I have received problems from Mewing. Yesterday, I landed on one thing that lowered my high maxilla. I did a tongue suction hold on my palate and created a surface area tension with saliva to try and bring my palate down. Surprisingly it worked! However, it was primarily on one side only.
Already, I’m starting to get some eyelid height back. Really exciting. For all you guys out there who think hooded eyes a cool.. you may think again in older age should you need to get a surgical procedure to trim your overgrown eyelids. Yes - this is a thing. No, it does not look pretty. Yes, guys get it!
The suction hold brought down your maxilla?
Doing a suction hold with intent and direction of lowering maxilla did lower maxilla (albeit unevenly). Pretty excited, though.
There are many reasons to want to lower maxilla...
1) nasal airway & associated mental health/anxiety/other breathing-related issues.
2) TMD & associated muscular strain
3) open bite
4) appearance of eyes - especially where the eyes are in relation to the brow bone.
5) improved health from oxygenation
Not a troll. LOL

6) reduced risk of needing eyelid surgery - often done when eyelids sag into vision of eyes. This is pretty common for those older... but never too early to think about!
I’m opposed to stupid orthotropics. Most don’t know what they’re doing, really.
You lowered your maxilla in one day? That's unbelievable.
