Oh my god. I‘m in shock. Finally somebody understands how my body works. I’ve been treated so many years and i always felt like everybody was just confused
It is the posture that causes face asymmetry. I changed my posture, and my face asymmetry disappeared. My case was easy because I knew what caused posture asymmetry in the first place. I practiced the Yoga Lotus pose (Padmasana) one-sidedly for some time. My pelvis became asymmetrical, and my face started losing symmetry, jaw, eyes etc. As soon as I realized what the problem was and started practicing the Yoga Lotus pose with another leg below, my facial asymmetry disappeared in only two days (!) after several years of suffering. I should thank Neal Hallinan for this realization and healing. The main realization is that the jaw and pelvis are linked and can influence each other.
What about assymetry in the eyes. My scleral show and canthus is slightly different. When I was a kid i did not have this problem but now I have this problem. I also have shit posture. Will fixing my posture fix assymetrical eyes aswell???
I've seen CST help facial asymmetry in horses. I'm scheduling a session for myself with a human focused practitioner. Really glad you made this video, a lot of people think symmetry is only genetics, when in reality certain therapies & modalities can help!
You really know your stuff. You point out things I've never heard of in any other videos. My body is such a mess. I will try to fix it as best I can using your videos. I wish you all the best in the future.
Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and left eye is slightly up so in which direction should I push my jaw???
The conversation should starts from question; Wich factors of asymmetry we have? Mechanical? Psychological? What else we have? What we can do with it - realisticly
A lot of assymetry is also caused simply by teeth not being on the right place on your jaw. This can be the upper or lower jaw, but with low jaw assymetry like a twist its usually teeth position. Unfortunately, a lot of orthodontists don't know anything about it and just straighten teeth in the wrong position. If you ask them how to fix it they will tell you to get jaw surgury. There are doctors in America who do treat it. Look for a cosmetic dentist who looks at tmj and works with an orthodontist. They will put your teeth in the correct position and fix most if not all your facial assymetry. These things are usually not covered by insurance however so expect to pay close to 8k or so.
You could create an entire business around helping people get symetrical faces. I hope you do and succeed in it because its such a useful information that is not well researched. ❤
Also Ryan Gosling and Paul Walker have noticeably assymetrical faces. Yeah, not a big deal. The characteristics and overall harmony of the face are probably more meaningful than the symmetry up to a certain point.

That makes sense. I think this is why my face is asymmetrical. My left upper palate is higher than the right due to asymmetrical tongue posture (I've been putting more pressure on my left than right). So, since the right is lower, my sphenoid tilts more to the right side and is making everything on my right side lower.

I didnt care about body so much but meanwhile you are single you are ok, if you have somebody these defects can occupy more your mind. I feel uncomfortable with my eyes because its not only how they look but they are so different in how they function too😅 one has more mobility, etc
Hey Conor doubt youll see this comment. Just wanted to give you feedback. I'm currently a personal trainer, through ACE. And just have to say your description referencing the kinetic chain, how things can lead to others, althought you kept it all really simplified for me and others watching i found it insanely digestible and cross-applying. Amazing job really its lead me to researching more on this and asking my teacher/ex proffesor about it. He didnt know too much hahaha other than the basics. Amazing video and loved that you went over genetics, differences amongst people and how you cant just paint 1 brush onto everyone as many tiktoks try to do. I find myself having the same principle in exercise, rehab and bodybuilding with my clients. Cant wait for more vids
I hate those comments where people are like "Wow, I did the exercise and it worked and my life is better, and I feel better, and I reversed 20 years of damage, etc", because how can you trust that? BUT. Lately I've been having ear pain from my jaw, and my jaw/bite has been feeling mal-occluded. No idea why. I just did the isometric chin push exercise very gently and my jaw and ear actually feel better. Thank you very much for your videos.
Great video. I had orthognathic surgery. Moving my top jaw forward and moving my lower jaw back. Bone was removed in the lower to shorten it and to create a better angle. I had modelled in the fashion magazine on four pages 10 years before I had this surgery but I still knew something was wrong. My orthodontist and surgeon informed me the Jaw position was wrong like you’ve just shown. My result was better facial harmony & better function. Thank you for more detail!
