Orthotropics should I sleep on my back? Also does nose length have anything to do with proper mewing? I’ve been a nose breather my whole life and I have tongue posture and proper swallowing. However my mid face is a little longer than I would have thought... thank you 😊
@@prince_sach50 3 months and you are expecting to see changes in facial form? Really? Percentage wise how many months in your entire life so far did you have poor oral posture + function and how many months do you have better OP&F (I would be shocked if it was close to perfect for much of the time now)? And you are expecting to see dramatic changes. Give it a year or so, continue to work hard and you will certainly get somewhere, but otherwise I only answer this question as an example for others to gain a clear understanding of the situation. NOTHING is going to occur in 3 months. It would make no sense that it does. You have started a path, keep going and in time you will see or feel benefits, but it takes time. This is possibly one of the most important things that you do in life. You do it for appearance reasons while I want to see the health benefits, either way it is really important that you take this message to spur you forwards. Make this the way that you are, change yourself for the better. But don't expect results in 3 months. Best wishes, and enjoy the journey. Mike
P.S. I should add that I am not going to give anyone an on-line consultation on their personal situation. All comments have to stay abstract and philosophical. Best wishes M
"It did seem really wrong that we whernt even told this was a possablity" exactly. More people should spread the word about these types of treatment. Tell family and friends who have children about orthotropics
Yesss! I DO .. I'M IN Pension now, but I will send this Video's of Doc Mew to my younger Collegs and to a lot of Pediatrics, too, and I will ask my very good Dentist (he's really a Specialist and a very good one!) if he is interested to have a look to this Videos! ;-)
This info should be shouted from the rooftops...so many people are walking around with ruined faces, health issues, and not meeting their potential b/c of not knowing the things stated in the video.
Jake shanks same, I told my sister (14) to mew but she didn't believe me for about 6 months, she finally started mewing a month and a half ago and oh boy, these kids can have changes so fast!
I had a similar condition, though not as severe, it was mainly caused by incorrect orthodontic treatment and teeth removal at a young age. I had corrective surgery at 28 years old, and the result was life changing of course. I am now a 35 year old man and can't help but cry tears of joy while watching this. Well done to all of you.
Same now I'm 15 they said I'd get surgery at 17... Why are people so scared of surgery though like are there problems that could happen long term? Bc seeing others trying to avoid it at all costs makes me scared 😢
@@bluesoul1260 I had upper and lower jaw surgery at 15 and it was to prevent issues that happen in adulthood. Not trying to scare you, but it's the one thing in my life that I wish I'd never done.
Me too. Though I doubt that it would have happened for me even if we had known. I was a complete dental phobic and my family wouldn't have had the money. Let's pray that this replaces traditional orthodontics in the future.
@@bluesoul1260 I recently had double jaw surgery and honestly I couldn’t be happier. If it’s something that’s bothering you I’d say just go and do it. Best decision I’ve made, it’s improved my confidence and everything. If you have any questions I’m happy to answer them.

Someone mentioned sleeping position and this article came to mind; www.ericdavisdental.com/facial-orthotropics-for-your-child/why-raise-unhealthy-children/why-cause-crooked-skulls-and-crooked-bodies/sleep-posture-affects-facial-development.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3CGoSqARW9yrjMZuo53gZNCzyyUxIL4Bm17K1JXuCQBB5oGeOWmSo-kS0
Orthotropics omg, that’s why my right side looks so crushed. I’m like missing 1/4 of my right. I’m a full grown adult who has been mewing for over a year. Even though i’ve seen some good changes, my right side is still ‘crushed’. I hope to see if there is a way to fix this. Some one said i should mew harder om my right side...
I can see why Back sleeping is important for Facial development to maintain balance and symmetry of the face and jaws. However side sleeping provides the effect of the glypmatic system by using CSF to clear out plaque and toxins in our brain. So I should do Side sleeping one benefit or Back sleeping for the other 🤔

Beautiful work man. You’ve got my admiration both as a professional and as a human being. I’m 44 years old, and I don’t expect much change in my facial features. But you know what the best part is? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that I do my daily practice, and that I’m happy to do it. Slowly, slowly, everyday I move from an unconscious posture to a conscious one. That makes me happy. And if I can give my children a positive influence, a good example, and help them grow and develop well on their path, I’m much more than happy. Thanks for the great work.
