Dr Mike Mew: providing hope instead of cope
He could so use that.
That's nice
but it barely works... really not hope, just more stress and self hate
@@ryderwilson7955 no he learns tongue posture, its a habit everyone should have just like lifting with a straight back
Scope
Mike Mew should be awarded a nobel prize for his work. I'm dead serious about it. He deserves more recognition.
Agreed
He’s one of the harshly treated geniuses. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves in his life.
his father is the one that created orthotropics. and a nobel prize has no value, the fact obama got one should say something.
@@zvezdan956 Exactly! well said.
Not just his work though, his father started it. But yes they deserve recognition.
Don't forget to do the chin tuck (pull your head back).
I'm 36 years old.
The first 6 months of tongue on the top palate didn't do a lot. When I realised I had to pull my head back at the same time as having the tongue up, I could instantly feel the pressure on my maxilla, and sometimes on the jaw.
Significant changes have occurred in the few months since.
Legend. I feel it to now.
But when i pull my head back my throat starts hurting... how do i correct this ?
@@eren8279 what I feel is, it´s dificult to swalow, I think you have to do it progresibly while every thing is adjusting to a good position
Thx, to your advice, now likely I got it
@@eren8279 You're recessed that's why. I have a similar situation. It means your lower jaw is pushed back into your throat. You're gonna need lower jaw surgery or an alf/dna appliance
Wish there was more people like him when I was a kid.I have developed ugly narrow face and biggest underbite ever because I was breathing throught my mouth.
Me too. I'm so over it.
That plus very very bad posture from playing video games 16 hours a day.
.... Which CAN change!! YAYA Good news! :) If you've not mewing, then what are you doing? ♥
same. i even had a bridge widener as a child with a ton of braces/headgear/etc...never REALIZED it was because Im a mouth breather. FML. now i'm 31 and long faced af

thanks once again for sharing doctor Mike, it's a relief to know adults have the opportunity to benefit from this kind of treatment as well as kids do.
Dr. Mike & Dr. John = angels without wings
I find the same results as Mike Mew, almost all adults expand with no difficulty, as long as the rate is appropriate.
Ed L wow cool. what about the cheek and chin? i want them growwing forward
Cheek bones (Zygomatic arches) remodel also and become more visible, especially if you are developing the upper arch forward at the same time you expand. There are several ways to accomplish this, the key is keeping the force levels very light. As far as growing the chin forward, that's not what happens, you can translate and reposition the entire lower jaw forward by remodeling that mainly occurs at the jaw joints. You effectively bring the chin forward in this manner. Sometimes you need to reposition the lower teeth to maximize the esthetic effect for the chin.
Ed L I learned the hard way that right rate of expanding is appropriate.
I have abnormal growth and teeth crowding, but its better now, one tooth is half way out. Unfortunately I wasn't following my orthodontist suggestion and rotated with key not only one milimeter a week but sometimes 2 and now it broke.
I'm 18 so kids listen to older people and respect them!
Ed L so how could someone remodel there or jaw joints to move their chin or lower jaw forward
Ed L ^ please
I wish you were my orthodontist
These are comments that I receive too frequently, please ask your orthodontist to watch some of these vidoes, if he come back with the comment that they are not evidence based then please tell him that this is not true and we would be happy to engage with him and discuss this. This is your health and he is responsible for this so should engage with us. #mikemew
@@Orthotropics Yes so much more orthodontists should be properly educated and only practice orthodontics that is good for health. Right now it's so rare, I can't even find one in my country (The Netherlands) who can expand my maxilla non surgically for example.
@@kittendivine1 Er is 1 in België "respire dental" in Melle vlakbij Gent. In Nederland zijn er enkele..."wijs met je neus" en als je in Google zoekt op holistische orthodontist vind je volgens mij nog een paar. Er is slechts 1 praktijk die met bioblocs werkt....Ik ben 37 jaar en ik ga binnenkort op consult bij een kaakchirurg die beweert dat buitenbeugels apneu kunnen veroorzaken, ik denk puur voor de erkenning. Sinds de buitenboordbeugel behandeling heb ik zoveel klachten..grillig slaappatroon, insomnia, depressies, last van mijn nek en rug, migraine aanvallen. Uiterlijk: long face syndrome, afgeplatte jukbeenderen, terugliggende kin.
@@fadjeja3141 Yes I know 'Wijs met je neus'. I didn't like their proposed treatment plan though: acrylic plate for the top dental arch and lower arch should follow naturally. I don't believe that. Also, they wanted to use the Myobrace to straighten the teeth and upright the lower molars. I don't believe that works either, especially not uprighting the molars, it's supersoft on the sides!
