply died. Similarly, if your teeth fell out, you were unable to process food, etc., then you had a problem. Therefore positive characteristics were reinforced. Nowadays, nobody has to die from an infected tooth etc. So I would start less from these specific assumptions and think more the potentially big picture as an origin.
It affects your looks
@@canesugar911 Yeah, but since plastic surgery and other things have come along, even the original biological appearance is worth less than it used to be. -> evolutionarily less necessary
Proceed with a grain of salt guys
Great finding. You are saving the beauty of man kind
The issue is FOOD, not enough meat. That's it.
Damn!! New editor is a pro!!
Retrospective dental understandings like this has been around for a long time(e.g. how caries rarely existed in native tribal communities such as the American Indians and Inuits, and only surfaced once modern lifestyle and modern dental practices were introduced, documented around 1950, or how modern fluoride toothpastes, although is preventive of caries, actually make our teeth more brittle and thus more prone to wear in the long run), and albeit ppl are now unveiling these consequences of civilization diseases, this is only but the tip of the iceberg. The summarized truth is that modern medicine and modern dentistry would never be viable occupations in the first place had we not buy into the modern lifestyle, commercial foods, drinks, and what not.
Perhaps we don’t have to go so far as to return being monke to solve the root of the whole shebang, but it’d definitely be in our interest to observe how primates and aborigines have been living out their lives for thousands to tens of thousands of years - how they are doing it right in the most natural way possible, and not needing to get ripped off for reverse-engineering procedures that will ultimately birth iatrogenic problems and were never meant to be in the first place.
great video, your production is getting really great
Our ancestors mewed 24/7
mike, whats the option for a bimaxillary protrusive adult? mewing cant work since person is too old. So what now?
It's over for you bro, or you can get a pallete expander, changes will be minimum if over age of 25
I had expanders in both jaws in my late forties. Helped tremendously!
Can "Mewing" fix your crooked teeth?
No, they won't, even so, here's a huge BUT. Mewing - while not being able to repair your misaligned, asymmetric, or crooked teeth - CAN PREVENT them from getting damaged, mostly preventing the jaw and teeth from straying away to an unpleasant spot.
That aside, try to take good care of your dental health by applying various habitual acts such as:
1.) brushing your teeth, minimally twice a day, so those pesky little creatures hiding in your mouth won't eat your teeth.
2.) not chewing or eating food with only half of your face going, because this favors the other side of your jaw's growth and we know that leads to muscle imbalance in your facial area. Instead, try to enjoy your food slowly and mush through it with minimal and also delicate movements
3.) not resting or not relaxing your side of the face for a long period of time, i,e; sleeping, laying your head down, and breathing unevenly/asymmetrically. Similar to number 2, it also causes imbalance because it neglects them too much.
Si puede cambiar los dientes torcidos pero no en 1 año, sino en 2/3/4 años dependiendo de la gravedad de los dientes, lo sé por cuenta propia y de otros.
Im grateful i didn't let orthodontists extract my teeth.
the human body can not reach good functionality on its own, our body needs external formatting pressure, random events of physical or psychological stress, in order to achieve standard body sturdiness. kids with messed up teeth have over-protective parents who would rather raise a happy vegetable than a thick skin survivor. kids also develop allergies, sickness even cancer all because of morally distorted parents.
actually really well made
I've been expanding my palate for a bit more than a month or so now at 27 years old.
I'm not mewing, I'm using an expander similar to the biobloc but without the nudging and retaining wires.
I'm expanding at 1/40 of a mm per 24 hours instead of the recommended 1/8. If I turn the device back to it's original size it doesn't fit right, it's extremely loose.
Hopefully this will go well!
i have perfectly aligned straight teeth, with no signs of decay neither cavities.
Me not needing braces:
You are doing gods work Mike!
It's bc of social media. So many ugly people on social media and we are all becoming what we look at
This guy is the inventor of mewing?!
Yes
It started with his father actually
My mom got braces and her jaw and mouth shrank, changing the appearance of her face, I thought i was imagining things, but this video confirms it.
Finally a video that I can show my mom
Our dna is breaking down.
Another banger dr mew
Did they mew 500 years ago or chew more? chewing more could be "a" solution to the problem.
I am fan for mike mew.very usefull video in this generation.please regularly upload video.
short answer: because they had no options
Great content, keep up the good work doc, we all are with you on your journey.

Thanks for sharing this information despite industry standards. Im glad there is someone who cares about overall health improvement for all people rather than the potential money to be made in the medical field. Thank you
Great editor!
in current year my teeth are as closer to my ancestors than most people never had a problem with wisdom teeth and they look great
The fact that the government is not forcing parents to make their children eat hard food and not mouth breath should be a crime against humanity, not even exaggerating.
For mouth breathing you need to fix the underlying breathing issue FIRST. You always have the need for enough oxygen and it probably started because the nose were clogged, its just cruel to try to take away someones option to breathe properly
I always wondered this.
I believe we selectively bred for Cuteness. We did it to ourselves as Tech grew-so did our demand for Cute Partners. Favoring the look of younger faces, that tend towards never mutating beyond "Pubescent" look.
great editting glad you're back
What solutions are there for people who have already had multiple teeth extracted? I've had 2 teeth only on my right side extracted and it's led to some asymmetry unfortunately.
