Part 2; • Tongue Ties; what to d...
This is not an advert or an attempt to sell anything.
Sorry this is the first video that I've published completely myself, not quite sure why it is so dark.
I studied traditional kung fu: tongue posture was fundamental for body posture and guess what...? the master told me to put the tongue on the palate!
I have heard this many times regarding many martial arts, and even meditation methods. #mikemew
and how did your face develop?
My left ear learnt a lot about tongue ties, thanks.
🤣
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣same
I'm wheezing - i thought it was something wrong with my headphones at first.
All your knowledge needs to be known globally... I wish I had known about all this years ago or my parents! So many mistakes could've been avoided! Just yesterday I posted a comment about tongue tie and you kindly replied, I do hope the medical community starts embracing orthotropics!
This topic really interests me. I have a very severe tongue tie. But I also have straight teeth. Never needed braces and had room for my wisdom teeth. I don't have any issues but I don't understand why my tongue tie is supposed to cause problems. I can't stick my tongue out at all but I can speak perfectly fine. And I don't have issues swallowing. As far as I know I've never had any issues caused by my tongue tie. Even though I can't lift my tongue more than 1.25cm from the floor of my mouth.
You just cured so much of my anxiety. I read a bunch of reddit threads saying getting a frenectomy is a good idea.
Did you get one? Can you mew properly even with the "tongue tie"
@@iamkindofconfused it's not even that bad. Most people have a frenelum and I don't think it really effect me in any serious way.
Everyone has a frenum, but not everyone has a restricted frenum causing altered function
I think it makes sense that tongue ties are caused by some kind of environmental pollutant. I'd love to see a study that shows what causes tongue ties, and if it is a kind of pollutant causing them, then we can eliminate it from the environment.
4 seconds away from 10 minutes. respect. love you lord mew.
Seriously- luck. Only just realised how to zoom in on the sequence timeline at the very end. Whole weekend watching Premiere Pro tutorials- amazing what you can learn on RUclips!
If you're amazed by Premiere Pro vids imagine how amazed we are by your channel...
I am practicing orthodontist, I do agree that Tongue tie will collapse the arch, I have witnessed collapsed maxilla with posterior crossbite bilaterally in patients with tongue tie of varied degree and severity. I had the same case last week, advised the patient to see an Oral surgeon regarding the tongue which was very obvious. But in this part of the world there are two problems, firstly they are scared of surgery and secondly, they believe orthodontist is a magician who can treat anything with ease. So the father of the patient did not agree to see the Oral surgeon and feared that surgery will be harmful to the patient.
This is always difficult, and I still feel that this is an area where more knowledge is required. People showing case results would help. M
hi is it bad that i ripped under of my tongue trying to do correct posture? u think i got a tongue tie? i do have a slight speech impediment with l's, had braces, small bottom jaw, flat face, fat cheeks, swallow'd like a child ;lol
Great video, waiting for part 2.
Very interesting. As a Naturopath and mother of 2 kids with tongue ties, I've had similar internal debates about the possible causes and wondered if there is a nutritional cause such as folic acid, just as you suggest. However although your folate hypothesis is very interesting, there are many other nutrients, enzymes, etc that could be involved. There are new nutrients being discovered constantly. It could be a nutrient that hasn't even been discovered yet. I'm interested to see where that hypothesis goes.
Here's my experience with my children, just to add some info to your discussions:
#1 child born with severe tongue tie (noted at birth by paediatrician, but we were told it would go away by itself and recommended no treatment). During pregnancy I didn't take supplements, and ate homemade organic foods, so no supplemental folate was possible. This child was breastfed with no issues at all until age 3, and never given supplemental formula... but at age 15 was having severe problems swallowing and eating, along with TMJ issues and we ended up getting the tongue tie lasered because the tongue tie was still severe (clearly long breastfeeding didn't help in this case). Child's father also has severe tongue tie himself (virtually identical to the child).
#2 child born with mild tongue tie plus a lip tie (not noticed by anyone until child was 5). During pregnancy I don't recall taking supplements, but cannot be 100% certain (I tend to rely on food and herbs for my nutrition). Father of this child is different, and could possibly also have tongue and lip ties, but not severe. This child was also breastfed and never given supplemental formula, also with no issues, until age 2.5. But again, at age 5, the tongue an lip ties were present. However I'm not sure if they were worse in early infancy because they weren't checked then, but I didn't notice severe tongue tie (which was very obvious in the first child). This child had a large gap between front baby teeth, and now that the adult teeth are coming through, there is crowding and crookedness in some of them. Child has the typical elongated face/head shape, but was never an obvious mouth-breather. Child's father also has this same face/head shape.
