+Obey Marulez That's because Mew has practiced the correct tongue posture himself for nearly a decade. On other videos he has said that he looks better now than he did years ago. Positive change is possible at any age, I've already begun to see some improvement in a mere month at 23.
I'm teaching my little brother and sister about this. Dont want them to have an ugly underbite like me. I will also teach my baby sister when she gets a little older.
@@MessiahMews My dad is trained as a chiropractor so I got back adjustments as a child, so I'm lucky for that, but he says he has worked on my skull and didn't find anything wrong with it and doesn't believe me when I say my face is all messed up :'(
Dr. Mark Reichman of Vancouver performed upper and lower jaw surgery on myself in 1997 to fix a malocclusion . The operation left me with a torn palate, ripped through 3 layers of tissue in to my nasal cavity. He attempted to fix the damaged palate with two additional failed operations. The jaw surgery widening was excessive which caused the massive tear. He choose " free grafting" to attempt to seal the torn palate. The first attempt made the hole smaller, the second attempt failed and left extensive scar tissue. I consulted 4 other surgeons and decided to stop allowing him to experiment any further. I have had a plate covering the hole now for 15+ years. I rinse out my nasal cavity after each meal.
In 2006, I was 17-18 years old. I had lower jaw reconstruction sugurey to bring my jaw foward a few mm. I was innitaly soppose to have top and bottom reconstructive surgery but once in recovery room I was told they only did the bottom as they felt I didn't need the top portion done. Also during this operation the surgeon removed 3/4 fully impacted wisdom teeth. The 3rd molar on the right was left in because they needed that tooth to act as stabilizer for the screws in the jaw until the new bone grew back, then they'd remove it. My jaw was wired shut. At the time I had braces on my teeth and my bite wouldn't allign properly with out this particular operation. I was told I could "possibly" lose sensation/feeling in my lower chin lip and lower gums and teeth. However I permanently lost feeling in Lower lip, Chin, teeth & gums. After 10 years nothing has changed other than every now and then I'll get a burning or stinging or pins and needles sensation in certain areas of my chin & lip from time to time. It's annoying but I've learned to live with it. I'm not sure what happened other than the The mandibular inferior alveolar nerve got severed or stretched or pulled or damaged. Even the orthodontist at the time had no clue what happened nor did the surgeon. I was never told it could be permanent. It became a love/hate procedure while the results of my bite and facial construction looked amazing I honestly don't think it was worth losing the feeling to half of my face. Sometimes I'll get this like surge of tickling sensation through a nerve and I badly want to scratch it only to find I can't locate where the itch was coming from then on days I'll have a dull aching feeling in a nerve. Some days it will pulsate like a heart beat some ticklish some tender to the touch. Some days I feel fine some days in a ton of pain. Some days I feel the wind on my face other days I can't. Some days I scratch my chin or lip and get a rush of the ticlkes followed by a few seconds of pins and needles then back to no feeling. Sometimes I scratch I'll feel a mini orgasm in my chin and lip and the nerves will travel to my nose and other parts of my face and make that area start to itch. Since this operation I'm e extremely sensitive to cold water or things touching my chin or bottom lip. At times it's very painful times its feels nice. It's such a complicated thing to explain. I wish I had a way for my nerve to heal but after 10 going on 11 years I've come to terms I'll end up like this for the rest of my life. I wish I knew how to feel in my jaw teeth lip and chin. If any dentist or doctor or orthodontist or anyone in general is reading this and have any information they can provide to me about anything going on with me please let me know. Also what's the probability this nerve can be healed or saved if at all?
Cheryl Tindwani I recently had the same surgery and I’m taking a vitamin b complex and lions mane mushrooms, they help with nerve regeneration. You should be able to get them at your local health food store!
u can try acupuncture. I heard they say its very effective. I joined a jaw surgery group to follow up all the patient journey since im planning to get jaw surgery in more two years
I wish I had seen these videos when they came out or sooner. I just had double jaw surgery 1 week ago to fix my underbite and I wonder if someone taught me proper tongue posture when I was young if I could have avoided it. Although the surgery really isnt that horrible anymore with new technologies so its not a huge deal like it was around the time when this video came out
I had physical therapy 20 years ago to improve my tongue position. I couldn't afford the surgery. I still need it. After 20 years I can say that managing my tongue is extremely important but I still need the surgery.
Mm no my tongue is on top of my mouth 100 percent of the time because I have no room in my jaw and it gives me sleep apnea headaches neck pain shoulder pain, teeth grinding. Sometimes it can be caused from protruding tongue but not always.
'In medicine, it's about treating causes.' I agree this is how it should be; however, the vast majority of doctors only want to give you a bunch of meds, etc., to cover up the symptoms (eg. I had a doc who told me I'd have eczema forever and that I needed to take a steroidal cream to 'deal with it.' I changed things in my diet, and low and behold, my eczema went away). They rarely look into the cause b/c they want you to keep coming back.
@@nataliadeja69 I cut out milk and reduced refined sugar intake. Any time I start eating too much sugar, my hands get itchy, so I know I need to cut back.
@@shawshank_1317 bro he's old as fuck, you will be lucky to have that much hair that age. Look at him when he was young he was a straight 10/10 with his jaw and facial structure, can you say the same about yourself now?
I've finally seen some videos where you confirmed you can help adults with jaw/teeth alignment issues... I'm so desperate to get your treatment I would sell a kidney.
I've had two surgeries... mainly because I had my first surgery too young. I was 16 and my jaw wasn't fully grown in yet. This caused me to get a second surgery. It's been about 8 years now and I haven't had a relapse *knock on wood*.
true, I had to get the wisdom teeth ojn the right side of my jaw removed because it started to hurt and infect somehow and he wanted to remove the other ones as well. Went to another dentist and he told me there was no need to remove them as long as theyre not infected or whatever
So I agree you should treat the cause when possible, but you don’t do jaw surgery without not being able to change the cause. In my younger years my lower jaw simply did not grow enough, no braces, nothing helped. With the failed treatment enough time had passed for my jaw to not grow anymore. This left me with an overbite of 2,5 cm. I’m sorry but it’s just not functional. I had to tear everything I ate with my mullers, because my front teeth at no point would be together. I don’t regret a thing. I can eat normally, breath normally, close my lips, etc. It was one of the best things I ever did, even though it was only a year ago. It changed my life so much, so don’t be scared away by this. If it would improve your functioning and quality of life, do it if you want to.
thats literally what he said....Do surgery if the goal is to do more than something superficial and to promote forward growth, which is what happened for you.
He is right, I had a bad relapse on my first jaw surgery. I had a forward head posture, tongue on the base of the mouth and constantly pressing against my upper teeth. The work done by the braces and the surgery were all destroyed and I ended up with very bad pain due to having only 2 back teeth contacting when I chew. Had to redo both braces treatment and double jaw surgery by a different surgeon and orthodontist.
@@shivamgore9295 Only an orthodontist can tell your that. He knows what he can and cannnot do depending on your case. If he needs a surgery to have a good end result he will know.
@@Blakestoneman I know it’s old but what advice would u give to avoid this? I fear of the same, I think myotherapy or something like that? Or exercises or what? The tongue thing
Dear Mr Mew, I deeply believe you have put some rather substantial recommendations forward in this video. I closely understand your rationel and strongly agree with your suggestions, however, one question that has surged concerns the extent to which it is possible to further implement "proper tongue posture", "tongue chewing", as well as other methods for facial betterment that you propose after a possible jaw operation has been undertaken. To explicitly tell whether surgery or alternative methods are more effective, it is essential to understand how the face will function differently after a jaw surgery. Especially with the advancements taking place, what real impact does a jaw surgery deliver surrounding "form/shape" and how can this affect the methods you are suggesting?
I regret this surgery, I was happy before it. And it took a cute toll o me, my spirit, my mind and my body. I'm 8 months post surgery and I feel miserable. I have trouble concentrating. My body isnt the same as it uses to be, and I have constant headed. Before the surgery I was working on my toungue posture and considered myself atractive and confident. I'm neither confident, nor feel healthy. My speech has also changed. Mayne it was because I'm in a stressful environment.
My eyesight has worsen, I look tired and drained. The skin around my face is very lose. And I'm not liking the way I'm healing at all. I look so old now. I hate this. I hate the survey. Before the surgery I was asked to cancel. But I was scared I was going to regret my choice.