I’m looking into orthodontists & jaw surgery. But my teeth are also misaligned likely due to an imbalanced jaw. Did you have to have any of your teeth removed or altered with braces before you had surgery? You also mentioned your orthodontist and surgeon mentioned your jaw was misaligned as shown in the video so did they talk about your sphenoid bone or temporal bones and planned surgery around that?
Dear Conor, that was a good presentation. You may not know but the ALF appliance was adapted from my own Biobloc Stage 1 appliance. You may have heard that I correct cranial growth by changing posture rather than manipulation. Many people call this mewing. I am sure you would agree many unilateral deviations occur during child birth and to a varying extent can be corrected by manipulation. this usually need repeating over time. You may not know that substantial bony changes can be achieved just by changing posture. W achieve this with a flange dropped from an upper expansion appliance which swings the jaw to one side or the other. I wish you success Prof John Mew.
Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and left eye is slightly up and jaw is tilted in right direction and all from my fpp(pov) so in which direction should I push my jaw???
@@Nuclear-zd1zedid you get it ? I wanna know too. Mine is the same as yours but I didn't get the part where he explained from which side we have to push
@@Adarshnotforyou yeah I understood by myself we just need to activate muscles of weak side. So tell me which of your eye is up and low, and in which direction your jaw seems like tilted. If you are facing same asymmetry like me take any of your hand and lay down facing towards the ciel then touch your left jaw and push it towards the right direction and try to pull jaw to left direction not by hand but with jaw muscles then your muscles will get activated your face will be symmetrical, hope you got it, my eyebrows are also assymetrical like up and down do you have the same problem too?
I was searching what is my issue for a long time and now iam feeling that i get something is making sense for me to understand it! Thank you, man. I truly appreciated ur work. ❤
Conor, thank you so my much for your work! It’s invaluable. I would love to know your understanding of atlant dislocation in general but also in terms of its influence on face asymmetries and other compensations through the body. Please make a video about it next!
I want to take the time to mentions tons of male models, female models, actors and people that are considered very attractive have Asymmetry problems as well. Obviously they arn't that severe and most models/attractive people do have good Symmetry but it isn't a "death sentence". I've seen some photos of Sean o and chico (famous models) without any editing, makeup, bad lighting and my god they kind of just like normal dudes on the street. Everything you see on TV/internet is photoshopped and covered up, creates awful standards.
But for some people Asymmetry is a big problem. Like me. My whole face is asymmetrical, my jaw, my nose, my lips and something with the cheeks. My only hope is plastic surgery now. Nothing else.
You gave me big hopes. I have a problem with my jaw in right side of my body. This is really a mind blowing that others don't have any idea ❤ thank you
IQ vs EQ most of us are trained to us right hand so the most of us have our right side of the face have higher growth compared to left side. You can relate this with men's abs too
2:05 i got this same issue but my right side of face seems scrunched (right eye is lower, right ear flared out and jaw seems to be on the right side too). And can you please simplify what should i do to improve the symmetry of my face. Thankyou.
Just mew evenly , you'll notice you're doing uneven mewing so fix that And correct your forward head posture and train neck muscles it's all interconnected
Why you want to change yourself? You are good 😊 don't feel bad if you face is asymmetric, just find your beauty by yourself, and focus on your goal, there is only 70 - 80 years to live, don't waste your time to make your face symmetrical 😊
Looking forward to the map you mentioned. I know AIA is working hard to train people to understand this work and be able to competently apply strategies. This may take longer; well I know for sure much longer than I would like as it includes several highly trained disciplines.
When doing the jaw shift exercise, the goal is to release tension and relax your jaw muscles. To do this, you'll want to place your fingers on the side of your face that's opposite to the direction your jaw is shifted. So, if your jaw is shifted to the left, you would place your fingers on the right side of your face, and vice versa. Here's how to do the exercise: 1. Place your fingers on the side of your face, opposite to the direction your jaw is shifted. 2. Gently press your fingers against your face, feeling for the jaw bone. 3. Slowly shift your jaw to the opposite side, keeping your fingers in place. 4. Hold for a few seconds, then release. 5. Repeat on the other side. Remember to be gentle and don't force your jaw beyond a comfortable range of motion.