Interesting note, although both children had no trouble breastfeeding at all, they were both incredibly terrible sleepers, and the second child in particular was virtually constantly feeding for the entire 2.5 years until we weaned. When the tongue ties were diagnosed, it was suggested that this could be the reason for the terrible sleeping... perhaps they both weren't actually getting as much milk as they could be due to the ties, so were waking constantly for extra feeds.
When your babies started eating solid food did you feed them meat so they can exercise their chewing muscles? Or did they eat soft food?
Interesting! I was under the impression tongue ties make breastfeeding very difficult and painful, but it sounds like that wasn't your experience at all
@@ThisIsAbstract yes exactly. No trouble feeding either child, although child #1 had a short phase early on where he appeared to be having trouble staying latched on. I took him to a cranial osteopath and he was perfect after that.
Whoops that was me above, the Naturopath with 2 tongue tie kids. But i have a different youtube profile now!
Did the children’s issues resolve after their tongue tie releases?
you dont need spinach, but folinic acid,
Folic acid takes too many processes in the body to convert to folinic acid and onto 5-methylfolate
I had to listen to this video twice, one time for each ear.
I have a very simple question, when you swallow correctly is the position that your tounge is left in after the swallow the correct overall tounge position?
Ideally yes
A real cliff-hanger! I am eagerly awaiting the next video, and wishing it was not a series of only two.
I am 48 years old and my most recent dentist (never found one I like, so I switch) has recommended a tongue-tie release. Everything I read suggests it could be the cause of my lifelong posture and other problems.
I breathe through my nose, and the front of my tongue is up against the top of the mouth more often than not, but I can not get the back of the tongue there at all; also, if I have understood your videos, another issue is that I keep my teeth apart during the day (with my mouth closed). I clench my teeth while sleeping. I have a night guard that I wear each night, but my most recent dentist does not believe in them because he thinks the tongue-tie surgery will make my sleep-time jaw clenching go away.
I know it is 'minor' surgery, but I don't think there is any such thing as minor surgery. Thank you for sharing this information with the whole planet : )
Why does he think the tongue tie surgery will make your clenching go away?
Hello Eric, can I ask how has your tongue evolved during this time? Thank you.
Just a thought... I do believe some cases of to guerra tie can be corrected before the age of 5, I was born with a tongue tie and doctors wanted to release it surgically, but my mom refused... She is a speech therapist and she had me on exercises up until I was 5 years old and it was corrected, my tongue moves freely and normally
It is not only about the movement, its also about the resting posture of the tongue. When the tongue is fixed to the floor more than it should have been, during rest it sits on the floor of the mouth, leaving the buccal muscular forces to act freely on the maxilla, making it narrow and collapsed. Which in turn will lead to a narrow nasal airway and list of problems that may ensue will keep on increasing.
Interesting you are speaking at slightly different angles.
EmbracesWithin you give a case example of exactly what I mean and talk about in the video. Use and function can affect a tongue tie.
tauseef khan, I would also agree with you that tongue ties can affect the resting posture of the tongue, with clear knock on effects, as you describe. What does interest me is that when people rest with their lips together all the time the effects of the tongue tie seem far less important and does not affect the resting posture of the tongue. #mikemew
@@Orthotropics I always have my lips closed but it seems a posterior tie makes it difficult to have the entire tongue testing at the roof. esp the back third. Or maybe it’s from not having an expanded enough palate
Could there be an epigenetic component with the tongue ties? For instance, maybe the parent did not receive enough folate and has a tie. Then his child has a tie, even if Mom consumes folate.. interesting ideas!!! Thank you!

Thanks for this video. But are there more tongue tie cases or people are more aware now? What do you think about the correlation between tongue tie and MTHFR?
I was not really looking hard before but it suddenly seems that tongue ties are everywhere. What is MTHFR?
Orthotropics MTHFR gene mutation
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency. There are not good data on the link, just speculation.
Do you think the hyoid bone could play a factor in tongue ties?
The hyoid bone is held back or affected I believe if you are tied
you are good doctor
2 dislikes are from the people who swallowed their tongue
Hi, Dr. Mew I love your work. I'm very grateful for all the information you have provided with your investigation, but I think you are missing the fact that humans are carnivores and this is crucial for understanding today problems and degeneration. Weston Price has one of the best studies in this field. You mentioned folic acid as a factor for the development of tongue ties. The best sources for folic acid (b9) are animal foods, not spinach as you mentioned. No plant compares to meat, because of the poor bioavalabilty, seeing as they contain fiber which is undigestible for humans.
Thanks for posting a video on this topic. I'm recommended for a tongue tie release for both my kids. One will be 5 yrs old this may and the other will be 2 in the same month. We're currently about to start doing some excercises with a therapist. I'm now doubting if the release surgery would benefit the kids at all. What's your recommendation on this?
Fyi the 2yr old is still breastfeeding and the 5yr old was breastfed for 2 and half years. I'm a full time working mom so almost all of the feeding has happened on night times and weekends only. I don't know if it matters.