@@anoukc6928 I'm 20 .and yes double jaw surgery, I have a weak chin now, i used to get told I looked 16-17 a week before, now I get mixed up more than twice that age on my bad days... I feel awful. This destroyed my self esteem
@@ChowMeinChowdown Even this isn't set in stone, I have read medical papers where orthos were able to achieve mandible expansion with a bioblock type appliance.
@@Tammc09 which ones? It's common ortho knowledge that the mandible is set and expansion after full development is more likely teeth tipping. But we still do not know a lot of things like exactly how the mandible grows, so personally I think it is not entirely impossible. But if i were to guess where that growth occurs it would be at the condyle and ramus areas and not the body where the suture has likely fused, especially in older folks.
@@ChowMeinChowdown look up chester s handelman nonsurgical maxillary and concurrent mandibular expansion, I'm unable to locate the one I'd seen with the biobloc, which was from a female Indian ortho. It's not entirely unheard of, but you are right that expansion/remodeling in the condylar area and ramus is much quicker and more reliable. Tbh I lack faith in these methods for cases of recession as bad as mine, given how young this field of study appears to be, I'm saving for bimax with a renowned surgeon who has demonstrated the ability to resolve cases similar to mine.
I'm watching your video and it doesn't seem like you have a weaker lower jaw. You look really cute actually. I corrected my tongue posture (according to Dr. Mew) 3 days ago and I can already tell that I'm brething much better now. I also started mewing a bit and I can feel the pain of the muscles under my lower jaw, when they work and I love it. If I won't see any results at all I won't be mad though, because my tongue posture is not much better so my breathing is good.
Mike I’m doing everything you say, like mewing..nose breathing..tongue on roof of palate..from last three months. Mike I’m 19 , there’s a tooth growing at the back of my mouth. Is this effect of doing what you say? Should I worry about it ?
pepe the frog that all depends on wether your bite is off.. if your bite is fine and your jaws align it’s just the way genetics made your facial features.
Angie Schwart he says we can improve our face by changing our tongue position, press your tongue to the roof of your mouth while keeping your mouth closed, breath like this and basically make that position your neutral position, if you do this for a long period of time your face shape would change for good being jaw surgery unnesesary. But at the end he says jaw surgery can be also done if the case needs it. Basically is not to do jaw surgery before had tried to change tongue position. Sorry for my english, it's not my native language but i hope this helps
I'm getting MMA surgery next year due to Obstructive sleep apnea. This doctor has no idea why you SHOULD get these. At this point of what untreated OSA has done to my body all these years, I'm willing to risk this "unperfected" surgery. I'm willing to chance a numbed jaw. A worst posture, etc. He's never had to deal with waking up every single day. Every day. Affecting your personal life. Work life. When everything else fails like CPAP, the risks are worth it.
Is the relapse from jaw surgery due to the wrong tongue posture though? I mean intially people who have breathing problems don't have their tongue in the correct place and just naturally have relapsing maxillas.
Who titled this? He was not saying not to have jaw surgery at all! He was advising not to ignore the reason for...IE tongue placement. Why title this, to discourage a helpful procedure? My guess the poster is not a medical professional.. GAL...
ak k HES NOT AGAINST IT, HE JUST THINKS IT SHOULD BE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEVERE ASTHETIC OR FUNCTIONAL ISSUES AND NOT FOR MOST PEOPLE WHO CAN FIX THEIR ISSUES WITH MEWING OR SOME SORT OF APPLIANCE
I have an underbite (class III). Is it possible for my upper jaw to move forward by starting to place my tongue on my upper palate from now on? How long would it take to get results?
hi i got an class 3 underbite and i was wondering if i get jaw surgery will it affect my hearing because i already have an hole on my left eardrum. so will it affect?
I am going to consult with a few more orthodontists. A week ago, I went to one, and she told me that, at my age (21 years old) and having done a previous treatment of braces, it may be better to go through surgery to expand maxilla and the mandible, instead of getting a device like a kind of similar to a DNA appliance one. What should I do???, honest and serious answers please, I also wait for your reply Mike, thanks btw
I would go specifically to a "functional orthodontist" vs. a regular orthodontist, and tell them you want to try a device before surgery. You are still young. Unless your circumstances are critical, I would try an appliance/s 1st. It's your money and your choice.
Just buy a maxzilla expander online, those are way safer than those dentists use. One of those plastic ones, DO make sure its a low allergy one - nickel free. Using chewing gum or even better mastic gum can get your jaw forward half a centimetre more, also gives mike mew jaws.
Oh c'mon i have been mewing for 4 months and watching mewing videos and fixing my mistakes. However my face hasn't changed at all and i am 15 year old. What should i do?
See a practitioner who can provide you with a biobloc or homeoblock appliance to train you to subconsciously to maintain the rest position: tongue on the roof of the mouth, lips sealed, upper and low teeth lightly touching for 8 hours a day at least.
I am 16 now lol but no changes in appereance, but even after removing my retainer my teeth have moved only a little bit because i wasn't sealing my mouth shut during sleep so i was mouth breathing. And i am taping my mouth now during the night and we'll see what happens, so mewing comes with a lot of benefits for sure
I just had my lower jaw brought forward 18mm on December 22nd 2017. My bite is not aligned correctly now. I wish I would have known more about this before getting this surgery. I regret everything.
@@JammyJamz8 you're someone who seems scared of it. Dont fearmonger other people who aren't. Let everyone decide how they're going to live their lives.
I have a tiny maxilla, crossbite and my jaw is dislocated. 8 years of braces, twice, in teens and twenties. Ear fullness and light sensitive eyes. Don't know what to do.
I had braces for 2 years suddenly started pain in left ear and left side of the jaw so I removed my braces after that I am diagnosed with TMJ ..Dr told me u need surgery for that what should I do ??? ... As I don't want to undergo through surgery. I expect honest answer from you..
I have the option of doing surgery to put the lower jaw back in place and take it back to where it was and then start pushing the teeth forward I had lower jaw surgery my my surgeon told me he will do it for free I dont know what to do? I look bad now
interesting, altough what i dont get is how you can have surgery done for a different purpose than orthotropics, like, both of them are for either health or asthetics, general improvements, i dont think annyone has jaw surgery done for a reason thats not health or asthetics
I tried mewing since i was 15 now im 20 and i still cant keep my tongue of the roof of my mouth. I know i need the surgery especially because i cant breath with correct tongue posture and my tongue feels too big for my mouth. Additionally people keep calling me ugly.
+K lol thanks for the feelz. Truth is my situation i not that bad. I have small bimax that is not that bad. Im 19 years old i have good jawline good cheekbones but i am a bit unsatisfied with my profile look. Id want my teeth back a few mm and my chin up and forward few mms. Its not worth taking surgeries when my situation would be easily solved with orthotropics :/
***** Im not even ugly I was just made fun out when I was a kid and now I have the need to have perfect teeth etc. Much of my problems would be solved if I wident my arch. But all orthodontist want me to extract teeth when they are not even crooked. Btw no cash for the surgeries. xD
I can help widen your arch. your oral alignment is affected by body fat percentage. working out will change your facial structure. But many people workout with the wrong exercise selection. If you do it wrongly, you can potentially look uglier! The reverse is true. What most people don't realize is just how much these can affect you. If your interested in changing your oral alignment, shoot me an email at hifikepunye@yahoo.com I can help you maximize your facial aesthetics. No surgery guaranteed. And you are right, the dentists advocate teeth removal because they don't know better, it's how they are taught!
+Rainnae Day Sure, email me. If you want faster responses drop your WhatsApp number. Do you workout at all? If you don't then try it and be consistent. Working out absolutely has the potential to change your bone structure. Soft tissue changes appearance a big deal and not to mention the forces acting on bones. Just check out this case where her temporalis atrophied - www.realself.com/question/temporalis-muscle-wasting-from-botox-reversedk Yeah I believe orthotropics is pioneered by Dr Mew so you will find orthodontists instead. Lefort 1 is typically the recommended procedure for underbites.
I have same problem as thumbnail but I don't have much money for his online treatment. I am 14 yrs old and I can change my facial structure.. I can't help myself.
Anyone here improve their overbite (deep bite) through mewing? Ditched my retainers and have been maintaining perfect tongue posture for the past couple of months, not too much change yet.
@@RetnuhKay mewing will make your overbite worst, sorry to say. Only people with straight teeth and enough space to hold the tongue on pallate have significant results on mewing
My smile has gotten wider and my whole face has "aligned" or "focused", meaning that the eyes, chin, nose, forehead all point to more the same direction now. Before my forehead was angled upward, jaw downward, nose somwhere in between etc.