Connor great content, would love to see more, I thought I was crazy when I would hold my head, tongue and jaw posture properly suddenly my body would be more aligned, turns out there is science
How many sets of 5-10 second holds should you do a day? Do I take rest in between sets, should I do it everyday? Feel like the instructions on how often to do it was unclear.
Facial exercises have been out for a long time. Its the medical field that is finally catching up. Also, your jaw alignment correlates with your pelvic alignment. So, if your pelvis is out of alignment so will your jaw and vice versa. There's also Orthotropics and Mewing.
i have those spinal issues a vertebrae is out of place near my neck and my doctors are clueless ive been so anxious and panicked trying to figure out whats wrong because my entire body feels out of place i wish i had someone like you who knows how to help me in the way i need or just tell me whats wrong but this vid helped me realise other ppl have similar issues and that things can help i wish i could just walk normally again having these issues takes up my entire subconscious like im constantly reminded of my discomfort im just so tired of this i want a new body id rather be the ugliest person alive then have to deal with this pain and discomfort idc what i look like i just want to feel good again sorry for the rant im 17 i dont have good healthcare anyways tha k you for the tips ill be watching more of ur stuff
Craniosacral therapy (CST) manipulates the bones of the skull and I believe can affect the positioning of the sphenoid bone. Also, some chiropractors can do a cranial facial release where they use a balloon to adjust your sphenoid bone into the right position. Dr. Mew recently posted about it on his RUclips channel.
This all makes sense now. my face used to be PERFECT, and that is until i got into a motorcycle accident. my head got hit but not too much and now my left side of the face is higher than my right side.. not really sure what to do rn 🤷🏾♂️
So basically, i hve crossbite and the midline’s off bcs of which i 😢 hve assymetric jaw, eyes and nose too…all are iclined towards right…therefore i hve a bad face symmetry…. Due to this i hve now put on braces to fix my crossbite and i hope assymetry in my face is fixed too
If you dont already have perfect teeth and a wide smile here is a GREAT advice; Use a palatal expander. I had some crowding and needed to expand the palate (which was steep) and now after more than 10 month its crazy what difference it made on the symmetry, somehting that was just a bonus although I was familiar with the effect expanders would have before starting. Some differences, eye brows are now way more similar and have more symmetrical angle, nose more straight, eye symmetry has greatly improved and are more sharp, cheek bones are wider and whole face looks healthier.
I don’t understand how to fix it though. The exercise where you are pushing your jaw, what side should you push relative to the side you have the problem? The right side of my face is “squished” so my jaw leans to the right and my right eye is lower. Should I push to the right side with my fingers on the left side (so push towards the problem side) Or push to the left side with my fingers on the right (so away from the problem side)
My left eye is higher and I usually have a less visible eye circle there too but on the right side of my face I usually have more pimples than on the left side and also more a more visible eye circle. My eyebrow looks really fuvked on my right side too
Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and right eye is slightly up so in which direction should I push my jaw???
@@simulatingme at 5:02 from what I understand, if your right eye is lower, means that your jaw is likely to tip more to the left side of the face. But seeing the exercise he demonstrated, it doesn't matter which side of the eye is lower, you just need to do the realignment of the jaw so that it will be more centred, and then the eye position will follow. Have you ever tried mewing?
If the mandible is deviated to one side (you mention the left in your example) why would the exercise you recommend be to shift the jaw to the right to produce an isometric contraction on the lateral pterygoid on the same side the deviation is occurring? It objectively makes no sense. If anything you’d want to strengthen the lateral pterygoid of the opposite side of the deviation. I.e if your mandible is deviated to the right you’d want to strengthen the left lateral pterygoid.