Hey! Not so much on my teeth (that have always been a bit forward), but for sure on my tongue and jaw muscles. After a couple of years, I can say that my tongue has shifted positions to the "ceiling" of the mouth pretty much for good. No need to think about it, it's just there (even though I still do my practice out of maintenance's sake). About the jaws, I haven't seen much visual difference, but it certainly feels strong. And about "not seeing much change in my facial features", perhaps that's a good thing considering I'm 46, and not getting any younger 😄 Idk, perhaps there's a correlation there, between getting older withou having our facial features drop to the ground. Id love to hear what Mike thinks about that line of thinking. Hope you're all doing good. Cheers!
I have had this condition for 50 years and yes i can tell you i have very low self-esteem. I feel so happy for you that you came across Dr. Mew early in Pollys' life. Blessings. xx
I really love what Polly's Mum said in 11:20 Thank you so much for your work, since I got to know about mewing I've changed so much, and I'm not talking physically (but I mean it, too) but mentally I'm in so much better place than I was before. Mewing was that one thing which explained all of my struggles. Orthotropics is a thing world should definetly know about, love from Poland
Awesome documentary! This could be a movie, I can see mike mew's passion and determination to change the lives of these people and def he is one of the living heroes in today's world.. you saved my life dr. and Im forever grateful.. 32 and mewing for a year and a half, noticed my jaw defined and cheeks widened..
Mewing absolutely changed my life. I am eternally grateful I have found out about this. I used to hate myself. My appearance and everything. The right side of my face was absolutely underdeveloped. I had an awfully assymetric face. Then I started mewing and I'm sure that that helped me to like myself more. Who knows the effects that TMJ, and craniofascial dystrophy have on mood. The connection between the vagus nerve and the digestive system... And hence serotonin production. Idk. But however, since July last year I've been stable. And my mental issues were heavy. I'm not saying it was the only thing that helped me, but I wonder how much of my recovery can be attributed to mewing and its positive effects. Now my face is almost symmetrical, I still have crooked lower teeth, but I'm finally content with who I am. Thank you so much, Massi 🖤🌿
Bro, i have the exact same problem, one side of my face is different, i have an asimetrical face and that makes me very insecure, how long have you been doing mewing? And how old are you? Please answer, please
Carl Ju brother calm down, almost everyone have an asymmetrical safe it's not a big deal. Mewing will definitely help if you're under 25, but work on our posture too. A lot of people with asymmetrical face also have asymmetrical neck, so yo need to work on your neck too ,by stretching the stiff muscles. Overall body posture is very important, as important as mewing. I started mewing 6 months ago, I'm19, I'm already seeing some good results. Do not hard mew, it can cause even more asymmetry. Good luck.
Carl Ju yes that is possible, trying stretching you're neck and shoulders, you'll feel one side in more stiffer than the other, Work on that and also mewing takes time, be patient and consistent.
What is not mentioned in this video if she went the traditional orthodontics or surgery route she'd be highly likely to have severe sleep apnea /tmj /chronic pain problems. Mike saved this girl and hundreds of others from the sick alternative.
I guess, she just got braces. I know someone who had a similar problem and she just had braces. As he said, the brace pull the upper teeth forward and the form of the upper jaw change. It works well in kids
@@heidip1782 no Heidi he's referring to orthotropic treatment. Where he uses reverse pull headgear to pull her top jaw forward. If she got traditional orthodontics they'd do the exact opposite. They would push her bottom jaw back and extract teeth. This would damage her health
@@psz90 im not so much informed about the procedure. But I'm pritt sure, in my country (Austria) they don't push bottom jaw backwards. I just knew one person with a similar problem and she got braces which pulled the upper jaw forward. It's normal here to do it that way
@@heidip1782 Heidi it's not possible with braces alone to pull top jaw forwards. You may be able to get some expansion of the palate but not movement of the posterior maxilla. Newtons laws of physics require that an anchor is placed in order to move the entire jaw forward which is why Dr Mew uses the headgear
Some body please tell him that facemask has been part of orthodontic treatment for 150 years you are just ignorant on which this guy is praying off off
Although it was an emotional rollercoaster for me knowing my face was damaged by headgear braces, I'm thankfull you share this important message. My daughter and little niece are blessed 💕
I wish someone had told my parents about ortho tropic treatment when I was little. I was told when I was 14 I would probably need surgery to correct my class 3 bite. Fast forward to last September when I did have the surgery (I’m 18). I don’t regret having surgery but I do wish the problem was dealt with and bypassed altogether
VikingTheDude pretty happy. My teeth fit together now and so my smile isn’t as awkward. Also, because I had an underbite and cross bite before surgery, my face is more symmetrical now. Breathing through my nose and chewing are easier. My profile is better looking. I just wonder if mewing would help me at all to get more forward growth, or if the plates and screws that are now in my face would prevent that.