PSA: Listen to this guy! Thank you so much for making these videos. So about 3 years ago I went to my GP and requested jaw surgery because I was extremely uncomfortable with my side profile. I am now preparing for surgery but it was only about 2 months ago I discovered that putting my tongue in the correct position of my mouth massively has improved my posture and looks so much better. It he also changed the way I breath for the better. Now the only thing I worry about is when I get surgery. Will I maintain the good posture I have achieved by continuing with these habits? Please reply soon as possible Thanks (I watched the video about forward head posture and its relationship to the tongue position in the mouth - in case you were wondering)
What if your 12 yrs old and with a receding chin, with proper tongue posture and keeping my mouth closed can you grow out of the receding chin? Dis is for my cousin btw
If myself, a 20 year old can make changes in just a few months, your cousin can do the same in weeks. Just make sure that he has complete suction and his full tongue engaged (alongside lower jaw muscles), otherwise it'll be slow as balls.
Well i've been mewing for quite a long time now,, maybe 5/8months ? And i don't see changes , exept that i look less tired but i don t think it has to do with that, my jaw is still verry low/at the back and i have a proheminent gummy smile :( i hate that it makes my face so long , i want to do a surgery one day but at the same time my orthodontist tells me that i should not risk it because i have a "little" gummy smile. I don t even know what to do at this point because mewing doesn t work and it's not like my bones are super hard now because i'm still 15 so it should be more maleable according to doctors but then why don't i see results
@@prince_sach50 now i'll be 17 in a month and i have to say that my facial symetry has gotten better (or is it just my growth) my breathing is also better. I have braces and it might have retracted a little some of the gum but i still have a gummy smile, i still have my jaw low but even with that i have come to the conclusion that there's worse in life and i'm quite happy with what i have. Somes have huge deformities, somes don't have limbs and i was there being self concious of not having an " attractive bone structure of my face". Thank God i can see/hear/breath/touch the wonderful world. Also i learnt that the attractiveness of a person is the full package, not just 1 feature. The perfume, the types of clothing, the hairstyles, make up, the way they walk/stand, their voice are all things that make physicaly a person attractive. Not just what you were born with. And ofc not to mention the most obvious, the personality. So i wanted to tell you that you shouldn't worry about the structure of your face if it doesn't hurt you👍🏻
@@anemon1900 Thank you for this. Recently I have been extremely self conscious about my jawline, it is not prominent at all. I have always breathed through my nose and chewed well, lived healthy, ate good food, and I don't have any issues other than teeth (which were fixed by braces, though I still have a bit of an overbite). My parents don't have a prominent jawline but theirs is much better than mine. I have been distracted and slightly depressed after recently finding out about my jawline, I never really noticed anything like this before, my side profile is very ugly. I don't have any problems breathing, or chewing but I do hear a pop when I fully open my mouth. I just wanted to get this off my chest, I don't know what I should do, like getting surgery or just living with it. But your comment helped alleviate my pain.
Just put your tongue on the position it is when you swallow, otherwise if you try to press your tongue on the roof of your mouth intentionally you'll get tired fast
@MASTER OOGWAY 🍀 yeah it might get better if you do everything right. Listen to Mike Mews advice on mouth posture and neck posture thats how you make progress. I don't want to explain it because I don't want to explain it incorrectly.