Also, I want maxilla expansion. Mind you, maxilla expansion includes palatal expansion, but not all palatal expansion causes maxilla expansion! Or very little.
Thanks for the tips. I will look op 'respire dental'. Which one works with biobloc just out of curiosity? And which jaw surgeon are you going to? I really want MARPE/MSE or SARPE. I just found out yesterday that they do MARPE in Radboud UMC Nijmegen! www.orthodontics.nl/userdata/document/Pati%C3%ABntinfo%20MARPE.pdf
'Sterkte!' Yes I surely believe headgear can cause harm. Unfortunately the dots are not being connected and so many things are seen as 'normal', because they are so common. But common doesn't mean healthy! Did you have a sleep study yet?
PS: I almost went to www.orthoeuregio.nl in Enschede/Hengelo. But it's too far for me to go there every month and from my understanding SARPE/MARPE/MSE are most effective for maxilla expansion. I'm not sure what they use there, but I don't think they do MARPE and the nearest MSE is in France. They said they sometimes have patients combine the treatment with surgery, so that makes it SARPE. But only in very narrow arches I think, maybe if you just prefer it, idk. The surgery is called buccal osteotomy. That's the one I see on a lot of Dutch jaw surgeon websites. I wouldn't want that one, because it makes so many cuts, that only a part of the maxilla is moving and not the whole maxilla+cheekbones.
Appreciate your work Mr Mike. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! You have just answered multiple of my questions that had been boggling me for a while!
I do have a wise orthodontist, though he wasn't as good as you at seeing through what is possible with skeletal expansion, and thinks that I should get checked by a jaw surgen even though I'm in between greater chance of dental expansion and greater chance at skeletal expansion (according to my age).
He has decided that he won't put them on, even though I know with a gut feeling that I will have a successful skeletal-expansion with expanders, even though my upper jaw will be a little more sore.
You've got a lot of insight, and you have ways of proving things many are too cautious or afraid to do. And even adjust and fix what problems you may have caused, but it made it easier for you to do so. Since many orthdodontists like to adjust patients' teeths in a way that makes it easier for them to operate on. In your way, it actually brings benefit and decreases time and money for your patients whilsts also granting you higher payment and success.
You're obviously very smart with a lot of experience. Props to you! ^^
Any updates? Thanks
i had a tad assisted expander at age 24, i'm 25 now and had no problems with my palatal expansion treatment. my orthodontist told me there was always a chance it wouldn't work because of my age and they had only done this treatment on 17-19 year olds, but they felt that at 24 it wasn't worth denying me the option of trying conservatively rather than opting out for full blown double jaw surgery. I am forever grateful for this option because after 5 months with my expander i am now moving on to braces and there is a very VERY small chance i will need the jaw surgery they were talking about at my consultation. My case is relatively mild to some. I had a sever cross bite, but my teeth were always pretty straight so i could only imagine that if someone had both teeth problems and bite problems it could result in a different treatment. however, if jaw surgery is your "only option" i'd always try and find an ortho who is willing to do something like an adult expander and see what they have to say.
What expander did you use?
@@ellenanortje3707 How is the surgery? Is it worth it? Aesthetically, does it look better?
Thanks for commenting this, I have a cross but straight teeth but I never wanted to get surgery cause it seems too risky IMO. Nice to know others have had success with other options 😊
Just noticed your comment was from 5 years ago. What has happened since then? Did you get the surgery or no? How are your teeth, bite, alignment, etc?
Some updates ? 😊
Thanks, Mike. This is so good to know. Epic results...keep up the great work!
I'm 19 and I did a rapid palatal expansion and it worked miraculously. The gap between my teeth was enough to fit a French fry in between lol. Looked very funny but now it's almost closed. My breathing is so much easier I always had a blocked nose but now I can finally breathe freely. I see a slight difference in my cheekbones (more defined) and the bridge of my nose is a bit broader..
What is rapid palatal expansion?
Could you give an update?
how did you do it? I'm 20 and my palate is so narrow I never smile :(
how much time was it for the gap to close?
how did you make the gap close?

Yaay this gives me hope for my face! Thank you, still saving up im 28 with a very narrow palate that went unfixed.... 🤞🏻🤞🏻. This video makes me want to have it done by you. Thanks again!
Can you share your results. I'am 28 years too. I 'am beginning right now. What's happened to your jawline and check bons and your mouth ?
How did it go? Did you do it?
