Live Science did a cool piece a while back about the effects aging has on the face.
So basically we can see how maxillary recession affects the whole face.
The interesting thing about all this is basically we can see how maxillary recession affects the whole face and allows gravity to work against us. The face gets pulled down since the upper arch has no support. Notice how the upper arch is lower in the second pic than the first. All from lack of support.
The skull also takes on head forward symptoms such as the mandible lengthening and forehead sloping. Basically maxillary upswing is what creates a youthful look in our faces while downswing causes people to age faster. But what is interesting of course is the article only mentions the upper jaw bone in passing.

Keep those tongues up there!
The biggest change though is the loss of fat pads and skin becomes less elastic, the bone changes aren't that prominent if you look at x-rays. IMO mewing will not make you look younger.
But not mewing will definitely make you look older. Correct oral posture will at least slow down the rate of deterioration.
It's debatable, but this is why I consider facial yoga as a complementary practice.

It probably will. I'm just saying the collagen, muscle and the fat pads have so much more influence on looking old or young, mewing has more influence on breathing better and so will indirectly be responsible for virility in old age.
Noses and chins come foward as we age. Nothing will stop that. Many top female cover models are class 2. The mandible grows how it wants. If it's far back... sure, bring it up when it grows. However, some orthodontists give a peppy look to kids. I believe it's because they overshoot their upper palatal expansion and the lower teeth don't know where they're supposed to go. The disconnect can create forward movement. That's my theory - have no basis for it beyond observation of orthodontists around.
A peppy look??
Noses and chins only become prominent due to the dentoalveolar retrusion that comes from aging. There may be some gravity effect involved on the nasal cartilage too.

Head forward posture can also affect gravity's pull on the mandible especially if the tongue rests on the floor of the mouth
