Okay, so I've heard that you need to touch your teeth slightly for mewing to work, but I literally can't touch my teeth at all! The only ones that I can touch just barely are the last ones in the back of my mouth. Is it really that necessary?
My child, you're mewing wrong...put the tip of your tongue on the incisive papillae.
Just behind the teeth.
That's what I'm doing! As well as the back and the middle part. They're all in the correct position. I'm just wondering if it's gonna do anything if I don't touch my teeth while doing it.
You need to put pressure on the teeth. Go to the mirror and play around with your tongue and get it right.

Ooooh, you think I was talking about the tongue touching the teeth! Nah, I'm having a problem with the upper teeth touching the lower teeth.
Oh...just adjust your mandible, like the people with overbites. Sorry about that. I really need to stop thinking selectively.

Alright, and how do I do that exactly? Sorry for asking, I'm really not too keen on all of this stuff.
It's okay. When I mentioned people doing this with their overbite, I meant that they jut their jaw out. Just move your jaw forwards.

Alright, well actually I have an underbite. Would that mean I should move the jaw backwards?
If possible, than yes. Don't forget moving the maxilla up and forwards will bring the teeth up and over.