@@reaganhadaway6619 I see. I was 13 when I first noticed my class 3 bite developing. It had probably been developing way before that. It became very obvious by the time I was 15. Being a teen an all, I was so embarrassed for having it and would try it hide it from others as much as I could. I would keep my jaw slightly open 24x7 because that way, it wasn't immediately obvious my lower jaw protruded forward. I kept myself in denial that way till I was 21. Once I had come to terms with it, I felt so liberated. It was only then that I realised my self confidence issues hadn't just come from out of nowhere, that it wasn't an inherent flaw in my personality. That's when I decided to seek treatment. I'm 23 now. I'm 1.5 years into my treatment using braces. When I had to choose between braces and surgery, all the dentist's I consulted said my condition wasn't bad enough to warrant surgery. Now nearing the end of my treatment, I feel a lot better. The treatment only fixed my teeth, so my lower jaw still clearly protrudes outwards, and my upper jaw is still set back a bit. But I feel less awkward when I smile. When I'm out with people, I no longer feel like a piranha whose lower canines are jutting out. I sometimes wonder what would've been if I had gotten surgery. But I'm happy with even the progress I've made. Now I'm trying to build my confidence back up again.
Dr mew when will you upload the animated series of proper mewing,chewing, swallowing,tongue sweep? I am really waiting for those as i don't know how to put a tongue sweep
Such an inspiration! Polly is very fortunate that her mum lesrned of Dr. Mew and his orthotropic approach. One would think that traditional orthodontists would offer their patients this treatment.
@Princess of Fireflies have you actually taken xrays? Becuase most people claim to have changes so much while it's mostly just soft tissue getting firmer
Hey, if possible, have a consult with Mike Mew with your x-rays and he can guide you to what can be done (as of now, maybe it's surgery). We cannot change what has happened, but we can choose what we do now. 😊 You are only 28 and have so much more time!
I just could start crying together with Doc MEW.... I can say, that all my Babies, there are nearly 5000 which I helped the Mothers to be come out to their "real Life" are also a part of me and got a place in my Heart! They are a bit also my Babies!
She still beautiful I had a slight underbite like your daughter and I didn’t get treatment of age 13 in 1976 was for extractions never was talking about expanders
I remember begging my dentist not to send me to the orthodontist. I even asked him if drinking milk everyday would straighten my teeth. I refused to believe that braces were necessary. I got put through so much shit. And after straightening them and wearing retainers. They bent again a few months later. Meaning I wasted time, money and torment as a child dealing with that shit. In the end I gained nothing. Im mewing everyday now. And I love difficult challenges. I wish you were around when I was a kid. You are doing God's work.
if you have an actual malocclusion that is skeletal in nature rather than dental, then braces aren’t going to fix it. neither is mewing. the physical bones are malformed therefore they need to be corrected with surgery. if your malocclusion was only dental, then there’s no reason they would shift back to where they were unless you were not wearing your retainers correctly, retainers need to be worn nightly for life to retain your teeth’s position.
I love how this unconventional orthotropics not only changes the appearance of a person but also set them the right mindset about correcting posture in everyday life. Usually, people who used normal orthodontics will only rely on the technology and not make actual attempts to stop bad habits causing dental and facial problems, because they have always thought that facial abnormalities can't get better without operations or high technology methods. But prevention is better than cure. What really matters is awareness, since awareness results in actions to refrain oneself from having bad postures again. Those who have been through orthotropics and mewing, and those who simply believe in this whole theory will have an overall awareness of their tongue posture, sitting posture and sleeping posture; therefore, they strive to enhance them by themselves
skeletal malocclusions can be GENETIC. you cannot “prevent” getting a gene that causes abnormal growth in your jaw bones????? 3 other people in my immediate family have this skeletal malocclusion. no amount of correct “posture” could have changed this for me. posture cannot move your fully grown malformed adult jaw bones. this is so misinformed. there is a reason that surgery is commonplace for severe skeletal malocclusions in adults, thats because it is the most reliable, precise, well studied, and least risk of relapse.