I've been to 2 doctors and one says I need to do the surgery and the other one says it's very opitional. Sometimes I get confused if I really need that shit or no
Guys my problem is that my upper palate is expanded but my lower palate is extremely small...like my upper teeth have widened since I’ve gotten my tounge up on the roof of my mouth but my lower teeth and palate are really really close together and my Lower jaw is like weak too is there any suggestions guys that can help? It would be much appreciated
I would hate to disagree with you, we take the view that the customer is always right but I am stunned to hear that anyone could widen their upper dental arch, but not their lower from Mewing. It does not make logical sense. The teeth should be in or near contact and move in unison. All I can conclude is that you are not doing it right and as you should know if you follow me I rarely ever give out personal advice, with very good reason. M
Orthotropics thank you for you’re reply, you’re right I have been very confused on what exactly I should be doing for a long time. Ik that u don’t give advice out personally but maybe if I could can you tell me what videos can guide me in the right direction please?
I thought the same thing. It's only logical that if you're putting continuous pressure on the maxilla, it will slowly widen. You would have to be putting this same pressure on your mandible as well in order for it to widen in step with your maxilla. From my understanding, mewing seems to focus only on putting pressure on the maxilla (which seemed odd as the lower jaw would soon be out of alignment with the top-perhaps I missed this step??).
Robin S idk man I rested my tounge on the roof of my mouth, breathed through my nose, kept my lips closed, i put a lot of research and time into this stuff and a lot of different websites would say keep ur teeth touching, keep ur teeth barely touching, or make sure ur teeth aren’t touching and that’s what I did was making sure my teeth don’t touch each other so maybe that’s what messed things up...Im probably just gonna set up a oral myofunctional therapy appointment up or something because none of these videos and websites r making sense...my face looks so much worse than what it did before I honestly feel like I’ve screwed up my whole life by doing this like it would be great if they put a warning up on their videos before they start saying hey...”make sure u do this right or it could potentially mess ur face up and be irreversible” sucks man
@@gamesbond1873 I've learned to activate my lower jaw muscles so that they're visibly expanded when mewing. After implementing this i've noticed immediate changes to my jaw shape, so i believe that this may be a step you are missing.
Easy to talk about this with a perfect jaw position