Dr. Mike Mew, what are your thoughts on the MSE (Maxillary Skeletal Expander) + Facemask guiding very strong forward facial growth?
I didn’t realize this is what my daughters orthodontist was doing ten years ago. We had to drive an hour to him. The few local dentists all wanted to pull teeth and he did not. I refused to have perfectly healthy teeth pulled. So we chose him.inconvenience or not. She has such a beautiful smile now. It is now making sense listening to all of this mewing info. I’m 57 and had a tooth break. Right before quarantine. I alway felt like my bite was off..my old dentist let the techs do it :( ....and suddenly my bite is improved, my TMJ of 30 years is going away. Because of the quarantine and the dentist being closed, I had to wear tooth appliance longer until I could get the implant. I am witnessing so many changes which has now brought me here learning.
Which appliance are you using?
What is the tech?
Can you tell us what the tooth appliance you used pls?
Sir uour daughter is so lucky to have a father like you. So many of my siblings, as well as I, were so happy as children only to grow up with many different kinds of health and even mental problems. Upon reflection, I believe that almost all of our problems can be traced ultimately to the orthodontic treatment we recieved. It makes me happy to hear that you felt that there was something wrong with the treatment recommended for your daughter and that you decided to follow your gut.
I was a mouth-breather as a kid and would get sore throats all the time. My doctors and parents decided it would be best to remove my tonsils, adenoids and wisdom teeth. Now I no longer have the vital tissues responsible for trapping and clearing out pathogens. All they had to do was tell me to breathe through my nose...but there's no money in that.
Same here my friend. Tonsils, adenoids and all wisdom are all gone. If only the internet was available 30 plus years ago.
Should you nor have your adenoids out?
@@fourleaf8055 Not if it can be helped. I’m at least 99% certain my chronic sinusitis is due to the removal of my adenoids. Plus I’m more susceptible to upper respiratory tract infections and COPD now. Life isn’t going to be fun when I get to old age.
Your parents and doctors actively helped you made you mouth breath even more after a that. I’m so sorry for you
Me too
I had a painful molar that stopped me from chewing on one side of my mouth for over a year, and when I went to the dentist recently I found out I now have an open bite. My mouth can't close anymore! The dentist had no explanation, but after seeing this video I realize it's because I wasn't chewing on that side for so long.
See I have the samething but my space was caused from eating on the side that I now have the space on due to having a bone graft on the opposite side. So I think my solution is to chew on the side opposite of the space. My teeth look exactly like the picture above and it pisses me off
So how did you fix your open bite
I'm 37 and I have done this for 4 weeks and it's already a difference.
You did mewing ?
No shit
What kind of change man? Been like 3 days for me, can't feel my palate has more room
Mewing takes months not like 2 days
Good to know my orthodontist mentioned it but then I started researching and evehtbint is saying adults it doesn’t work. I’ve got high canines too and he mentioned pulling them. But that worries me because I have some very back teeth missing (from cavities when I did not have insurance before) and I’m worried about losing more teeth.
Wow, just today I was feeling very down, feeling like I was too late to fix the damage done by mouth breathing through my adolescence. I was thinking why bother mewing if no changes can be made? Why am I suffering trying to breathe through a deviated septum? Thank you Dr. Mew for giving hope that it still can be fixed, with dedication on my part, might not be overnight, but I can and would rather be better a year from now if even only slightly.
I feel you I have a deviated septum and narrow, high arched palate too
So how is your face now ?Any updates?
VeldroN slight slight difference, nothing to write home about more my jawline is a bit better but I think it will take some hard mewing or much more time to see any difference in forward facial growth.
@@TheEMAFU hi, were You mewing everyday for a year??
@Mxrsh ❶ yes and a really good jaw
The big question always arising when I think of removable appliances AND adults: TMJ problems? I would greatly appreciate TMJ coverage/mentioning.
Right now I am using something similar for my TMJ, I see little reduction in my headaches etc etc
this Dr. is awesome! I so wish with all my heart I could afford this! I would love to be happy with my smile and stop biteing my tongue so much!
Wow!
Dr. Mew, you
are brilliant!
I have started mewing + chewing hard gum for 4 months now! I feel like girls hit me up more now and start convos with me (i was always good looking just didnt had that crazy jawline cause of mouth breathing)! Also a girl that showed me from the past told me i had changed (looking better).I dont know if its a placebo but i feel like my jaw has become more square,defined and my maxilla has widen! I am 24 by the way, still i need a lot of work to keep the good tongue posture 24/7 but i will make it a daily habit!
