This channel is part of the International Association of Facial Growth Guidance. A nonprofit organisation which aims to raise awareness of alternative orthodontic methods and ideas, which too few people are informed of.
The main aim of the platform is to precipitate debate on why teeth are crooked. Most people are not aware that (in most cases) the dental profession has little or no idea why the teeth are crooked, or for that matter why children need major surgery. Clearly there are genetic issues, however the science is clear, the weight of quality research papers, in respected peer reviewed journals, show that our modern lifestyle is a more important factor and most importantly we can do something about this.
This is especially important as sleep apnoea, TMD, forward head posture and a most otolaryngology problems are implicated as other symptoms of the same underlying problem.

"Stand up straight and shut your mouth" is great advice for the average person.
😂
Only...he doesn't mean it metaphorically. 😄
Lol
Second one great advice for girlz.. they don’t necessarily have to stand up straight as well; they could bend over.. 😈
ive signed the petition for crooked teeth and donated £5, never stop mike !
I think we all owe the Mew doctors some money
The 5 Points:
1. Stand Up Straight and Shut your Mouth
2. Eat with your Mouth Closed
3. Chew Gum (Single Most Important Factor)
4. Lip Tape at Night (to encourage breathing through your nose)
5. Take Good Records (Side Shots of Face with Artificial Lighting)
How long and what chewing gum do u recommend
I think that not using pacifiers for your babies should be added to this list. I keep a little boy who has developed an open bite and open mouth posture at 2 1/2 because of pacifier use and I can't convince the parents of how bad this is for him. I stay onto him constantly to close his mouth and lips but it's already a habit and even with his mouth closed his lips don't naturally meet because of his open bite. I think pacifiers must also encourage improper tongue posture by getting in the way of where the tongue would naturally rest.
I’m a speech language pathologist and help children with feeding therapy as well. I completely agree and we usually advise parents who already have their children using a bottle and pacifier to get rid of them by 1.5 years old latest. The child’s mouth changes drastically after this age and the pacifier and bottle inhibit natural development of the adult mouth shape.
Any suggestion on correcting an open bite in adult age?
Sucking in general is very bad. Breastfeeding is not actually sucking but a complex mechanical movement that supports jaw development. Same goes for spoon feeding a baby. The circle of puree around the baby's mouth when spoon-fed comes from the baby using the same mechanics as when sucking. Finger food is great not only for preventing problems with the development of the jaw but also for many other reasons.
My family members all had nice straight teeth. But I was the only one NOT BREASTFEED ( my Mom had postpartum depression really bad and was cold and not nurturing towards me. And I think this is probably why I had my plug for 2 years.). So I was the only one in the family with a high narrow palate and crooked teeth.
Perhaps you could read these comments to the parents. And have them see DR. Mew.
absolutely
I will share your knowledge everywhere, thank you dr mew. here in france there is literally no one who does orthotropics sadly. Across the different dentists I had, only one reacted positively when i told him i was using an appliance to expand my palate and get more room for my teeths especially my wisdom teeths. All of the others had a certain arrogant attitude and didn't seem to care whatsoever.
Thankfully i didn't had any extractions, but I almost did after following an orthodontic treatment where at the end he told me i needed to remove all of my wisdom teeths. I will remember this day forever, i was in the pre operative room, waiting, a women than came into the room to tell me that it was my turn. And in that exact moment I had the most pure and sincere intuition I ever had in my life, and it was that I needed to get out as soon as possible of this place and decline the procedure. And that is exactly what I did. I don't know if you believe in intuition but it was so right and pure for me that I couldn''t ignore it. So my message is to always listen to one's self. Oh and i was only 16 when he wanted to extract my wisdom teeths.