Sorry but there is not enough evidence to say one way or the other. My personal thought at the moment is that unless someone has significant expansion, to change the environment, and thus the function of the tongue, then don't. #mikemew
Orthotropics Thank you very much for responding. I have been following your videos & presentations for over 6 months now. I'm learning a lot although at times I feel lost because experts in this area are hard to find. Your videos are very helpful. Keep up the good work.
I will be happy if you discuss ALF (Advanced Light Force). The same doctor has recommended ALF for my girl. I have no idea how that's different from orthotropics bioblock.
Thank you!
@@azeba7840 any updates?
@@user-p6-3561 daughter is now 9yrs old. Did the tongue tie release 4yrs ago. I haven't noticed any improvements. She did ALF, which helped give her more spaces but she still keeps her mouth open, we're recomended to encourage her to chew more to make her jaws stronger
@@azeba7840There appear to be other factors at play.
It's not like you release the "tie" and suddenly all your problems will be solved.
Like you said, you did the release for your daughter but it didn't really help.
So if something like tongue tie is even a thing, we can't expect that releasing the tie will solve everything.
Her i Dr. Mike Mew. I hope you would reply to my question here. I have a child who had tongue tie at 5months old. I did a laser surgery for her at 5 months. Then the tongue partially reattached (as per the lactation consultant). However we didn't do the tongue tie again and instead we did a lot of osteopathy sessions. Eventually breastfeeding succeeded. However at 2yo now she is still breast feeding but I see that she has a tendency to keep her mouth open. I try to watch her and it seems to me her tongue always between her teeth. I am not sure what's the best course of action at her age. Do I evaluate her for tongue tie and do the surgery again at 2yo. My fear it reattaches again. Also I am thinking might be better to wait till she's older and see if she can get her tethered tissue elongated as she establishes speech and exercise her tongue more.
Hi radolly1,
I am going to through the same concern now. Do you have any advise for me? It would mean a lot! Thanks in advance!
Just 2 weeks with tongue chewing im already seeing great result thank you dr mew
Does tongue chewing help with tongue tie?
I can not actually realize what they say. Please can anyone tell me that what to do actually if anyone have a tongue tie.
Hi, I don't know what to do. It seems like the release surgery has its risk, there's a new treatent called babylase, wich elongates the frenulum. May I ask how has your tongue going?
Sounds like tongue ties could be related to mthfr.
If I keep proper oral posture but have my front teeth touching instead of my molars, could it close the gap between my molars and fix my overbite?
I guess, but changing patterns of behavior is very difficult to achieve, especially on a subconscious level. #mikemew
Orthotropics is the chin suppose to stick out
No the chin is not supposed to stick out aka you're not supposed to be constantly jutting. Have your teeth naturally resting and if you do NOT have an overbite your chin won't stick out. Focus on your tongue pressing against your palate.
Denis Moser no like it sticks out anyway
BEGONE TOTS
1:20 when they see your mewing results
I am 17 . I have a tongue tie. How can I mew?
How my teeth should rest?
I have a receding Chin is that because of oral posture.Or Whats The cause?
Mainly yes. Improper breathing + improper swallowing + improper tongue posture = Borderline guaranteed downswing.
Denis Moser thanks Bro I have another question How Long will it take to see any results with mewing.My birthday was 10 days ago and now I'm 16.I have already Been mewing for 1 month but havent seen any results
Not 100% sure as everyone is different. But if you do it PROPERLY, which not everyone does, you should see noticeable improvements after 6 months. For me it was 4 though...
Denis Moser How old are you?
pravath krishnan I got one teeth removed 2 years ago could that be it?Because I have a String jawline on Both sides(Left side teeth removed)
But a weak chin
do you think that lip posture could affect class 2 division 2 malocclusion
Neal need a answer on this too^ could the bottom lip sitting over the top teeth be stopping the front to from forward growth? And how do we even the size of the lips? The top one seems to be smaller than the bottom from what I see
Hello I'm a 17 year old girl I
My face is collapsed I was a very cute child but now I am very unattractive and I'm very close to giving up on life. My forehead slopes I have no facial structure a huge nose because of this and slight facial asymmetry along with a crooked nose. I also belive I have a tongue tie. Is there any hope for me I deeplu struggle with mewing I cant seem to get the back up and suction it or hold it.i can't even begin to imagine how much all the facial cosmetic surgery I will need and the absolutely ungodly prices. Is there any reason to keep living
hey pls reconsider about giving up on your life
There are reason to be alive . Dont worry too much , be consistent with mewing you will see unimaginable results
@@dracula5205 thank you so much for commenting I truly appreciate your kindness
@@reddie5472 Its okay. Dont worry youtube and orthotropics is all you need . watch videos related to your issue and fix it . you can do it 💪
I hope you are good now