It would certainly seem the way you mention it but let us consider the anatomy more closely. The lateral pterygoid (LP) has two heads that attach to the sphenoid bone (upper to greater wing and lower to pterygoid plate) the other ends attach to the TM Joint capsule and to the mandible just below the joint. Visualize, then, that is runs from medial origin down and out and from anterior to posterior to lateral insertion on the mandible. It acts to protrude the mandible when it shortens. Also the left LP acts to move the mandible to the right. We are activating the left LP in the example to create multiple effects however…on the sphenoid and less so on the mandible! Those effects of the left LP on the sphenoid will increase left molar contact which will be decreased in many instances if the body pattern causes leftward deviation of the mandible. By protruding the mandible we partially shorten the LP. Then, by isometrically activating that LP (slight pressure on the right side of the chin) we cause movement of the sphenoid thru action on the pterygoid plate. This action both turns the sphenoid body to the left in the transverse plane and raises the left side of the sphenoid on the frontal plane. Voila! Left bite restored! THAT is what we are after! Sorry for the long answer but your question was so good and important, we just wanted to do it justice. ~Mike Cantrell, Your AIA Team
@@conorharris Incredible. Thank you for the time and effort in that response. I’ve just started putting forth some effort in understanding jaw function/dysfunction, and that really helped in shoring up a few things I was unsure about. As I understand it, that exercise will also cause *some* ipsilateral contraction of temporalis? I did it extremely lightly, and I think that is what I felt and confused it for contraction of the right LP. Testing again (and again extremely lightly) I do indeed feel the contraction coming from the LP contralateral to the jaw deviation. BRAVO!
@@trevorhunka8985um what does this mean then ,my jaw is deviated to left where am I supposed to put my finger for the exercise he told at last of the video 😞
@@trevorhunka8985please tell me 😢my jaw is deviated to left where to put the finger to do the exercise ? Left or right I'm literally struggling to understand it 😭
Conor, do you have sample before and after visuals of this asymmetry being corrected in patients as a result of these exercises? This is what I can’t seem to find and I believe many on your feed would like to see as validation
For the exercise example do I put the 2 fingers on my longer right cheek ( where my jaw is more slanted to the left) or on the shorter side (left cheek) or do I do this exercise on Both sides
If my jaw is asymmetricaly dropping to the right side of my face should the first exercise be to push jaw from right to left and to push it back with face muscles so i feel muscles on the right side of face working? Or should it be the other way around?
@@madslav8177you need to put your jaw in right position so if your jaw bigger on the left, you need to push to the right side, but i don't recommend doing without specialist, better get splint and after braces
Nice. What about TMJ APPLIANCES to re-symmetry the TMJ kondoyle areas by dropping the jaw on the heightened side, and moving the jaw slightly forward? I'm using that now. My TMJ joints weren't symmetric, one side ( i think the right side) was slightly higher...so I've been given a TMJ mouth appliance to wear (looks like invisalign but with a splint), and I have to wear it for FOUR MONTHS. The improvement in my body's symmetric function was actually INSTANT the moment I put it on! Can you make a video on THIS specific topic as well!?
@@jessica3218 nah. try mewing (lot's of videos on youtube). it's free and beneficial at any age, even tho improvements typically come faster at a younger age
It's not genetic matter for me. Half of my face is like stop growing and the other half continue growing and its like two different people face combined together.
Just change your oral position ,you'll notice you're doing uneven mewing too. So do even mewing ,and train neck muscles, and fixed forward head posture it's all interconnected

I didnt care about body so much but meanwhile you are single you are ok, if you have somebody these defects can occupy more your mind. I feel uncomfortable with my eyes because its not only how they look but they are so different in how they function too😅 one has more mobility, etc
This looks a lot like what the Postural Restoration Institute/Neal Hallinan does! Excited to see more people doing it.
That's where he learned it
Hey Conor doubt youll see this comment. Just wanted to give you feedback. I'm currently a personal trainer, through ACE. And just have to say your description referencing the kinetic chain, how things can lead to others, althought you kept it all really simplified for me and others watching i found it insanely digestible and cross-applying. Amazing job really its lead me to researching more on this and asking my teacher/ex proffesor about it. He didnt know too much hahaha other than the basics. Amazing video and loved that you went over genetics, differences amongst people and how you cant just paint 1 brush onto everyone as many tiktoks try to do. I find myself having the same principle in exercise, rehab and bodybuilding with my clients. Cant wait for more vids

I hate those comments where people are like "Wow, I did the exercise and it worked and my life is better, and I feel better, and I reversed 20 years of damage, etc", because how can you trust that?