I never came back to see this orthodontist, ripped out my bottom permanent retainer, started mewing and expanding my palate while adopting a good posture. Screw these people
Thank you to you and your father, you will be remembered and the good you did will pay off one day. Much love to you
Funny thing. I also had a terrible feeling before pulling out wisdom teeth. Unfortunately I didnt listen and now I really regret... of course, doctors dont care and say I did the right thing... but why I have breathing problems and mouth open at night since then?
It's not easy find a modern-day medical pioneer whose ideas seem this intuitive. I feel the Mew's approach to health should be applied to other branches of medicine as well as expanded upon. It reminds me of professor Lustigs' arguments about the detrimental effects of fructose on the human body. Only time will tell but until then - there's certainly no harm in standing up straight and chewing with your mouth closed.
Also, I was thought to chew with my mouth closed, not keep my mouth open, stand up straight etc. while growing up. It was considered only decent and polite, we didn't know anything about Mew(ing). It could be coincidental but all my teeth are straight, I've always been able to breathe with ease and I grew all four wisdom teeth. Don't take this as medical advice but it is what it is.
@@andarvidavohits4962 every anecdote I have seen seems to support orthotropics. It is not science but it sure is all interesting.
It does. It's called holistic naturopathic medicine
Me: _tries mewing_
Orthodontists: *And I took that personally*
How'd your orthodontist react to you mewing?
I’m glad you’re getting this information. I had issues breathing through my nose and honestly didn’t realize that I was even supposed to breath through my nose until I was about 14. As a result my teeth were absolutely messed up.
These things are something I will definitely be teaching my kids because I was never taught.
It's so fucked isn't it. Such a shame this guy is being put on trail. But it might be a good thing if its in his favour.
I started to mew in June 2021. I do all these things except chewing gum. This absolutely works. I noticed a difference in the first few days with my breathing. I no longer wake up breathless in the night through mouth breathing. Thanks to Jade Joddle for doing a video on this which I happened to watch. A sliding doors moment, I would never had known about it otherwise!
Who is Jade Joddle? Where would i find the video?
@@judyg2341 She's on You Tube. She's done a couple of videos on mewing, here's one of them. ruclips.net/video/IOsF7dnDBRQ/видео.html

She's my reason too
"Stand up straight with your mouth shut" Dr Jordan Mewson
Use a Neti-pot or other saline sinus rinse to clear the nasal passage way. This was one thing not mentioned here but should be part of everyone's toolkit.
The price of crooked teeth, both financially and socially, is much greater than following these points. Thank you!
Breastfeed babies. Make sure allergies aren’t clogging the sinuses. No pacifiers. I’ve seen amazing photos of teeth straightening and attaining proper formation from overjet in young teens with a practitioner in Denver, due to tongue exercises.
Thank you so much for all you do. I have a 2 year old daughter. I’m going to breastfeed her till she’s 4 and then start chewing gum. Right now she has 16 beautiful teeth that are straight with space in between. She has a beautiful healthy face and I will work to keep it that way with this information. Thanks!!
I don't think you should give her chewing gum. give her tough natural food instead like carrots, coconut, etc..
Give her naturally hard things, not too hard like peeling sugarcane from teeth. But hard as in eating very-very soft roasted corn from teeth and chewing properly
A 2 year old shouldn’t have space between their incisors
My eldest was given a set of braces. My family heritage has never needed braces, nor his fathers. I said no but he wanted it. My worry was all the metal in his mouth as conductivity especially wifi mobile phones and laptops etc. I mention this as correlation between underwired bras containing metal and it being conductive and causing breast cancer.
My younger daughter now 11 has already been told she needs a brace asap. It seems like the dental business is down for handing out braces nowadays left right and centre.
I stand with you and have just come across your channel yesterday...why all this long I do not know...maybe you tube algorithm has changed and allowing truth warriors like yourself to be allowed to be seen!!!
In a era of enormous childrens vaccination schedules and mobile phones emitting emf radiation and absolutely agree dietary changes incl environmental especially with lockdowns etc all these factors absolutely essentially need to be taken into account and us parents need to stand with you.