I mouth breathed until I discovered meeting at 33. I’m 35 now. It’s just sad looking back at all my breathing problems and facial development problems that has cause premature aging and losing ability to attract a female
If that’s you in your pfp I think you’re pretty handsome! I’m surprised you don’t attract girls
@@jaylin4356 ya, I legitimately haven’t had sex since 2015
Dude, you can still attract women without a perfect jawline. At 35, you're in your prime.
I bet youd start calling them women - insread of females - could lead you to better interactions with the opposite sex
Just saying
Mike, you are a saint. I so admire you and your father. Thank you sir.
I wish I would have heard this information 14 years ago. I had straight teeth and a beautiful smile my only issue was a posterior crossbite on both right and left that put me in an overjet. I was wearing down my cuspid and the bottom bilateral on the left side. The orthodontist told me because I was past the age of 20 (I was 24) he couldn't fix my bite unless he extracted 4 teeth. I didn't want to have 4 healthy teeth taken out. He also told me I could go to surgeon and have my palate "cracked" and I could get a expander but discouraged me from it by staying I would have nerve damage. Being naive I went with the extractions and have regretted it everyday of my life since I had the braces removed. I started having pain and facial disfiguration issues 1 year into braces and when.I would tell him he would tell me it was normal or would go away. After I would have the braces removed. I had to request the braces to be removed because after 2 years I can no longer take the excruciating pain. I can no longer sleep my tongue did not fit in my mouth and I was having a lot of facial muscle spasms. It was a nightmare end the worst thing that could have happened to my life. I was a young attractive woman with a beautiful smile which was ruined. I waited 14 years to get out of pain on my own because my teeth eventually started to move back and the space is starting opening which relieve my pain. Now I have to go back into braces for another 18 months to reverse with that original orthodontist did.
that's unfortunate to hear, i hear number of ppl who said braces ruined their smile and other said it helped so i guess it works both ways?? and do you recommend me to use braces or just try mewing
@@batista666bomb I'm not opposed to people getting braces but I am opposed to teeth extraction. Knowing what I know now I tell friends and people getting braces to do their research and get multiple opinions. I tell them about DAMON braces as the orthodontist that use them avoid extractions and focus not only on straight teeth but they take your face into account.
@Shristian Dunn I have narrow jaws, I got removed my premolar on the right side when I was a teenager by the dentist. Back then nobody knew what was that orthodontist where I am from. So she did it just like that, pulled it out. There was literally no space for this tooth and it had turned out into another color, it looked weird. After maybe a decade the same dentist was insisting on conventional braces on me, as in your case she wanted to remove more teeth. I did not agree of course, because she was a dentist. Then I started doing research on the net and found Damon braces. It took me a lot of time to save t the money needed for them :) Now it's been 10 months with Damon. But there is one little problem - I will never have centered bite from the middle (midline centring) because of this mistake, unless I agree on an implant. Which I don't want to but don't know what can happen to my jaw bones if I live like this; I need to research again.
All of this was to say that I can relate to how you feel....But so happy that you found Damon method which I think is way better than the conventional ones especially for people with really really narrow jaws! And my ortho gave me FACE FORMER by Dr Brendsen for the tongue! You can search it on youtube!!! Wish you all the best with this adventure and hope that all of us have healthy jaws bones teeth and smile at the end :)
@Black Pill They are ignorant rather than evil. They believe what they read in texts books, so they could pass exams, there is no prerequisite for medical professionals to be wise or particularly intelligent. So, they stick, dogmatically, to what they learned in college because they aren't smart/confident/wise enough to learn anything new for themselves, and many of them are too busy pretending that they are cleverer than everyone who isn't a medical professional. Many of them are actually insecure as hell because they know that they haven't really changed much since they were a spotty teen at college.
People like the Mews, ie. competent and genuinely clever and caring, scare the crap out of them, which is why they are so aggressive.
Wow do you mind updating on how the reversal goes? I am in the same boat right now! My TMJ got worse with extractions :(
Thank you Dr. Mike, I found you just in time before I was to remove my wisdom teeth!
Thank you for the valuable Information!
It all sounds very logical and natural but there Is little Information about lower jaw expansion.I've read that It's not possible but I don't believe that.
Perhaps the forces applied to the palate by the tongue can transfer through the closed mouth via the teeth and promote expansion In the lower jaw also.Rapid expanders would just push the teeth outwards but this method Is slow and that's what makes bone remodelling seem plausible.