Preach!
aha true
+Obey Marulez That's because Mew has practiced the correct tongue posture himself for nearly a decade. On other videos he has said that he looks better now than he did years ago. Positive change is possible at any age, I've already begun to see some improvement in a mere month at 23.

Dr. Mark Reichman of Vancouver performed upper and lower jaw surgery on myself in 1997 to fix a malocclusion . The operation left me with a torn palate, ripped through 3 layers of tissue in to my nasal cavity. He attempted to fix the damaged palate with two additional failed operations. The jaw surgery widening was excessive which caused the massive tear. He choose " free grafting" to attempt to seal the torn palate. The first attempt made the hole smaller, the second attempt failed and left extensive scar tissue. I consulted 4 other surgeons and decided to stop allowing him to experiment any further. I have had a plate covering the hole now for 15+ years. I rinse out my nasal cavity after each meal.

I was innitaly soppose to have top and bottom reconstructive surgery but once in recovery room I was told they only did the bottom as they felt I didn't need the top portion done. Also during this operation the surgeon removed 3/4 fully impacted wisdom teeth. The 3rd molar on the right was left in because they needed that tooth to act as stabilizer for the screws in the jaw until the new bone grew back, then they'd remove it. My jaw was wired shut. At the time I had braces on my teeth and my bite wouldn't allign properly with out this particular operation. I was told I could "possibly" lose sensation/feeling in my lower chin lip and lower gums and teeth. However I permanently lost feeling in Lower lip, Chin, teeth & gums. After 10 years nothing has changed other than every now and then I'll get a burning or stinging or pins and needles sensation in certain areas of my chin & lip from time to time. It's annoying but I've learned to live with it. I'm not sure what happened other than the The mandibular inferior alveolar nerve got severed or stretched or pulled or damaged. Even the orthodontist at the time had no clue what happened nor did the surgeon. I was never told it could be permanent. It became a love/hate procedure while the results of my bite and facial construction looked amazing I honestly don't think it was worth losing the feeling to half of my face. Sometimes I'll get this like surge of tickling sensation through a nerve and I badly want to scratch it only to find I can't locate where the itch was coming from then on days I'll have a dull aching feeling in a nerve. Some days it will pulsate like a heart beat some ticklish some tender to the touch. Some days I feel fine some days in a ton of pain. Some days I feel the wind on my face other days I can't. Some days I scratch my chin or lip and get a rush of the ticlkes followed by a few seconds of pins and needles then back to no feeling. Sometimes I scratch I'll feel a mini orgasm in my chin and lip and the nerves will travel to my nose and other parts of my face and make that area start to itch. Since this operation I'm e extremely sensitive to cold water or things touching my chin or bottom lip. At times it's very painful times its feels nice. It's such a complicated thing to explain. I wish I had a way for my nerve to heal but after 10 going on 11 years I've come to terms I'll end up like this for the rest of my life. I wish I knew how to feel in my jaw teeth lip and chin. If any dentist or doctor or orthodontist or anyone in general is reading this and have any information they can provide to me about anything going on with me please let me know. Also what's the probability this nerve can be healed or saved if at all?
Cheryl Tindwani u need to massage ur face it will stimulate the nerves to wake up

I recently had the same surgery and I’m taking a vitamin b complex and lions mane mushrooms, they help with nerve regeneration. You should be able to get them at your local health food store!
Also take b12 !
Holy... I’m supposed to go for this exact surgery in a few months. Now I’m scared.
u can try acupuncture. I heard they say its very effective. I joined a jaw surgery group to follow up all the patient journey since im planning to get jaw surgery in more two years
I wish I had seen these videos when they came out or sooner. I just had double jaw surgery 1 week ago to fix my underbite and I wonder if someone taught me proper tongue posture when I was young if I could have avoided it. Although the surgery really isnt that horrible anymore with new technologies so its not a huge deal like it was around the time when this video came out
I had physical therapy 20 years ago to improve my tongue position. I couldn't afford the surgery. I still need it. After 20 years I can say that managing my tongue is extremely important but I still need the surgery.
Hello how are u. Do u still feel the same way ?
Mm no my tongue is on top of my mouth 100 percent of the time because I have no room in my jaw and it gives me sleep apnea headaches neck pain shoulder pain, teeth grinding. Sometimes it can be caused from protruding tongue but not always.
Its genetic in my family. It has nothing to do with the tongue. Hopefully you have healed up nicely ❤
'In medicine, it's about treating causes.' I agree this is how it should be; however, the vast majority of doctors only want to give you a bunch of meds, etc., to cover up the symptoms (eg. I had a doc who told me I'd have eczema forever and that I needed to take a steroidal cream to 'deal with it.' I changed things in my diet, and low and behold, my eczema went away). They rarely look into the cause b/c they want you to keep coming back.
what did you change in your diet to treat your eczema?
@@nataliadeja69 I cut out milk and reduced refined sugar intake. Any time I start eating too much sugar, my hands get itchy, so I know I need to cut back.

So calming listening to Mew. He is a true professional. I remember this guy from the incel forum days, he is a true legend.
Life is all about "finding causes" ! ! ! Thanks for another great video.
I've had two surgeries... mainly because I had my first surgery too young. I was 16 and my jaw wasn't fully grown in yet. This caused me to get a second surgery. It's been about 8 years now and I haven't had a relapse *knock on wood*.
doctors just want money
true, I had to get the wisdom teeth ojn the right side of my jaw removed because it started to hurt and infect somehow and he wanted to remove the other ones as well. Went to another dentist and he told me there was no need to remove them as long as theyre not infected or whatever
Lisa ASL ,
Was Dr. Mulick in Agoura Hills your orthdontist by any chance?
Lisa ASL oof I’m 14 and I’m getting jaw surgery 😬
Leafy would do anything
So I agree you should treat the cause when possible, but you don’t do jaw surgery without not being able to change the cause. In my younger years my lower jaw simply did not grow enough, no braces, nothing helped. With the failed treatment enough time had passed for my jaw to not grow anymore. This left me with an overbite of 2,5 cm. I’m sorry but it’s just not functional. I had to tear everything I ate with my mullers, because my front teeth at no point would be together. I don’t regret a thing. I can eat normally, breath normally, close my lips, etc. It was one of the best things I ever did, even though it was only a year ago. It changed my life so much, so don’t be scared away by this. If it would improve your functioning and quality of life, do it if you want to.
thats literally what he said....Do surgery if the goal is to do more than something superficial and to promote forward growth, which is what happened for you.
He is right, I had a bad relapse on my first jaw surgery. I had a forward head posture, tongue on the base of the mouth and constantly pressing against my upper teeth. The work done by the braces and the surgery were all destroyed and I ended up with very bad pain due to having only 2 back teeth contacting when I chew. Had to redo both braces treatment and double jaw surgery by a different surgeon and orthodontist.
@@user-bw8ej4yx4e Yes fortunately. They both did a better job
@@shivamgore9295 Only an orthodontist can tell your that. He knows what he can and cannnot do depending on your case. If he needs a surgery to have a good end result he will know.