I have a horrible underbite my mom spent thousands on braces, retainers teeth pulled 12 in total when I was young and it seems all for naught. I wish I had this perspective or option. Your a great man ❤️
To this day when I shut my jaw I can easily stick most of my tongue out. It's a huge confidence killer so to see this girl beat the odds it's so great to see
Is there an online source that contains a directory of information of professionals who apply SMRE and ALF appliances here in the west coast of the United States?
@@OrthotropicsI’m getting orthodontic treatment for my class3. It will involve extractions of the lower premolars. Is there any other way I’m 19 years old?
My name is Ola , I am 18 years, and have been mewing for 5 months now, I also have an underbite and am hoping to see results from mewing, but I have noticed no changes so far. Polly's story has really motivated me, hopefully in the future i will see results from mewing
olaoluwa odeyemi same situation. I have very mild underbite, and I have been mewing for 4 month, I noticed that my maxilla moved forward a bit, I think it will rly help us in 2 year only
@@kozumelubs1574 no. you need to see an orthodontist to determine whether the underbite is dental (caused by the position of the teeth) or skeletal (caused by the position of the bone). if it’s dental, it can likely be corrected through braces +heavy elastics. if it’s skeletal, there’s a pretty good chance it can only be corrected through surgery. this is coming from someone who had double jaw surgery for a class III malocclusion.
I had this same exact problem growing up, probably even worse. If only i had known about orthotropics back then. Thankfully i’m still 18 so hopefully it’s not too late.
@@princessrosedewitt8400 I’ve just been trying to mew as much as I can, whenever I can. It’s not really working all that well but i’m saving up to go see an orthotropic dentist.
@@ejm821 go to an orthodontist, not an orthotropic dentist. an orthodontist can determine whether the underbite is skeletal or dental in nature, and whether or not you need braces + elastics, or surgery. mewing + orthotropic treatment does not work on people whose jaws are already fully formed. you can’t move or shift or grow your bones through mewing.
I have an overbite and it is so annoying I keep biting my tongue really badly and can't seem to get anywhere with dentist it's like they don't want to help really
HI There, I was wondering, if I don't like the occlusion(I'm not quite sure if that is the right terminology, but asentaly, if in the resting position of my jaw, my lover teeth are too much abstructed by the upper teeth, causing the jaw to also be further back) is it advisable to train my mouth to find a better resting position
i got a question i have like a retainer or something on 4 of my teeth its behind so like if i smile u can't see it (sorry if i cant explain it good bad english) but can i still get a good result with mewing
2 years of headgear half the day in a young girl closed a 12mm underbite. Im an 18M and if I could close even half of that distance in my upper jaw it would be amazing. Wishing I lived in england for this :(

Incredible, wonderful and so inspiring story!!❤️
Love the video! I'd love to see similar things about more grown up people.
Grown ups will not change as fast as Polly but over time change does happen, it's just slow and it takes a lot of effort. Admin
Awesome documentary! This could be a movie, I can see mike mew's passion and determination to change the lives of these people and def he is one of the living heroes in today's world.. you saved my life dr. and Im forever grateful.. 32 and mewing for a year and a half, noticed my jaw defined and cheeks widened..
Mewing absolutely changed my life. I am eternally grateful I have found out about this. I used to hate myself. My appearance and everything. The right side of my face was absolutely underdeveloped. I had an awfully assymetric face.
Then I started mewing and I'm sure that that helped me to like myself more. Who knows the effects that TMJ, and craniofascial dystrophy have on mood. The connection between the vagus nerve and the digestive system... And hence serotonin production. Idk. But however, since July last year I've been stable. And my mental issues were heavy. I'm not saying it was the only thing that helped me, but I wonder how much of my recovery can be attributed to mewing and its positive effects. Now my face is almost symmetrical, I still have crooked lower teeth, but I'm finally content with who I am.
Thank you so much,
Massi 🖤🌿
Happy for you brother! I hope it works the same for me. I don't like my appearance too.
Bro, i have the exact same problem, one side of my face is different, i have an asimetrical face and that makes me very insecure, how long have you been doing mewing? And how old are you? Please answer, please
Carl Ju brother calm down, almost everyone have an asymmetrical safe it's not a big deal.