I'm 46 and currently have upper and lower fixed expanders plus braces & elastics to fix a narrow palate, crowding and a severe open bite. I started July 2022 with upper expander, with top braces added in March 2023, then lower expander & braces added in April 2023. There's been a huge difference so far! Approximately 8mm expansion on the upper, less so far on the bottom as the expander has only been in about 2 months, but it's working, I can see the space emerging. And the elastics have closed my open bite drastically.
It's possible, people!
Are you using a MARPE expander? Just curious what type of expander you're using.
@@joashmathew7454 I have ALF (Advanced Lightweight Functional) expanders, they are adjusted every 4 weeks

Well yes, it is possible and I have acheived this over the last year and a half. Mind you, I wasn't even correctly mewing during this time until very recently
8 years later and just started, wish me luck, Thanks Doc!
Update
Bro?
BASED MEW
Bro I never wanted to go to the U.K before. Wish we had doctors like you here in Florida.
Same! I’m in Florida too and I’m researching everywhere to find adult palate expansion. Most places tell me they don’t treat adults.
It’s become quite clear that average individuals have been forced to educate themselves above the current level of orthodontists on this topic.
and you knwo the huge problem it creates... you then start asking questions to orthos, they get mad about and start discounting you, cause it hurts their ego
I've had clicking in my jaw joints for about a month, with not much pain. I have a bit of a cross bite but I managed to achieve decent tongue posture. Only thing is, when I protrude my jaw using my pterygoids, my jaw pops.
I know that this is due to the fact that my condyles sit too far back in the glenoid fossa when I have full occlusion (probably due to mouth breathing growing up). Swallowing feels great, my teeth align like never before, and I don't feel pain, but I can tell that my TMJ discs are anteriorly displaced. Will my jaw joint conform to this new postural change overtime? Or am I exacerbating my TMD by holding my tongue in this position?
Hi, any updates?
I'm 31 and almost at 9mm of expansion so far with a haas expander. My breathing is better and my face has already changed along with my bite of course.. We will stop at about 10mm probably.. I'm so ready to get this thing out. Been doing one turn every 3 days.
Can I have your dentist info. I’m looking for one, I’m in the us
How fast did you expand and what appliance did you use.
If your in the UK can you provide a reference
How long did you wear it for? Total? 24 days? And you can actually see a difference? Is there are chance that they will revert after?
Did your cheek bones become more prominent? Or did you mostly just see changes in your teeth? Very curious because I really want skeletal changes
What I don't get is that it looks like that these expanders just push the teeth outward. It seems like this tool would have it's affect on the easiest path which would probably be to push or tip the teeth outwards vs. cracking the bone on the top of the palate so that it expands.
The screws on my expander on the one side bent but I did get some expansion, this stuff is all worth it but definitely some pain behind it.
What was ur age?
I’m 55. One doctor says it can be done (with the expander that screws into the roof, another dentist says I’m too old.
I am a 56 year old female from NE Ohio who went from a narrow upper palate and severe overbite and inferior placed mandible to being in my final stage of correction: I had upper palate expansion in year one, followed by the wearing of a Twin block appliance in year two to correct my mandible placement and now in my final stage with braces. All without surgery. I'm proof it can be done!
yay sounds awesome

Dr. Mew - I will be turning 60 this year - I've been pressing my tongue to the roof of my mouth for w few weeks/months now - I often feel my Maxil bone being effected - but not in a hurtful or painful way - just simply sort-of expanding.
I am very hopeful that it will eventually help my teeth, jaw, and bone-structure; which I believe is out-of-sync somehow... It's difficult for me to explain.
Anyway - I wanted to contact you about my situation.
I don't know if an apparatus would help me... But if it Would - I wish I had one - and with your oversight of course.

I am 65 year old women and getting an expander this month. Hope it works.
How is it going? I'm 59, and hopeful.
Hi everyone! Quick question here. What happens if you just leave it and don’t correct your crossbite with expanders or even surgery?
28y, no symptoms, but being recommended to correct the crossbite with an expander and fixed appliances after.
How did that go?
Love this guys and this channel. Shame just a consultation alone is £400 😥😥😥😥
Holly smokes! Outrageous pricing ..
Shame
Honestly most of his teachings are free and on the web and natural facial alignment and symmetry would be worth 10 plastic surgeries so i’d say he’s more than justified in charging that

i remember widening my palate when i was a kid
i cried my eyes out, it felt like my cranium was splitting in two
but thank god i did that
i need to do it again
Why again
How did you do it😭
@@iamkindofconfused a device is usually but on the roof of the mouth
why you need again? It come back?