Pickle Rick PICKLEEE RICKKKK
Dear Mr Mew, I deeply believe you have put some rather substantial recommendations forward in this video. I closely understand your rationel and strongly agree with your suggestions, however, one question that has surged concerns the extent to which it is possible to further implement "proper tongue posture", "tongue chewing", as well as other methods for facial betterment that you propose after a possible jaw operation has been undertaken. To explicitly tell whether surgery or alternative methods are more effective, it is essential to understand how the face will function differently after a jaw surgery. Especially with the advancements taking place, what real impact does a jaw surgery deliver surrounding "form/shape" and how can this affect the methods you are suggesting?
yup
I regret this surgery, I was happy before it. And it took a cute toll o me, my spirit, my mind and my body. I'm 8 months post surgery and I feel miserable.
I have trouble concentrating. My body isnt the same as it uses to be, and I have constant headed.
Before the surgery I was working on my toungue posture and considered myself atractive and confident.
I'm neither confident, nor feel healthy.
My speech has also changed. Mayne it was because I'm in a stressful environment.
My eyesight has worsen, I look tired and drained. The skin around my face is very lose. And I'm not liking the way I'm healing at all. I look so old now. I hate this. I hate the survey. Before the surgery I was asked to cancel. But I was scared I was going to regret my choice.
I'm so sorry to hear that. How old are you? Did you have the double jaw surgery?
@@anoukc6928 I'm 20 .and yes double jaw surgery, I have a weak chin now, i used to get told I looked 16-17 a week before, now I get mixed up more than twice that age on my bad days...
I feel awful. This destroyed my self esteem
I think your case is rare most of the time double jaw surgery make people look better regardless of the side effects
Hello how are u doing
Thank you , I was trying to think of this for over 12 hours
Don't focus on his looks, focus on his bone structure. It's actually very good.
I have read you can't change the position of the maxcilla when your bones are fully developed
yea for adults i heard it takes longer
it's actually the opposite, since a suture exists for the maxilla and not the mandible
@@ChowMeinChowdown Even this isn't set in stone, I have read medical papers where orthos were able to achieve mandible expansion with a bioblock type appliance.
@@Tammc09 which ones? It's common ortho knowledge that the mandible is set and expansion after full development is more likely teeth tipping. But we still do not know a lot of things like exactly how the mandible grows, so personally I think it is not entirely impossible. But if i were to guess where that growth occurs it would be at the condyle and ramus areas and not the body where the suture has likely fused, especially in older folks.
@@ChowMeinChowdown look up chester s handelman nonsurgical maxillary and concurrent mandibular expansion, I'm unable to locate the one I'd seen with the biobloc, which was from a female Indian ortho. It's not entirely unheard of, but you are right that expansion/remodeling in the condylar area and ramus is much quicker and more reliable. Tbh I lack faith in these methods for cases of recession as bad as mine, given how young this field of study appears to be, I'm saving for bimax with a renowned surgeon who has demonstrated the ability to resolve cases similar to mine.
you're a good man dr. mike mew.
i’ve always had my tongue in the “perfect” position and yet i still have an overbite/ slightly weaker lower jaw... 🤷🏼♀️
get a surgery love!!
I'm watching your video and it doesn't seem like you have a weaker lower jaw. You look really cute actually. I corrected my tongue posture (according to Dr. Mew) 3 days ago and I can already tell that I'm brething much better now. I also started mewing a bit and I can feel the pain of the muscles under my lower jaw, when they work and I love it. If I won't see any results at all I won't be mad though, because my tongue posture is not much better so my breathing is good.
Ma'am if you want a stronger lower jaw I suggest chewing gum more often. As of for the overbite, only surgery can correct it.
Feeling you, i have the same problem and i am really scared to have surgery
PC BEAST Nvidia Did you just not watch the video you dumb fuck
Dr. Mew, I'm 33 and had an orthognatic surgery 4 years ago. Is mewing still gonna work for me? How will that affect my results?
Hey, I'm guessing it's 7 years now. How is everything with the jaw going? Any relapse/complications?
The above
Ficou com alguma sequela?
So surgery is fine as long as it achieves the same goal as Orthotropics.
Jesus that title needs to change.

I’m doing everything you say, like mewing..nose breathing..tongue on roof of palate..from last three months.
Mike I’m 19 , there’s a tooth growing at the back of my mouth.
Is this effect of doing what you say?
Should I worry about it ?
a tooth is a tooth... why would changing your posture have ANYTHING to do with a tooth growing???