Mewing will definitely help if you're under 25, but work on our posture too. A lot of people with asymmetrical face also have asymmetrical neck, so yo need to work on your neck too ,by stretching the stiff muscles. Overall body posture is very important, as important as mewing. I started mewing 6 months ago, I'm19, I'm already seeing some good results.
Do not hard mew, it can cause even more asymmetry.
Good luck.
@@naches3844 i have the same age. Also something about me is that i have a shoulder higher than the other, i think that also affects my asimetry
Carl Ju yes that is possible, trying stretching you're neck and shoulders, you'll feel one side in more stiffer than the other, Work on that and also mewing takes time, be patient and consistent.
What is not mentioned in this video if she went the traditional orthodontics or surgery route she'd be highly likely to have severe sleep apnea /tmj /chronic pain problems. Mike saved this girl and hundreds of others from the sick alternative.
I guess, she just got braces. I know someone who had a similar problem and she just had braces. As he said, the brace pull the upper teeth forward and the form of the upper jaw change. It works well in kids
@@heidip1782 no Heidi he's referring to orthotropic treatment. Where he uses reverse pull headgear to pull her top jaw forward. If she got traditional orthodontics they'd do the exact opposite. They would push her bottom jaw back and extract teeth. This would damage her health
@@psz90 im not so much informed about the procedure. But I'm pritt sure, in my country (Austria) they don't push bottom jaw backwards. I just knew one person with a similar problem and she got braces which pulled the upper jaw forward. It's normal here to do it that way
@@heidip1782 Heidi it's not possible with braces alone to pull top jaw forwards. You may be able to get some expansion of the palate but not movement of the posterior maxilla. Newtons laws of physics require that an anchor is placed in order to move the entire jaw forward which is why Dr Mew uses the headgear
Some body please tell him that facemask has been part of orthodontic treatment for 150 years you are just ignorant on which this guy is praying off off
Although it was an emotional rollercoaster for me knowing my face was damaged by headgear braces, I'm thankfull you share this important message. My daughter and little niece are blessed 💕
Im sorry to hear this. How was your face damaged ?
@@PlentitudeIsland flat cheekbones, crooked nose, recessed chin.
@@fadjeja3141 how did you have a underbite or overbite ? And did u have crooked teeth
@@sorryantisocial2238 due to mouthbreathing and thumbsucking. I wasn't breastfed.
My honest respects for the fantastic job you've been doing sir.
Mike miew absolute sweet heart you are thank you for all you do for people
Great work, sir mike.
I wish someone had told my parents about ortho tropic treatment when I was little. I was told when I was 14 I would probably need surgery to correct my class 3 bite. Fast forward to last September when I did have the surgery (I’m 18). I don’t regret having surgery but I do wish the problem was dealt with and bypassed altogether
How happy are you with the results of your surgery?
VikingTheDude pretty happy. My teeth fit together now and so my smile isn’t as awkward. Also, because I had an underbite and cross bite before surgery, my face is more symmetrical now. Breathing through my nose and chewing are easier. My profile is better looking. I just wonder if mewing would help me at all to get more forward growth, or if the plates and screws that are now in my face would prevent that.
@@reaganhadaway6619 I see. I was 13 when I first noticed my class 3 bite developing. It had probably been developing way before that. It became very obvious by the time I was 15. Being a teen an all, I was so embarrassed for having it and would try it hide it from others as much as I could. I would keep my jaw slightly open 24x7 because that way, it wasn't immediately obvious my lower jaw protruded forward. I kept myself in denial that way till I was 21. Once I had come to terms with it, I felt so liberated. It was only then that I realised my self confidence issues hadn't just come from out of nowhere, that it wasn't an inherent flaw in my personality. That's when I decided to seek treatment. I'm 23 now. I'm 1.5 years into my treatment using braces. When I had to choose between braces and surgery, all the dentist's I consulted said my condition wasn't bad enough to warrant surgery. Now nearing the end of my treatment, I feel a lot better. The treatment only fixed my teeth, so my lower jaw still clearly protrudes outwards, and my upper jaw is still set back a bit. But I feel less awkward when I smile. When I'm out with people, I no longer feel like a piranha whose lower canines are jutting out. I sometimes wonder what would've been if I had gotten surgery. But I'm happy with even the progress I've made. Now I'm trying to build my confidence back up again.
Such an amazing and dedicated mom.