BUT. Lately I've been having ear pain from my jaw, and my jaw/bite has been feeling mal-occluded. No idea why. I just did the isometric chin push exercise very gently and my jaw and ear actually feel better. Thank you very much for your videos.
You can solve, mitigate, or lessen most symptoms today world have if you do exercise and do it consistently
the human body is an amazing instrument, tested over millennia
Did you push your chin to the side where that the jaw is the tilting or the other side?
you probably just healed your tmj
Great video. I had orthognathic surgery. Moving my top jaw forward and moving
my lower jaw back. Bone was removed in the lower to shorten it and to create
a better angle. I had modelled in the fashion magazine on four pages 10 years
before I had this surgery but I still knew something was wrong. My orthodontist
and surgeon informed me the Jaw position was wrong like you’ve just shown.
My result was better facial harmony & better function. Thank you for more detail!
I’m looking into orthodontists & jaw surgery. But my teeth are also misaligned likely due to an imbalanced jaw. Did you have to have any of your teeth removed or altered with braces before you had surgery? You also mentioned your orthodontist and surgeon mentioned your jaw was misaligned as shown in the video so did they talk about your sphenoid bone or temporal bones and planned surgery around that?
Dear Conor, that was a good presentation. You may not know but the ALF appliance was adapted from my own Biobloc Stage 1 appliance. You may have heard that I correct cranial growth by changing posture rather than manipulation. Many people call this mewing.
I am sure you would agree many unilateral deviations occur during child birth and to a varying extent can be corrected by manipulation. this usually need repeating over time. You may not know that substantial bony changes can be achieved just by changing posture. W achieve this with a flange dropped from an upper expansion appliance which swings the jaw to one side or the other. I wish you success Prof John Mew.
Istg i find the left one on the thumbnail more attractive though
Finally someone who actually understands what they’re talking about

Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and left eye is slightly up and jaw is tilted in right direction and all from my fpp(pov) so in which direction should I push my jaw???
@@Nuclear-zd1zedid you get it ? I wanna know too. Mine is the same as yours but I didn't get the part where he explained from which side we have to push
Bro me also, i did get confused
@@Adarshnotforyou yeah I understood by myself we just need to activate muscles of weak side. So tell me which of your eye is up and low, and in which direction your jaw seems like tilted. If you are facing same asymmetry like me take any of your hand and lay down facing towards the ciel then touch your left jaw and push it towards the right direction and try to pull jaw to left direction not by hand but with jaw muscles then your muscles will get activated your face will be symmetrical, hope you got it, my eyebrows are also assymetrical like up and down do you have the same problem too?
@@Nuclear-zd1ze yeah i do have the same problem but it's not that severe, you'll only realise it when you look at it for a long period of time
I was searching what is my issue for a long time and now iam feeling that i get something is making sense for me to understand it! Thank you, man. I truly appreciated ur work. ❤
I really really love how you got straight to the point. Thank you!
Bradley Cooper and Ryan gosling help me cope with my asymmetry ❤❤❤
No need to finish the video I'm good ❤
Conor, thank you so my much for your work! It’s invaluable. I would love to know your understanding of atlant dislocation in general but also in terms of its influence on face asymmetries and other compensations through the body. Please make a video about it next!
Video starts at 4:37
I want to take the time to mentions tons of male models, female models, actors and people that are considered very attractive have Asymmetry problems as well. Obviously they arn't that severe and most models/attractive people do have good Symmetry but it isn't a "death sentence". I've seen some photos of Sean o and chico (famous models) without any editing, makeup, bad lighting and my god they kind of just like normal dudes on the street. Everything you see on TV/internet is photoshopped and covered up, creates awful standards.
That's how they sell you faces 😅
But for some people Asymmetry is a big problem. Like me. My whole face is asymmetrical, my jaw, my nose, my lips and something with the cheeks. My only hope is plastic surgery now. Nothing else.
