This is touched on in other threads, but I wanted to throw the question out there to see what people think - especially as there doesn't seem to be much information on this elsewhere...
I've noticed that women with (imo) more attractive profiles often have convex foreheads, or at least ones which curve back at the top rather than being flat/straight from the hairline down to the eyebrows. I wonder if this is also a result/benefit of proper tongue posture, and another of the many noticeable changes that occur with persistent mewing.
I'm wondering about this because I've always had a "Roswell Gray" face shape from the front but a flat-as-a-pancake profile, except for a pointed nose; thus I've been eager to see more forward development of my maxilla. But just recently I noticed a curve to my forehead in profile that I'm not sure was there before - as if the changes from mewing are occurring from the top down rather than starting with the cheekbones as I had hoped. So I'm curious to know a) if a curved forehead is part of the package, for women at least and b) if so, how exactly this change progresses - if this is a response to other bones shifting in the skull, or if growth is actually taking place at a suture other than the intermaxillary(?) My face has seemed longer somehow since I started mewing full-time (i.e, since I ditched my retainer) and now I'm wondering if this is because I either have more forehead than I used to or because any curvature is creating the illusion of a taller forehead...
overly sloped foreheads are usually from a recessed maxilla so they tilt their heads to open up their airway subconsciously, so overtime if they keep this posture their skull adapts and their frontal bone collapses
To clarify, "sloped" to me implies an angled but otherwise straight line from hairline to brow ridge, which is not the same as curved/convex. What I had until recently was neither - basically a vertical frontal bone, maybe with a small degree of curvature at the hairline.
So if you are using "sloped" and "curved" interchangeably, are you saying that either is symptomatic of a recessed maxilla (which is not my observation) or simply that a flat (i.e, vertical) forehead is preferable to a straight-but-sloped one?
This may very well be the case, but is it possible to reverse this collapse is the main issue.
It's actually been months since I visited this site or thought about my forehead that much as I've been attending to other things. In any case I'm not talking about a forehead or maxilla "collapse" here; if anything an enhanced forehead curvature would be a good thing. Look at the profiles of women in general and especially those with forward-shifted maxillas and you will see what I mean.
Are you referring to the forehead bulge? Where the forehead portion is flush with the eyebrows?
I don't know if it would be flush with the eyebrows, but I'm referring to a pronounced convex (i.e., outward) curve to the portion of a woman's profile between the eyebrows and the hairline, as opposed to being a simple straight, vertical (or slanted) line. I don't know how else to describe this or why this would be so difficult to understand.
Look at the difference in the forehead shape between these two photos, if they posted. I did a simple copy/paste so I couldn't shrink them. In any case the first one is what I like better and the type of change I seemed to have observed when I began this thread.
That forehead bulge would most likely be due to a difference in phenotype. Since it is unlikely that it would be beneficial or connected in any way to proper maxillary positioning.
However, one possible cause of this may be due to the rotation of the head during growth. An upwards tilting head would cause the frontal bone to be elevated, relative to the occipital and temporal bones. This over time would cause the frontal bone to compensate by drooping and remodelling to keep the top of the head level. Make sense? That's my two cents on it anyways.
I noticed my forehead changed a little too. From profile view I had a straight line (from eyebrows to the hairline). Now I can see very very subtle convex. I am 31 old male, started mewing in February 2018
Thank you! Maybe it's not just my imagination, then...I would not have expected this observation in a man (no offense) but I suppose it's possible. My "bump" can be felt more than observed, but I was almost sure it wasn't there before.
