30yo 1 month mewing, I must say I was doing everything wrong I could do before starting, that's why my face is so fucked, long face, not chewing food, not chewing gum, soft foods, mouth breathing, bad tongue posture, bad head posture, everything I could do wrong I was doing it...

still ugly as shit but I notice significant differences in soft tissues... forget about the lips, because that is a work in progress...

bone will take longer to change

I didnt lost any weight

the acne is worse, I'm touching my face all the time :(

skin tone, eating one carrot per day...

mewing 24/7, taping mouth during the night, posture improvements, chewing 1 hour per day, Mike Mew swallow and chewing tecnique, went from constant mouth breathing to 0% mouth breathing during day and night.

I must add I'm a very ceptic guy but why not try it

 

I have two questions:

- do you have ideas how to make lips thinner? trying right now to implement last Mike Mew video about lip seal and lip length.

- any technique to diminush alveolar prognatism on the jaw? My jaw is not as recessed as it seems, I just have to push it back to fit under the upper teeth, I have prognatism... if I could fix the alveolar prognatism my jaw would go forward.

Any pics with your teeth showing? You seem to have an overactive mentalis which can make your lips look worse. Lip size is not genetic and muscle use can make your lips have better harmony to your face.

Gently suction hold your lips together. Don't press nor pout. 

You don't seem to have prognathism IMO. Weak chin =/= prognathism

right now I'm with the problem it told you via PM.

cant push upper teeth under the lower teeth

but this doesnt happen all the time, 50% of the time, only in the last 2 or 3 months, I believe it started to happen after I started jogging and other exercises.

Idk which position is the correct but the articulations dont pop when it is like this, and it pops when I push it back.

I have lip incompetence, cant close my mouth without effort. that overtime made my lips huge. and deformed all the soft tissue around.

I have  long face... I also have a strong lip tie on the upper lip, which acts as an elastic to push it up.

@dm222  Don't be upset that I share this with others... I know there may be complexities that are not accounted for here...

EVERYONE - LOOK AT HIS COLORATION IN THE AFTER!  He's super duper pale.  That is not healthy.  That is not a good airway.  That is BAD.  What you need to do is realize that stuff some guy says on YouTube may not be good for you.  Dr. Mew is an endangerment to airway... I've said it since Feb.  Sure... he cares about the airway BEHIND the face..  Chewing pushes up the maxilla.  CLEARLY this guy doesn't need his maxilla pushed up.  These little notions that you pick up on the internet are dangerous.

Mewing even said for lip incompetence to let the tongue atrophy.  MEW SAYS TO LET THE TONGUE ATROPHY..  There you go.  Also, taping just stretches the skin right out... especially as done the way shown above.  If you stretch your skin out... then your teeth will fill in the slack.  It's the tongue and lips fighting with teeth in the middle.  Holy schmoley.  I think he got his Mewing techniques off Youtube from that guy...  Brett Maverick.  Yuck.  Brett Maverick is sending in more messed up folks to this site than Dr. Mew ever did.  Get that guy down!  I reported this guy as dangerous on YouTube and what did YouTube do?!?!??!?!?  YouTube doesn't give a $#!( about you.

Also... what did you mean you're a very ceptic guy... if you're septic, you need to be in the hospital.

:P I am rather sure he meant "skeptical" :)

yes I'm pale but at the moment I'm actually less pale than I was in the past

can you explain what a pale skin  has to do with a healthy airway?

" only thing i can porpose is  that the cells of the skin get better oxygen because of the filter system in the nose instead of mouth breathing specialy at night so the body can rest.

Holy schmoley.  

Gary Drayton?

@mr-mewing It is well known by those in the airway treatment space that a pale coloration of skin (compared to what...?) is not great... so for example, if you see here: /community/community/main-forum/won-moon-patient-fixing-a-maxilla-jammed-up-high/#post-15324 you can see an improvement in coloration. The coloration also is less pale when... for example a recessed chin is advanced... That's why there are so many pale people with recessed chins.

@dm222 I totally did lose my wedding ring at the beach... and an awesome guy with a metal detector made some $ that day finding it for me! :-) Holy Schmoley!

@dm222,

That large, squashy appearance of the lips is lack of muscle tone--flabbiness, really. You will gain tone through the 4 goals of myofunctional therapy--lip seal, nose breathing at all times, tongue resting on the roof of the mouth, and appropriate swallow. If you still have a lip tie, you will need to get it addressed to be able to do those things. But as you gain in them, the appearance of the lips will resolve itself astonishingly. Take some good photos so you can see your improvements!!

@elevee
Yes I'm doing that, my problem is during the night I always mouth breathe...should I use tape?

@darkindigo
taping is not to blame, I never used tape in my life, only after the pictures were taken.

Update:
I had TMD when I started mewing, it went away in the last week.
That's why I found out mewing.

I cant edit my posts, I have a lip tie in the upper lip, actually a double lip tie, and a small one on the lower lip.

@dm222 That's strange to post a photo with taping mouth if you don't. Glad your TMD is being helped! Yay!!! :-) The site is having some troubles lately and hope they get fixed soon.

I do now sometimes but it was the first time.

I don't know much about lip taping. Some people say it helps, other people say it stretches the philtrum in a way they don't like. I would look for posters with some personal experience.

Glad you are seeing improvements! Do you have access to a doctor to consult about the lip ties? My understanding is that a regular physician could do the release, it doesn't have to be an specialist.

Here's myofunctional therapist Sarah Hornsby on resolving mouth breathing. I think she does skype sessions!

my face has 21 cm from hairline to chin, that is like percentil 99%

anyone here archieved a reduction on this?

also did you ever seen anyone with recessed chin, long face, but wide palate?
I can see 14 teeth smiling both jaw and maxila...

My intermolar width is 47mm and I can see at least 10 teeth on top, but my mandible is recessed by at least a centimeter, I have chronic dark circles, and 4 impacted wisdom teeth. So, yes.

Do you have an overbite?
In my case I dont.

My lower teeth and bone that support it are kind of protruded from the jaw to compensate.

Lower teeth are a bit tilted forwards too

is it possible for the ramus to increse in just two months, or is it an illusion?

seems like it came down a lot already