Incredible and amazing work by mike mew and his father this should be the norm like she said
Dr mew when will you upload the animated series of proper mewing,chewing, swallowing,tongue sweep? I am really waiting for those as i don't know how to put a tongue sweep
Arup Saha yeah I understand everything about mewing except the tongue sweep
Such an inspiration! Polly is very fortunate that her mum lesrned of Dr. Mew and his orthotropic approach. One would think that traditional orthodontists would offer their patients this treatment.
I love you guys ♡ you're all amazing! Our bodies are amazing! You're so beautiful & brave, Polly ♡
Thanks Roberta 👍🏼
Epic! Good job Mike Mew, thank god you've studied orthodontics and left all of them behind because you found a way that TRULY cures the patient.
Stay safe sir, we need you
Incredible work
7:52 never seen him so happy, gives me warm feelings =3
Take me back 10 years please 😅😫
Dare to help your child's future. Good news. Fight
Back. Fight hard. Tears of joy !🍀💕💜
I am completely and utterly deformed. Im 28 and im doing all the mewing but I’ve probably reached my natural peak. Great to see she got help in time!
pmiller I am sorry. Do not loose hope..
Lefort 3
@Princess of Fireflies have you actually taken xrays? Becuase most people claim to have changes so much while it's mostly just soft tissue getting firmer
Hey, if possible, have a consult with Mike Mew with your x-rays and he can guide you to what can be done (as of now, maybe it's surgery). We cannot change what has happened, but we can choose what we do now. 😊 You are only 28 and have so much more time!
wow, thanks for the share, doc
7:40 this just breaks my heart
I cried like a little girl. Thanks dude
Thanks
Really appreciate
Mr mew
Oh my goodness that girls happy smile made me cry at the end
I just could start crying together with Doc MEW.... I can say, that all my Babies, there are nearly 5000 which I helped the Mothers to be come out to their "real Life" are also a part of me and got a place in my Heart!
They are a bit also my Babies!
Very passionate MD
Great result! Is it possible to apply the same method for someone who's 20?
Just look at his excitement, he is a gem, thank you dear doctor.
My hard mewing practice is a little more intense than usual after this video
Great to see! Mewing all the way!
Treat the causes!
You are a top lad, Mike Mew.
Amazing!!! Wish I had you years ago!
Beautiful!
She still beautiful I had a slight underbite like your daughter and I didn’t get treatment of age 13 in 1976 was for extractions never was talking about expanders
The GOAT is back
Goat?
Greatest of all time.
@@ginderellablue lmfao. I thought he was saying mew looked like a goat 😂😂
This is amazing.
I remember begging my dentist not to send me to the orthodontist. I even asked him if drinking milk everyday would straighten my teeth. I refused to believe that braces were necessary. I got put through so much shit. And after straightening them and wearing retainers. They bent again a few months later. Meaning I wasted time, money and torment as a child dealing with that shit. In the end I gained nothing. Im mewing everyday now. And I love difficult challenges. I wish you were around when I was a kid. You are doing God's work.
if you have an actual malocclusion that is skeletal in nature rather than dental, then braces aren’t going to fix it. neither is mewing. the physical bones are malformed therefore they need to be corrected with surgery. if your malocclusion was only dental, then there’s no reason they would shift back to where they were unless you were not wearing your retainers correctly, retainers need to be worn nightly for life to retain your teeth’s position.
I love how this unconventional orthotropics not only changes the appearance of a person but also set them the right mindset about correcting posture in everyday life. Usually, people who used normal orthodontics will only rely on the technology and not make actual attempts to stop bad habits causing dental and facial problems, because they have always thought that facial abnormalities can't get better without operations or high technology methods. But prevention is better than cure. What really matters is awareness, since awareness results in actions to refrain oneself from having bad postures again. Those who have been through orthotropics and mewing, and those who simply believe in this whole theory will have an overall awareness of their tongue posture, sitting posture and sleeping posture; therefore, they strive to enhance them by themselves
skeletal malocclusions can be GENETIC. you cannot “prevent” getting a gene that causes abnormal growth in your jaw bones????? 3 other people in my immediate family have this skeletal malocclusion. no amount of correct “posture” could have changed this for me. posture cannot move your fully grown malformed adult jaw bones. this is so misinformed. there is a reason that surgery is commonplace for severe skeletal malocclusions in adults, thats because it is the most reliable, precise, well studied, and least risk of relapse.