Just mew to get Chad jawline br0. Surgery is the only way I've tried mewing for 2 years its cope
Can someone explain what he's saying?
hes saying, kasnkndasfkjndsfjkandfurbinejknfjkdsndskjafnargbadjgkbfjgbdsjbdgfd
same
Angie Schwart he says we can improve our face by changing our tongue position, press your tongue to the roof of your mouth while keeping your mouth closed, breath like this and basically make that position your neutral position, if you do this for a long period of time your face shape would change for good being jaw surgery unnesesary. But at the end he says jaw surgery can be also done if the case needs it. Basically is not to do jaw surgery before had tried to change tongue position. Sorry for my english, it's not my native language but i hope this helps
@@angeramirez25 thank you so much...now I got it!
@@Ram-rp5hg you are welcome 😊
So, what's the perfect tongue position, I need a video or image.
I'm getting MMA surgery next year due to Obstructive sleep apnea.
This doctor has no idea why you SHOULD get these.
At this point of what untreated OSA has done to my body all these years, I'm willing to risk this "unperfected" surgery.
I'm willing to chance a numbed jaw. A worst posture, etc.
He's never had to deal with waking up every single day. Every day. Affecting your personal life. Work life.
When everything else fails like CPAP, the risks are worth it.
How did it go? Did your OSA got better ?
I've had sliding genioplasty in the past, what does it mean for me in terms of mewing and orthotropics in general?
Is the relapse from jaw surgery due to the wrong tongue posture though? I mean intially people who have breathing problems don't have their tongue in the correct place and just naturally have relapsing maxillas.
so basically you are saying that the person after surgery should focus on maintaining proper posture and tongue position?
Getting this surgery, thank god i live in Denmark and dont have to pay anything lol
Whaaat nice, bor også i danmark, er det bare noget man kan få hvis man vil eller hvad
what??? really? damn i'm fucking jealous.
@@goddess-pf9tf I'm in Quebec, Canada, and the jaw surgery is free. Like $0. I'm supposed to get one this year...

Mewing actually really changes the bone postition in adults? I thought bones are fused?
i'm interested in that as well
They are. The change in adults is minimal to non-existent
Who titled this? He was not saying not to have jaw surgery at all! He was advising not to ignore the reason for...IE tongue placement. Why title this, to discourage a helpful procedure? My guess the poster is not a medical professional.. GAL...
Eric Clark it's literally HIS channel. And no he's actually against surgery
The title clearly states "Orthodontist SUGGEST not to have jaw surgery."
ak k HES NOT AGAINST IT, HE JUST THINKS IT SHOULD BE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SEVERE ASTHETIC OR FUNCTIONAL ISSUES AND NOT FOR MOST PEOPLE WHO CAN FIX THEIR ISSUES WITH MEWING OR SOME SORT OF APPLIANCE

I have an underbite (class III). Is it possible for my upper jaw to move forward by starting to place my tongue on my upper palate from now on? How long would it take to get results?
hi i got an class 3 underbite and i was wondering if i get jaw surgery will it affect my hearing because i already have an hole on my left eardrum. so will it affect?
When will I see changes in my maxilla if I’m 15 and if I had a bad tongue posture for my entire life
I am going to consult with a few more orthodontists. A week ago, I went to one, and she told me that, at my age (21 years old) and having done a previous treatment of braces, it may be better to go through surgery to expand maxilla and the mandible, instead of getting a device like a kind of similar to a DNA appliance one. What should I do???, honest and serious answers please, I also wait for your reply Mike, thanks btw
I would go specifically to a "functional orthodontist" vs. a regular orthodontist, and tell them you want to try a device before surgery. You are still young. Unless your circumstances are critical, I would try an appliance/s 1st. It's your money and your choice.
You should try facepulling with a belt.
Just buy a maxzilla expander online, those are way safer than those dentists use. One of those plastic ones, DO make sure its a low allergy one - nickel free. Using chewing gum or even better mastic gum can get your jaw forward half a centimetre more, also gives mike mew jaws.
@@mindfucker8515 where exactly did you find those plastic maxilla expanders online?
I dont know my brother ordered it. there are a dozen of companies in germany or the usa.
Oh c'mon i have been mewing for 4 months and watching mewing videos and fixing my mistakes. However my face hasn't changed at all and i am 15 year old. What should i do?
See a practitioner who can provide you with a biobloc or homeoblock appliance to train you to subconsciously to maintain the rest position: tongue on the roof of the mouth, lips sealed, upper and low teeth lightly touching for 8 hours a day at least.
Still no changes?
I am 16 now lol but no changes in appereance, but even after removing my retainer my teeth have moved only a little bit because i wasn't sealing my mouth shut during sleep so i was mouth breathing. And i am taping my mouth now during the night and we'll see what happens, so mewing comes with a lot of benefits for sure
@@hamtzy6303 bro just do it i was stupid you can't change your appereance in only 4 months and i made some mewing mistakes

so after getting the surgery, should i be mewing or not?
Kotlet Schabowy ?
Kotlet Schabowy what do you mean with „barking“ ?
Mewing is just proper mouth posture you should always be doing it.
I have the option of doing surgery to put the lower jaw back in place and take it back to where it was and then start pushing the teeth forward
I had lower jaw surgery my my surgeon told me he will do it for free I dont know what to do? I look bad now
interesting, altough what i dont get is how you can have surgery done for a different purpose than orthotropics, like, both of them are for either health or asthetics, general improvements, i dont think annyone has jaw surgery done for a reason thats not health or asthetics
I tried mewing since i was 15 now im 20 and i still cant keep my tongue of the roof of my mouth. I know i need the surgery especially because i cant breath with correct tongue posture and my tongue feels too big for my mouth. Additionally people keep calling me ugly.
You might have a collapsed palate like I did. Have you tried tongue chewing?
Dr Mike can I get mandibular advancement for weak chin. I have permanent retainers as well and have started mewing
May i ask how is it going now? Cuz i have the same problem
I have severe obstructive sleep apnea and was told this could be beneficial. I'm too frightened though.
Man I am fucked. I live in Serbia. NO orthotropic treatments here or anything like that.
+K lol thanks for the feelz. Truth is my situation i not that bad. I have small bimax that is not that bad. Im 19 years old i have good jawline good cheekbones but i am a bit unsatisfied with my profile look. Id want my teeth back a few mm and my chin up and forward few mms. Its not worth taking surgeries when my situation would be easily solved with orthotropics :/
***** Im not even ugly I was just made fun out when I was a kid and now I have the need to have perfect teeth etc. Much of my problems would be solved if I wident my arch. But all orthodontist want me to extract teeth when they are not even crooked. Btw no cash for the surgeries. xD
I can help widen your arch. your oral alignment is affected by body fat percentage. working out will change your facial structure.
But many people workout with the wrong exercise selection. If you do it wrongly, you can potentially look uglier! The reverse is true. What most people don't realize is just how much these can affect you. If your interested in changing your oral alignment, shoot me an email at hifikepunye@yahoo.com
I can help you maximize your facial aesthetics. No surgery guaranteed. And you are right, the dentists advocate teeth removal because they don't know better, it's how they are taught!
Brah no offense but his stuff sounds like a scam
+Rainnae Day Sure, email me. If you want faster responses drop your WhatsApp number. Do you workout at all? If you don't then try it and be consistent.

