Hello Guys,
I have been mewing for 4 months and I just turned 17. I have not really gained any progress from mewing because of my narrow palate / minor crossbite.
I can not have proper oral posture/Mew properly. First of all the tip of the tongue should be behind the front teeth, I cannot do this because of a large cave/hump that reaches out an inch. I also have large alveolar ridges which narrows my palate even more so I cant place the full tongue on the roof of the mouth, I can however put the posterior third without any breathing discomfort.
The Imgur is linked so please check the photos and tell me what should I do. I live in Bradford UK, and its hard to see a proper orthodontist that knows what hes doing: Palatal expansion etc.
Theres also a photo linked of me 1 year ago, as you can see i didnt have some of the problems I have now, I just turned 16 there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is really making me depressed, no ones really helping and Ive contacted Dr Mike Mew many times but hes too busy to answer :(
Thank you.
Id reccomend an expander it seems like itd be very difficult to make progress with just tongue posture until around a 38 mm IMW
Well if you cant find a good orthotropic/orthodontic there is no better way than just being persistent with your tongue forces although it is really uncomfortable. My palate is also small but I'm doing the best I can to expand it naturally as there's 0% chance of me finding someone to help me with that because I live in Serbia and no one here knows sh1t about mewing and that kinda stuff. I know its difficult, but I am sure if you keep working hard it will pay off, we can do it!