This is all extremely valuable for me as a youngster for when I will have kids later.
Mike and his father are revolutionary.
I have a horrible underbite my mom spent thousands on braces, retainers teeth pulled 12 in total when I was young and it seems all for naught. I wish I had this perspective or option. Your a great man ❤️
To this day when I shut my jaw I can easily stick most of my tongue out. It's a huge confidence killer so to see this girl beat the odds it's so great to see
@@shaneduncan7309 I've got the same issue. Mine is class 3 malocclusion. Yours?
@@hh-qy8zt mine also class 3 what treatment are you seeking?
Is there an online source that contains a directory of information of professionals who apply SMRE and ALF appliances here in the west coast of the United States?
hope you live well into old age, I can see grey hair coming in
"If you don't question what's currently the norm, how will anyone progress?" Amen.
Something I wish would be more available in other parts of the world.
What an adorable man !!!!!
Where can we contact You and Mr John Mew, please?
This is a problem, as too many people are wanting to contact me all the time and I am swamped.
@@Orthotropics Yes, I imagine :) but is it any platform that you check regularly and so by chance you could see my questions?
@@MR__-ly5lr good point, I will make a new post above, please like it and it might stay near the top
@@OrthotropicsI’m getting orthodontic treatment for my class3. It will involve extractions of the lower premolars. Is there any other way I’m 19 years old?
I have the same problem I grew up and learned to love myself.. I have pics posted .. look at my beautiful big jaw it's not a disease.
I hope one day I have a jaw that looks as good as dr Mike Mew.
My name is Ola , I am 18 years, and have been mewing for 5 months now, I also have an underbite and am hoping to see results from mewing, but I have noticed no changes so far. Polly's story has really motivated me, hopefully in the future i will see results from mewing
olaoluwa odeyemi same situation. I have very mild underbite, and I have been mewing for 4 month, I noticed that my maxilla moved forward a bit, I think it will rly help us in 2 year only
Be patient. It takes time and the younger you start mewing the better the results.
can mewing fix an underbite?
@@kozumelubs1574 no. you need to see an orthodontist to determine whether the underbite is dental (caused by the position of the teeth) or skeletal (caused by the position of the bone). if it’s dental, it can likely be corrected through braces +heavy elastics. if it’s skeletal, there’s a pretty good chance it can only be corrected through surgery. this is coming from someone who had double jaw surgery for a class III malocclusion.
please see an orthodontist. mewing will not do anything when your jaw is already done growing.
OMG
Time passes and Mike Mew jaw looks even bigger
I had this same exact problem growing up, probably even worse. If only i had known about orthotropics back then. Thankfully i’m still 18 so hopefully it’s not too late.
Can i ask...What are you doing now ? What you did to correct it...
Any tip or advice ?
@@princessrosedewitt8400 I’ve just been trying to mew as much as I can, whenever I can. It’s not really working all that well but i’m saving up to go see an orthotropic dentist.
@@ejm821 go to an orthodontist, not an orthotropic dentist. an orthodontist can determine whether the underbite is skeletal or dental in nature, and whether or not you need braces + elastics, or surgery. mewing + orthotropic treatment does not work on people whose jaws are already fully formed. you can’t move or shift or grow your bones through mewing.
I have an overbite and it is so annoying I keep biting my tongue really badly and can't seem to get anywhere with dentist it's like they don't want to help really
Real doctor👏👏👏👏👏
What a smart kid
What a beautifull, smart ! girl.
HI There, I was wondering, if I don't like the occlusion(I'm not quite sure if that is the right terminology, but asentaly, if in the resting position of my jaw, my lover teeth are too much abstructed by the upper teeth, causing the jaw to also be further back) is it advisable to train my mouth to find a better resting position
Dr mew looks great
Hello Mike, do you mind if I write subtitles in Spanish for some of your videos?
Please do! Thanks.
I can write romanian ones, however not sure how to add them. Will figure it out though.
i got a question i have like a retainer or something on 4 of my teeth its behind so like if i smile u can't see it (sorry if i cant explain it good bad english) but can i still get a good result with mewing
It’s called a permanent retainer i have them too. To answer your question i think so
2 years of headgear half the day in a young girl closed a 12mm underbite. Im an 18M and if I could close even half of that distance in my upper jaw it would be amazing. Wishing I lived in england for this :(
Can I get an orthotropic treatment in Serbia, or somewhere near?