I have first hand experience of this with the dental system and the system in general being blamed for breastfeeding my children and its so called causative factor in my childs teeth. Thats a whole chatshow on its own needless.to say I raised this with the London hospital team and I hope the new recruits were open to listening and making changes.
I am interested in the gum you mentioned. If you do read this comment I would bery much like to know its name to purchase in the UK for my children.
Thank you for all you do. A supportive new subscriber family 🙏🏼
Alice I'm afraid you ARE in wonderland. The evidence for mewing is there but the evidence for WiFi signals through the brain does NOT exist.

At our Tongue-Tie clinic we see these babies struggling to feed from the breast because they CANNOT create vacuum because of the tongue tie... the authorities try to stop us because they think it's a fad.... A courageous dentist started this tongue tie clinic( Groningen, The Netherlands) I'm a RN and lactation consultant IBCLC. I really love your work.
This knowledge and informations you are spreading with your channel are just pure gold!!! I have subscribed since we were just a small community, and had no idea this could change my life for the better, as it did. Thank you dr. Mew 🙏❤️
Excellent, free lesson for parents that no one else will tell u. Thx a lot!
This is exactly what parents need to know for their kids
Lol your jawline gets sharper and sharper time I see it, sir.
Fabulous video with valuable information! Thank you Dr Mike Mew! I wish you and your team the best in this amazing challenge.
I stopped chewing gum some years ago, because they gave me gas (the bubbles that formed in saliva, not the gum itself)and it helped massively, but my jaw health has deprivated, and I haven’t linked the two until now…
They don't want a debate with you for very simple reasons. If you win, the orthodontic industry, its affiliates and businesses could potentially be in jeopardy. A lot of money would be lost.
I've trained myself to fall asleep with my mouth closed and it stays closed.
Keep putting out this information please!!
The profiles you show are beautiful.
Thank you for everything you do, we appreciate it more then you can imagine!
We can study our living genetic ancestors' mouth development from the environment in the form of African Tribesmen, most (if not all) of them have perfect teeth and no breathing problems, and they have been in one primary location for thousands of years reproducing with a closely knit group basically living the exact same lifestyle for thousands of years.
Dr Mew you are unique! I am glad I came across your path in this wide cosmos ! By the way we Arabs use a natural gum gained from a tree called Arabic gum I use it almost every day and its a bit hard, slightly bitter but soon after it becomes refreshing and it helps stopping tooth decay as well !
This is so spot on! Thanks for these valueable content. I am grateful. I will donate from gofundme. I was always asking why but never got an answer neither for me nor my son. We will start by today!
Thank you Mike, you are a true hero.
Thank you for all your efforts, time, and money put into this research.
I can completely relate to your theory as someone who has experienced this. I always wonder what causes crooked teeth, and now I can say that I have the answer to it because all five reasons you mentioned in the video are fair.
I had sleep apnea and was doing exactly the opposite of what you just explained in the video. However, from now on, I will try my best to use this technique to improve the jawline, although the crooked teeth cannot be undone and braces are the only option now.
Keep up the good work, and I would definitely sign your "Prevnet Crocked Teeth" Petition. I would also love to see more research on this topic and the ideas and research you have presented and come up with.
Best of luck!
Thank you for these tips😊
What kind of chewing gum are you using? Do you have a link?
Regards
I chew gum too since 3 months. Very effective. I also did weightloss. From 95 kg to 83 kg. Very effective at improving my quality of life. I shall try lip taping too to see what effect it could have.
Is this different from tongue chewing?
I sucked my thumb from when i was born to 18 yrs old unfortunately. The orthodontist told my parents that i would have to have my jaw dislocated and reset along with braces to correct my bite. I Started hard mewing February 2023. Now its October 2023. The first thing i noticed was a little pain around the front of my teeth because i guess my lips was putting my teeth back into place. Then the facial bone right under my nose (maxilla) was very tender to the touch from my tongue being on the roof of my mouth as-well as the posterior third.