Was screwed before orthognatic surgery and moreso, after.
Thankyou for clearing up some of the hype
Wait, how were you more screwed after getting the surgery?
2:10 I always thought he had a perfect face until you showed this.
Well i never noticed it because i wasnt focused on Symmetry in the face
You gave me big hopes. I have a problem with my jaw in right side of my body. This is really a mind blowing that others don't have any idea ❤ thank you
IQ vs EQ most of us are trained to us right hand so the most of us have our right side of the face have higher growth compared to left side. You can relate this with men's abs too
It’s very interesting, i believe science will get to the main root cause of it
thank you, correcting the center of the atlas C1 + correcting muscle imbalance of the whole body + correcting tongue position
2:05 i got this same issue but my right side of face seems scrunched (right eye is lower, right ear flared out and jaw seems to be on the right side too). And can you please simplify what should i do to improve the symmetry of my face. Thankyou.
Just mew evenly , you'll notice you're doing uneven mewing so fix that
And correct your forward head posture and train neck muscles it's all interconnected
Thank youu!! Now this validates my observation of my asymmetrical face😭💖
This is the first I learned about those bones!!!! Thanks a bunch 👐🏻🌹🌹🌹
Your knowledge is amazing to listen to. I wish you were in Perth Australia 🇦🇺
wow 😲 who knew, learned something new today. Thank you
Why you want to change yourself? You are good 😊 don't feel bad if you face is asymmetric, just find your beauty by yourself, and focus on your goal, there is only 70 - 80 years to live, don't waste your time to make your face symmetrical 😊
I wonder if people with more symmetrical faces have better balance, and inversely if training balance will restore symmetry to one’s face 🤔
Looking forward to the map you mentioned. I know AIA is working hard to train people to understand this work and be able to competently apply strategies. This may take longer; well I know for sure much longer than I would like as it includes several highly trained disciplines.
Watching this video gave me blue eyes
Really
I thought you'd say smash that jaw 😂 I was terrified until i heard "like button"
the celeb examples made me realise that even if they have asymmetry they still look way better than i do.. theres no hope for me hah..
@222rina i dont have to imagine.. i see them everyday T_T
@222rina oh yeah.. i just need to win lottery or marry rich and im flying to skorea for a whole new face and body
FIRST VIDEO I WATCH AND IM ALREADY SUBSCRIBED
6:06 I don’t understand which side I should put my fingers on. My jaw is turned left meaning my figures should be on my right side?
I need to know this too
When doing the jaw shift exercise, the goal is to release tension and relax your jaw muscles. To do this, you'll want to place your fingers on the side of your face that's opposite to the direction your jaw is shifted.
So, if your jaw is shifted to the left, you would place your fingers on the right side of your face, and vice versa.
Here's how to do the exercise:
1. Place your fingers on the side of your face, opposite to the direction your jaw is shifted.
2. Gently press your fingers against your face, feeling for the jaw bone.
3. Slowly shift your jaw to the opposite side, keeping your fingers in place.
4. Hold for a few seconds, then release.
5. Repeat on the other side.
Remember to be gentle and don't force your jaw beyond a comfortable range of motion.
@@TheArtSpace90907 thanks!
Connor great content, would love to see more, I thought I was crazy when I would hold my head, tongue and jaw posture properly suddenly my body would be more aligned, turns out there is science
How many sets of 5-10 second holds should you do a day? Do I take rest in between sets, should I do it everyday? Feel like the instructions on how often to do it was unclear.
Facial exercises have been out for a long time. Its the medical field that is finally catching up. Also, your jaw alignment correlates with your pelvic alignment. So, if your pelvis is out of alignment so will your jaw and vice versa. There's also Orthotropics and Mewing.
Who else still doesn't know what to do after this video?

meet a chiropractor is the best probable solution
Idk man with all the imperfect things I have on my body, at this point those exercises are a full time job
i always noticed un- leveled eyes on people. now i know why.