If I mew, and my palate expands, would it cause gaps in my teeth if I've had 2 teeth bottom and top removed and closed with braces in the past?
You got an answer?
Hello Dr. Mew,
What kind of an appliance do you use to expand the palate in adults.
Best regards,
Andrej 🙂
Been hard mewing for a month after soft mewing for a year.
And now i can feel a split in my palate
damn
how old are you
I am 24 years old. I had a palatal expander placed in my mouth. It has worked for me. I am dealing with the gap in between my front teeth.
Hi there! Wud u mind giving me some info..m looking for palatal expander for myself.. i am planning to get expander for smile correction as i have protruded teeth somewhat like buckteeth..
I wanna ask- do u have buck teeth or somewhat front forward teeth?
@@kaifianaaz9986 not at all. Expander is for expanding the top jaw for cross bite. It is when the bottom jaw is larger than the top jaw. The teeth on the top jaw fall inwards and do not touch on the bottom jaw. It sounds like you may have an over bite. You can get braces or surgery for that depending on the severity of its
@@DeryaLoveYou thanks for the reply
Hii I'm 17 yrs old I'm going to get the expander do u think will that work on me ... Also how long did the expander took for u
"I'm expending up to 40 year olds" hahahaha it's so hard to be a grown-up
What about when your upper and lower jaw fit together but are narrow, can you expand both lower and upper jaw? I mostly heard of upper jaw expanders. i removed 8 teeth to gain space (4 regular where removed as a preteen, and than additional 4 wisdom teeth as an adult) I also had a crooked septum until recently so i could only breathe though the mouth for 26 years, now i fixed it with surgery but i struggle to hold the back of the tounge in the roof it's simply too big for it to work without forcing it. I got invisalign but turns out it didn't increase the space between the back molars much at all, i went from 31mm to 32mm the teeth are now straight but palate still narrow
*Dr. Mew, i hope you'll answer this question. Is it possible for palatal expanders to work if you have many extracted teeth on the right side of the upper jaw?*
Same
I recommend searching RUclips for subliminal audios for widening the jaw, growing the chin/jaw out, pulling the maxilla forward and up etc. this worked for me almost instantly
Chico XZ no what?
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.
@Cthulhu Can't sue a doctor
Omg
Do you know of anyone who will do this in or around Melbourne, Australia? Everyone I have been to here says it cannot be done.
How about expending forward? Im about to start orthopedics and kind of worried bc i want my upper jaw to move forward....any advice or comments ?
I wish he was in australia, I'd really want him to treat me personally so I dont end up spending months doing the wrong thing
I'm in aus aswell and looking for this. I still don't know what appliance he uses though. Anyways have you found anything ?
xxsamperrinxx I gave up and got braces man :( I had fairly crooked bottom teeth that needed to be straightened anyways, not sure if it’s done much expanding on the top tho but I did have a pretty gross narrow arch at the top which is more rounded out now but I can’t fully comment until the braces come off which should be in less than 9 months at this point
First of all, english isn't my language.
Guys, this is surprisingly TRUE! I'm 26 yo, and I started mewing about three months ago, and i'm seeing legitimate result - it's not placebo/illusion. For those who are really interested in mewing, here is how I do it:
1- gently touch your upper lips and lower lips;
2- then make your upper and lower front teeth touch each other, gently equally, don't put pressure
3- now, position your tongue in the roof of your mouth, in a way that the tip don't touch the front teeth. The base portion of the tongue must stay in the "back roof" (soft palete) of the mouth.
I'm seeing massive results, especially in the zygomatic bone. I don't have too much body fat, consequently it's more noticiable.
I estimate I mew ~4 hours/day
Yet I bet you have no obvious differences in a before and after picture.
still going
ive been doing the exact samw for 4 years . no results whatsoever
ive been doing the exact samw for 4 years . no results whatsoever
I have pretty bad OCD, and I'm starting to think that maybe it's a breathing issue. And so I'm re-introducing myself to mewing, and right off the bat, I noticed my breathing is ALOT smoother, lets see!
ITS A QUESTION TO ALL AND #MIKEMEW .Will the palate in an adult boy (21) widen with just mewing overtime for a year or two or three or without expander it's not possible to have them aligned ever again?Please answer
I'm a 18 year old getting palatal expansion right now, and it seems to be somewhat effective. I've mouth breathed at night my whole life.