I found a few of my upper incisors being tender and over a few months, moving and looking much better than before. I no longer get slight pains in the wisdom tooth area since starting. My lips close by themselves now and i don’t need to force them together like before. My eye bags aren’t as noticeable as before but its still going to take time to get more results. I no longer snore like before since beginning. I get enough air through my nose and no longer have fuzziness when trying to remember things as before.
Listen, i know you’ll see a bunch of videos saying you can get a super jawn line in a month or so and i could be true for some people but don’t expect it to be right away. This stuff takes time. Im 27 as of writing this. Also, yes you can see results but not overnight. I forced myself to change because thats what i wanted for my life. If you want it bad enough you will go the distance. Mewing is hard people just make small things like this hard for themselves.
How did you hard mew I want know thanks
You're a blessing. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this video! Do you recommend chewing with your incisors as well if they're crooked or should you only do one-sided chewing?
I'm not an expert, but one thing that would be missing is tearing hard meat with the front teeth, because with the gum we only train the side teeth
youre a good man Mike
Lots of crossover here with the James Nestor NTY Bestseller "Breath"!
I think you should reach out to James and this is how you can gain a very large amount of assistance and influence with all the difficulty that is going on.
Hey mike. I have been Mewing for probably a couple months or so. I don't always maintain it like I'd wish, but I've tried to make a habit of it. Over the last month or so, I noticed the muscles around my chin started to hurt a little bit. I was wondering why, I looked at myself in the mirror and wow I noticed my chin is much sharper now. My jaw looks like it still could use some work, I'm sure that will come over time, but so far,
Mewing is legit!
Dr. Mew, do you have a recommendation for lip tape that isn't toxic? I've tried several brands and while some are good, they contain toxic ingredients and that concerns me with longterm use. Thank you so much for your guidance, wisdom and perseverance!
Great work
Great video. Thanks for the info : )
what if i had crooked teeth and it has effected my lower jaw im 25... cani fix now without taking them and extending jaw size to make there place?
A question about mouth taping: If a person sleeps with his mouth open most of the duration of his sleep, would it be safe to tape the mouth completely closed in terms of breathing? Could this person still breathe and sleep normally, or would it cause him to wake-up often during the night?
Thank you for everything.
You can try the "myotape" in the daytime first. Patrick McKeown invented it and I have used the "lip sticker" which allows one to open the lips if necessary during sleep. It's what I recommend for kids.
@@dfcong Thank you!
Look out for which pillow you use, if you sleep on your back (front body facing the roof) and using incompatibly high pillow, then it may force your mouth open, for you won't get sufficient air from nose
@@titfortatt-regionalist Thank you for your answer, although the pillow is not particularly tall.
@@thegainsayerstalker you can put a folded blank sheet or something to check out how much height is suitable for your pillow. Sleeping on left side is good, for it is considered for a good sleep, but it eventually gives you an imbalanced face. For that matter, a imbalanced strong hand, chest or back (eg. One side is stronger than other) can also cause facial imbalances in long term because those muscles eventually connect with your face and give you facial imbalance. Surya Namaskara can fix such imbalance issue, given you do it first thing in the morning empty stomach
Thank you!
I feel that my teeth and jaw are always slightly vibrating, if I close my jaw and mouth I could feel the tension of my nerve holding them together, which makes me believe why my teeth will slightly shift and go crook over them, and the also the cause of my headache
Try not to clench
Nice keep up please
How long should you chew gum? Is it 1, 2 hours after a meal? Or shorter/ longer?
I have a question: I seem like the back part of my tongue is linked to my breathing. Everytime I breathe, the tongue goes down a little bit. The only way to keep it there is to hold my breath. How do I manage this?
Same
When you swallow your airways naturally close. You might be overdoing it. You might be confusing the epiglottis with the back of your tongue.