Assymetry will also translate into differences in mobility at the hip and shoulder levels (teeth structure etc..).
i have those spinal issues a vertebrae is out of place near my neck and my doctors are clueless ive been so anxious and panicked trying to figure out whats wrong because my entire body feels out of place i wish i had someone like you who knows how to help me in the way i need or just tell me whats wrong but this vid helped me realise other ppl have similar issues and that things can help i wish i could just walk normally again having these issues takes up my entire subconscious like im constantly reminded of my discomfort im just so tired of this i want a new body id rather be the ugliest person alive then have to deal with this pain and discomfort idc what i look like i just want to feel good again sorry for the rant im 17 i dont have good healthcare anyways tha k you for the tips ill be watching more of ur stuff
Wow someone I can relate to. I have exactly the same problems regarding cervical vertebrae :/
Craniosacral therapy (CST) manipulates the bones of the skull and I believe can affect the positioning of the sphenoid bone. Also, some chiropractors can do a cranial facial release where they use a balloon to adjust your sphenoid bone into the right position. Dr. Mew recently posted about it on his RUclips channel.
This all makes sense now. my face used to be PERFECT, and that is until i got into a motorcycle accident. my head got hit but not too much and now my left side of the face is higher than my right side.. not really sure what to do rn 🤷🏾♂️
I know what you can do, enjoy life
@@Swedenwasin1970😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So basically, i hve crossbite and the midline’s off bcs of which i 😢 hve assymetric jaw, eyes and nose too…all are iclined towards right…therefore i hve a bad face symmetry….
Due to this i hve now put on braces to fix my crossbite and i hope assymetry in my face is fixed too
I would also knw if braces can really fix it
dows the crossbite effect yourbody posture
So how was the Alf used in this situation? Are you not expanding the Alf at all, but just using it for sensory input , without activating?
I'd like to know as well
Same. And I would like to know who the practitioner was. Thanks.
This book is the best resource on how to correctly use the ALF: www.amazon.com/ALF-Approach-Changing-Face-Orthodontics/dp/173586420X
@@conorharris thanks Connor , but can you summarise how you've used it differently to a traditional use. With this patient specifically I mean.
Thank you! This information was very helpful🙌🔥
im going to cry help why is it so difficult to he this pretty 😭😭
this was so incredibly useful. thank you
If you dont already have perfect teeth and a wide smile here is a GREAT advice;
Use a palatal expander.
I had some crowding and needed to expand the palate (which was steep) and now after more than 10 month its crazy what difference it made on the symmetry, somehting that was just a bonus although I was familiar with the effect expanders would have before starting.
Some differences, eye brows are now way more similar and have more symmetrical angle, nose more straight, eye symmetry has greatly improved and are more sharp, cheek bones are wider and whole face looks healthier.
I have crowded teeth but got braces will that help
thanks which palate expander did you use? was it MSE ?
also how many mm expansion did you do? who was your practitioner that did the expansion?
I’m getting one very soon 😅
did it help body posture too?
You son of a gun, what a great contribution to human kind.
I don’t understand how to fix it though.
The exercise where you are pushing your jaw, what side should you push relative to the side you have the problem?
The right side of my face is “squished” so my jaw leans to the right and my right eye is lower.
Should I push to the right side with my fingers on the left side (so push towards the problem side)
Or push to the left side with my fingers on the right (so away from the problem side)
For real and he didn't clarify anything
This is my case. My one side is lower than other same like bradly cooper. Others say i am good looking but i find my face asymmetrical 😢
I'm like "Hurry up, you're scaring me" 😅
Basically discribed my every problem💀
My left eye is higher and I usually have a less visible eye circle there too but on the right side of my face I usually have more pimples than on the left side and also more a more visible eye circle. My eyebrow looks really fuvked on my right side too
Oh my God all this time I thought my asymmetrical face could never be fixed! Thank you for this educational video! ❤
Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and right eye is slightly up so in which direction should I push my jaw???
@@Nuclear-zd1ze um...you said your RIGHT eye is slightly low and your RIGHT eye is slightly up. What about your left eye?