^ Same question here
***** I have the E-Arch (aka the Arnold expander) in my mouth, which is not used as commonly because it's pretty slow. You would probably get the Rapid Palatal Expander if you got it done. I got my expander in July this year and have noticed some small improvement. I'm expected to get it off by July of next year. No pain at all. I had a bad lisp, but after 3 months, nobody could tell I had it in. It did, however, make my bite temporarily worse, because my teeth used to fold inside my bottom teeth and now they go right over them. It's produced a mild openbite, and I've been told that it will go away once my top teeth pass over my bottom teeth and link together again. Overall I would say it's a solid procedure, go for it. There really is no downside, any minor issues caused by the expander will be rectified with some alignment afterwards.
***** "After watching this I'm hesitant to not use it" Why? Also, the expander is fine. It's slower than the RPE, but usually slower is better for the long term. I've gotten some huge expansion near the front of my mouth, where the springs are, but not so much near the back. I'm going to talk to my orthodontist about that next time I see him. I've had it for about 8 months at this point.
I should also add that my expander is not the least bit uncomfortable. I have to admit it was horrible for about two weeks, but I got 100% use to it and forget it's there. Judging by the looks of the RPE, that might not be the case.
***** Fixed. I've heard that and haven't got a gap in the slightest, probably because I don't have the RPE.
Yeah. I had it out after a year and my palette was MUCH wider, big improvement. I'm hitting the 2 year point for invisalign now (it only takes so long for me because I have to correct my jaw alignment via rubberbands too). My palette did SLIGHTLY shrink back after 2 years of not having the expander in, but not much. Solid treatment, no complaints.
Is there someone in California that does the exact same treatment as Mike Mew does? I'd visit him but since he doesn't take older than 21 patients and I'm 23 it's a problem...
I'm 23 in Canada and don't know where to go to get an appliance :[
yes, William Hang, he is John Mew's student
Myobrace.com look it up
@@borz55 Thanks for the recommendation. Do you have knowledge of others around the country who might have learned under John Mew?
4:06 Like the skull comparison of Tyrannosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. Similar overall body size but bite stress differs significantly due to the bone structure differences according to computer simulation.
Dr Mew, you mentioned a chewing appliance; where can I find one?
i am 33, using a removable palate expander and am turning my appliance 3 times a day and it feels great. My palate is expanding very quickly and there is already more room for my tongue. My goal is to reach max expansion in 3 more weeks.
check the comments, mate. Some people are saying they expanded their palate too quickly and did serious damage. Better to take it slow and steady
@@Queef_Storm Fair enough. Thanks for the advice. I am being very wary of how my palate feels as I expand. I experimented with different turns of expansion, 4 turns (1mm) felt too much and was creating too much pressure.3 turns for me felt very comfortable.
Also I wear it every night when I sleep and 90% of the day. If I have it out for a few hours it does not fit so consistency is key.
I have a short eating window everyday and that may be why perhaps I recover and heal quickly and can expand so much. Not sure. I will continue to listen to my body and expand only to where I feel ease.
The homeoblock is incredible and recommend it highly to anyone witha narrow palate ie anyone who cant fit their entire tongue on their roof of their mouth
Dr. John mew said to expand slowly... you can do permanent damage to your teeth if you go too quick
@@ImaDoWatIWant hi how slow do they recommend? I’m doing one turn (1mm) per week..
@@Queef_Storm would you say 1mm per week is too quick? Thanks
This may seem like an odd question, but would palatal expansion widen the distance between the eyes by pushing the orbital bones farther apart? My face is very narrow and unfortunately my eyes are extremely close together. On top of this I have an very narrow jaw and jawline and my teeth are all pushed together on my lower jaw making my teeth bunched together and crooked.
the close eyes are probably genetic, if its possible to change it would only be a very small amount
If it applies to you a rhinoplasty done the right way and or/zygoma reduction surgery can optically make the distance between the eyes seem smaller, and a less invasive way is getting rid of or covering up dark/sunken undereyes
Is it possible to bring the mid face and cheekbones forward without surgery and mewing? My discrepancy is too big that mewing cannot do anything. Is it possible to bring it forward and upwards wit orthopedic apparatures?
I had Invisalign I believe it narrowed my palette and it caused two large pockets/bumps underneath my bottom lip, I got Invisalign to close the gaps between my teeth, my teeth have always been straight. I don’t know what to do about this problem that I noticed after the treatment I guess I didn’t notice because wearing the plastic on my teeth daily hid the bumps that it was causing. I of course stopped wearing the retainers and aligners because I know something went wrong, I have always had a youthful appearance and now these pockets underneath my lips making corner of lips droop. What can I do to correct this problem?
what kind of expander do you use?