PSA: Listen to this guy! Thank you so much for making these videos. So about 3 years ago I went to my GP and requested jaw surgery because I was extremely uncomfortable with my side profile. I am now preparing for surgery but it was only about 2 months ago I discovered that putting my tongue in the correct position of my mouth massively has improved my posture and looks so much better. It he also changed the way I breath for the better.
Now the only thing I worry about is when I get surgery. Will I maintain the good posture I have achieved by continuing with these habits? Please reply soon as possible
Thanks

What if your 12 yrs old and with a receding chin, with proper tongue posture and keeping my mouth closed can you grow out of the receding chin? Dis is for my cousin btw
X Traps X What do u mean
If myself, a 20 year old can make changes in just a few months, your cousin can do the same in weeks. Just make sure that he has complete suction and his full tongue engaged (alongside lower jaw muscles), otherwise it'll be slow as balls.

I have always breathed through my nose and chewed well, lived healthy, ate good food, and I don't have any issues other than teeth (which were fixed by braces, though I still have a bit of an overbite). My parents don't have a prominent jawline but theirs is much better than mine. I have been distracted and slightly depressed after recently finding out about my jawline, I never really noticed anything like this before, my side profile is very ugly. I don't have any problems breathing, or chewing but I do hear a pop when I fully open my mouth. I just wanted to get this off my chest, I don't know what I should do, like getting surgery or just living with it. But your comment helped alleviate my pain.
Just put your tongue on the position it is when you swallow, otherwise if you try to press your tongue on the roof of your mouth intentionally you'll get tired fast
mewing worked move my maxillar forward after 3 years. It works. It would have worked much quicker if I was doing it correctly the whole time.
@MASTER OOGWAY 🍀 yeah it might get better if you do everything right. Listen to Mike Mews advice on mouth posture and neck posture thats how you make progress. I don't want to explain it because I don't want to explain it incorrectly.
@@erictracey1624 Hello brother I have a solid jaw, good genetic potential and 17 years. Can I have a strong jaw if I do this with chewing gum for an hour or two a day, swallowing properly and holding my neck and body well, and will my jaw be ahead? And I'm just wondering, bro, did your eyes change, did you get "hunter eyes"? I wish you could answer me, thank you! 💪�
That's amazing!!
can mewing fix an underdeveloped jaw?
My tongue has sores from forcing my tongue to the roof of my mouth all week. Hurts a lot. Anyone else?

I'm doing great now guys
I have a crossbite where my upper jaw is smaller (shallower) than the lower one. I don't feel any pain or nothing, maybe some breathing issues for being a mouthbreather then changed it to the nose. I've been to 2 doctors and one says I need to do the surgery and the other one says it's very opitional. Sometimes I get confused if I really need that shit or no
How you changed being a mouth breather since childhood Its hard for me to nose breathe
@@zigsaw7161 buy a nose mask for when you sleep or try tongue chewing with gum, or do both.

@@moreforce2755 says a Guy with A perfect jawline
@@hunar354what you mean?
Guys my problem is that my upper palate is expanded but my lower palate is extremely small...like my upper teeth have widened since I’ve gotten my tounge up on the roof of my mouth but my lower teeth and palate are really really close together and my Lower jaw is like weak too is there any suggestions guys that can help? It would be much appreciated
I would hate to disagree with you, we take the view that the customer is always right but I am stunned to hear that anyone could widen their upper dental arch, but not their lower from Mewing. It does not make logical sense. The teeth should be in or near contact and move in unison. All I can conclude is that you are not doing it right and as you should know if you follow me I rarely ever give out personal advice, with very good reason. M
Orthotropics thank you for you’re reply, you’re right I have been very confused on what exactly I should be doing for a long time. Ik that u don’t give advice out personally but maybe if I could can you tell me what videos can guide me in the right direction please?
I thought the same thing. It's only logical that if you're putting continuous pressure on the maxilla, it will slowly widen. You would have to be putting this same pressure on your mandible as well in order for it to widen in step with your maxilla. From my understanding, mewing seems to focus only on putting pressure on the maxilla (which seemed odd as the lower jaw would soon be out of alignment with the top-perhaps I missed this step??).
Robin S idk man I rested my tounge on the roof of my mouth, breathed through my nose, kept my lips closed, i put a lot of research and time into this stuff and a lot of different websites would say keep ur teeth touching, keep ur teeth barely touching, or make sure ur teeth aren’t touching and that’s what I did was making sure my teeth don’t touch each other so maybe that’s what messed things up...Im probably just gonna set up a oral myofunctional therapy appointment up or something because none of these videos and websites r making sense...my face looks so much worse than what it did before I honestly feel like I’ve screwed up my whole life by doing this like it would be great if they put a warning up on their videos before they start saying hey...”make sure u do this right or it could potentially mess ur face up and be irreversible” sucks man
@@gamesbond1873 I've learned to activate my lower jaw muscles so that they're visibly expanded when mewing. After implementing this i've noticed immediate changes to my jaw shape, so i believe that this may be a step you are missing.