@@FakhrurrazieJaffarwhich direction should i push my jaw if my right eye is the lower one? Thx
@@simulatingme at 5:02 from what I understand, if your right eye is lower, means that your jaw is likely to tip more to the left side of the face. But seeing the exercise he demonstrated, it doesn't matter which side of the eye is lower, you just need to do the realignment of the jaw so that it will be more centred, and then the eye position will follow. Have you ever tried mewing?
AMAAAAAZING content!!!
What kinda professional could I go to see to atleast speak to about this in person or even fix this with?
i wonder the same
I heard fixing it will help you prevent workout injuries
If the mandible is deviated to one side (you mention the left in your example) why would the exercise you recommend be to shift the jaw to the right to produce an isometric contraction on the lateral pterygoid on the same side the deviation is occurring? It objectively makes no sense. If anything you’d want to strengthen the lateral pterygoid of the opposite side of the deviation. I.e if your mandible is deviated to the right you’d want to strengthen the left lateral pterygoid.
It would certainly seem the way you mention it but let us consider the anatomy more closely.
The lateral pterygoid (LP) has two heads that attach to the sphenoid bone (upper to greater wing and lower to pterygoid plate) the other ends attach to the TM Joint capsule and to the mandible just below the joint. Visualize, then, that is runs from medial origin down and out and from anterior to posterior to lateral insertion on the mandible. It acts to protrude the mandible when it shortens. Also the left LP acts to move the mandible to the right. We are activating the left LP in the example to create multiple effects however…on the sphenoid and less so on the mandible!
Those effects of the left LP on the sphenoid will increase left molar contact which will be decreased in many instances if the body pattern causes leftward deviation of the mandible. By protruding the mandible we partially shorten the LP. Then, by isometrically activating that LP (slight pressure on the right side of the chin) we cause movement of the sphenoid thru action on the pterygoid plate. This action both turns the sphenoid body to the left in the transverse plane and raises the left side of the sphenoid on the frontal plane. Voila! Left bite restored!
THAT is what we are after!
Sorry for the long answer but your question was so good and important, we just wanted to do it justice.

@@conorharris Incredible. Thank you for the time and effort in that response. I’ve just started putting forth some effort in understanding jaw function/dysfunction, and that really helped in shoring up a few things I was unsure about. As I understand it, that exercise will also cause *some* ipsilateral contraction of temporalis? I did it extremely lightly, and I think that is what I felt and confused it for contraction of the right LP. Testing again (and again extremely lightly) I do indeed feel the contraction coming from the LP contralateral to the jaw deviation. BRAVO!

Conor, do you have sample before and after visuals of this asymmetry being corrected in patients as a result of these exercises? This is what I can’t seem to find and I believe many on your feed would like to see as validation
Yeahh
. @conor harris reply
All in my head rn is the felling of my right side touching "better" at the back of my teeth 😂 he's good
For the exercise example do I put the 2 fingers on my longer right cheek ( where my jaw is more slanted to the left) or on the shorter side (left cheek) or do I do this exercise on Both sides
Do I also do the exercise on the opposite side or no?
Thx man, really good inf
Cпасибо от всей души!
06:45
can you tell exactly which side should I do the exercise if my jaw is deviated to the left?
If my jaw is asymmetricaly dropping to the right side of my face should the first exercise be to push jaw from right to left and to push it back with face muscles so i feel muscles on the right side of face working? Or should it be the other way around?
Did you get it ? I have the exact same problem
No, i still don't know how to do this. Guess we will have to look for answers somewhere else
@@madslav8177you need to put your jaw in right position so if your jaw bigger on the left, you need to push to the right side, but i don't recommend doing without specialist, better get splint and after braces
It’s very frustrating. I don’t get this either
Nice. What about TMJ APPLIANCES to re-symmetry the TMJ kondoyle areas by dropping the jaw on the heightened side, and moving the jaw slightly forward?
I'm using that now. My TMJ joints weren't symmetric, one side ( i think the right side) was slightly higher...so I've been given a TMJ mouth appliance to wear (looks like invisalign but with a splint), and I have to wear it for FOUR MONTHS.
The improvement in my body's symmetric function was actually INSTANT the moment I put it on!