I have seen my sons face change since he’s has braces, & am looking for a specialist in Ontario that can help.
I had dental movement. This was ten years ago and it’s not as bad but I can feel the roots of my back teeth when I put my finger up there
Is it possible after the age of 40? My ortho in Taiwan has recommended a combination of surgery and expansion device.
Any update?
What kind of removable expander do you use?
Got answer?
What about people with dental bridges or crowns? Won't that create further problems? please answer. Thank you in advance.
Hello, dr mew, I’m interested in having you help me improve my facial structure as a whole... the upper part of my mouth is sooo narrow that I can’t do mewing, plus I have retainers and had tooth extraction... I would love to send you photos so I can have a professional diagnosis from an expert such as yourself
Does anyone know how much it cost in uk or with him ?
Sir? Does the adult face change from mewing in adulthood? People say your father says you're face can't change as adult but I think it can. Please could you enlighten us?
It does change with mewing I'm living proof
@@FG-bu3jp how old are you ?
@@ghostytigger6383 29
By aligners, do you mean Invisalign type aligners? I wonder if you can keep your tongue up with those, or if tge edge irritates the tongue?
Hey Dr. Mew. I am 23 years old and like alot of the people in the comments, I was told the only way to correct my bimaxillary protrusion and crossbite is with a 4-bicuspid extraction. Will an expander work for me considering I have a *unilateral posterior crossbite?
hey, how are you doing now?
@@GuruPrashanth7970 Didn't get the jaw surgery and extractions to correct my face, just got the braces to fix my unilateral posterior crossbite. (With conventional orthodontics that means they tipped those posterior teeth out with elastics). So now my teeth are straight, but I'm going to see what Dr. Mew does for people with maxillary excess by watching some of his videos on it
@@frenchydds2208 I have bimaxillary excess too, it’s a hard decision because the extractions and jaw surgery are the only options
@@GuruPrashanth7970 I ended up turning down surgery and extractions. I got traditional braces done at a dental school (the one I attended as a student for the student discount😂) and they don't put palatal expanders on adults there, so I didn't get that either. They corrected my unilateral crossbite with elastics, my teeth are straight but still hav the protrusion. I've jus accepted that this is how my face looks, has never had any severe social impacts so I can live with it🤷🏾♀️ I jus got married 3 months ago and start my career as a dentist next month🙂
@@Memomommy yeah and I've heard the extraction route does more harm than good so I really don't recommend. I hope the dental field eventually stops offering that as an option smh...surgery and just living with it are the only 2 legitimate options in my opinion. Get a consultation from an oral surgeon and see what they say, so you can make the best decision for yourself. Thats what I did
Where can I find a doctor with that mentality in the USA!! Help
I am having a problem. I wore a pallate expander when I was 21 for a couple of years and it messed up my palalle. I had a even pallate before I wore it. It caused my pallate to be uneven with the left side wider than the right and the arm of the expander cut into the roof of my mouth and left a permanent knot on the right side where its more narrow. I have been unhappy about this so long. I don`t know what to do or where to go so I can this fixed. Every oral surgeon I go to want to charge me for a consult and never help me and I get nowhere with orthodontic consultations either because they tell me they don`t put expanders on adults or they wont expand it so it will be even on both sides. The issue is the uneveness is really bothering me and I want something done to make my pallate symmetrical again. The places I go to dont listen and want to do anything for me and I hate that I am stuck like this because it was not like this before. I feel like I get the run around everywhere I go and ripped off and charged for nothing. Is there a way they can expand one side to make it look like the other side. Do you have any suggestions?
Did you get this fixed ??
I'm going through something similar, I've had some dental restorations that have changed my entire bite, the person who did it didn't want to correct it and other dentists just charge me money and don't care about correcting it
I'm 32 and I just got one. I had to have 2 small incisions in my gums to make room for the expansion but going well besides that.
Rebecca M how are you doing now?
A mm per week?
I spoke to an orthodontist today to try correct the botched work done on my face as a young teen, and she said as an adult I’d probably only get 2-3mm in my pallet.
-How do you think RME is damaging?
-What is the maximum rate of expansion that is not damaging?
-What appliance did you use?
-What other appliances do you recommend?
-How do you let one side relapse?

@@user-p6-3561 I think best is probably ALF because it seems to be able to somewhat correct asymmetries at the same time as expanding. The mews also recommend it as a way of increasing tongue space but they havent spoke about it in relation to asymmetries (yet) which is one of its primary draws