I would say. Put the front of your tongue up, and just keep that up. Hopefully if you're young enough you'll soon achieve more forward growth and then you might find it easier to lave your tongue in a comfortable position. If you're you're very young, hopefully this works too, if not, I'm sorry but I have no idea. But definitely keep your tongue up even if it's just the front 2/3
You and your father are doing wonderful work 👊🏼

The Mike Mentzer of jawbuilding
My question is what does he advise for adults aged 40 and over where mewing will not be enough to expand the arches and straighten the teeth? It seems that at that age there are no other way but extraction and braces?
MSE maybe
Maybe Palate expanders and hard mewing.
Yes, MSE and palate expanders are a possibility but I wish he would do a video on the topic to clarify.....
That is not true research has shown that a Biobloc Stage 1 will widen the upper jaw of adults with no discomfort, surgery or screws in the bone an average of 7 millimetres with less that 4 degrees of tilting. Prof John Mew.
@@johnmew9980 that is fantastic! Can you please do a video on this? Is it safe for teeth, will it expand the lower arch automatically? (Will it follow the upper arch as it does for kids) do you need braces with it at the same time etc.
I would add - study German New Medicine - and avoid conflicts that cause cavities.
What if you only have one crooked tooth?

Im already 20 and now I discover Dr Mew. Can I still fix my teeth?
Yes!
you need more strength in the chin specifically as you need muscles to wishbone or pull apart both sides of the chin mewing is incomplete especially as most people already are cheekbone heavy. the part of the maxilla that you see rests on the chin
Could you explain what your saying in more depth? I'm interested but I dont quite understand what your saying.
it's inchewetive..
You have to take care of your teeth and clean them properly . Basics but if you loose your teeth. No diet or mewing will have an effect
should people with narrower palates attempt the 5 point rule?
If you’re an adult its over.
Go get palate expanders and hard mew.

Do these work on adults too? I live in the US where natural methods like this are illegal, so I never heard of this until 40+ years later. You should team up with your mortal enemy-the Chiropractor. It's very compatible with what you seem to advocate.
Can you please make a video about the place of orthotripics in the lives of those 30+? You only talk about kids & I've watched your other videos talking about adults and it's quite vague.

For all mouth-breathers, you should reconsider your eating habits! All dairy products creating mucus in your sinuses and that forces you to mouth-breathing.
Why is it that I had braces and I sometimes motuhbreathed but my face didn’t get recessed. I would have no problem admitting I’m recessed but compared to my friends who didn’t even need braces my face is more forward
I'm 16 too late?
Why don't speak about chosing hard foods and avoid soft foods ? Isn't it an important factor of prevention ?
It sounds like your practice may be akin to chiropractic in the USA compared to traditional treatments. So a "chiropractic" form of dental.
I would imagine encouraging chewing gum, should be done with their mouth closed?? People who also chew gum can be sloppy and noisy?? Is that correct?
Other orthodontist think that teeth are to big, he thinks that jaws are to small.
Tape is seen unacceptable by modern standards. How else can we make the baby nose breathe at sleep? Harder pillow maybe?
i recently discovered mewing about 4 months ago and i have a problem.. u see my teeth is so crooked that i have a teeth on the roof of my mouth( upper right premolar) and it gets in the way whenever i mew by moving my tongue to the left a little bit and im scared that will make my face unproportional pls help
Can a kid chew this hard gum with braces on? Or should they wait until they are off? My concerns are that the roots of the teeth may be impaired, of that the braces will fall off.
I don't know whether people have come up with this experience. I have slight midline discrepancy and a small deepbite. I've been doing mewing occasionally for years. When ever I push my tongue against the palatte and spread the chewing gum for 10 minutes and put my mouth idle and when I try to chew something after that, I'm getting clicks and pops from my jaw.
Is doing mewing with Deep bite and midline discrepancy cause a disaster
Can you fix maxillary cant with mewing alone over time
