@progress Wow, wasn't expecting such quality content tho. Thanks a lot !

Hey, where do you get these quotes from ? I might be interested in the lecture. Thanks

Interesting thread. Thank you for the pictures and documentation ! Keep us updated

Simple answer is "just don't melt" lol. This right degenerated side of mine has been improving over past years, and the ear has moved little by lit...

Wow it's actually some new content He theoricises about the tongue tip and back third!

@alphaminus Where does this test come from ? I sure can feel movements. But I need the source to give it credit !

Btw if I heal it I shit on all the expert ENTs that told me it was non-reversible and it couldn't have a mecanical cause

Anecdotically, I melted from one side of my face, and this degenerated side has a unparallel ear (ear is far from the "head plane"), whereas the goo...

Damn happened the exact same to me !!!!

I'm upping this topic, the fact it could be muscle related aroused my curiosity Anyone did facial exercises with success ?

Of course I did it knowing I had to keep an efficient tongue posture. Actually I think it's been 2 years not 1. During my sleep I sometimes wake up wi...

Lol I have the same. I remember someone mocking me back to when I was like 11 yo about that. I also have diagonal lines under the eyes, a bit as bags ...

It just depends on the case. Lots of people don't seem to have too much retruded mandible and it won't pose any problem. I might be wrong but as an ex...

I would seriously advice against chewing when you have overly retruded mandible, temporalis tension and so on. I know the jaws are made for chewing, b...

I can witness. My orthodontist told that I had to take a retainer as much as I could all day long for ~18months IIRC for the nerve to adapt and teeth ...

To answer your previous post (which I think you might have deleted ?) I read a bit the first page and I have to assume this all look still mysterious ...

I haven't read the entire thread. That being said, discussing about the roles of different mastication muscles in jaw physiology is very interesting. ...

That was my idea as well these last few weeks. I wonder what others think about that, especially @wardellstephencurry @Progress and @neveragain , sinc...

@shell Thanks, might it be a way to move maxilla up and forward then, and then stop clenching to avoid headaches & other bad stuff?

It was already a known fact as John Mew already mentionned it in one video. I can't remember whichone and what he exactly said but the information was...

From what I read (and experienced) teeth shift is predictable. I think chewing in excess can cause such malocclusion types, if we intrude too much of ...

And the main post is of course very interesting, the hyoid bone placement seem to have some really important functions in aesthetic and function. Imma...

From what I understand, "clicking" in this situation is not too bad for the TMJs. It is when your lower jaw lack forward forward movement / forward po...

I think so, I don't know exactly how it would affect the looking tho. If there's something that reduces face's height I take it. In addition my mandib...

Well, figure two and three on results tab says it all. The "shortening of the ramus" is more of a shortening of the total height of the mandible, i.e...

Thank you for the find! Regarding the ramus, it depends on what they call the ramus? If you are degenerate thus with a high gonial angle, the ramus is...

To me, your lips seem more aligned after. However only 2 photos without measuring is too innacurate to hold judgements. At least it is not worse, keep...

For some reasons it won't let me edit or upload anything. I will try again later.

I am 20yo, so not a child but still not adult. Eventhough I'm not doubting it would be easier for children to correct a gummy smile; with all the good...

It would be awesome to see your palate before/after and your smile, to see how the palate expands, flattens, how teeth tilt, how your smile and its bl...

You are the audacious heroes we need

To me, you are just jutting your mandible and your neck forward. I can improve my face instantly in the mirror with that "method" too. Am I wrong ?

That's unfortunate. On this pic you seem good looking from this front angle, you indeed have decent cheekbones which give a "hunter" look. Btw, yo...

Don't you have a before pic with the same angle to compare ?

So basically IMV increase with back tongue Mewing should improve the eye tilt right? Does the palate decrease in height while increasing in width? Any...

Chew and poverty ? Can't you be clearer, nobody's gonna sue you

Yep, there are plenty. An appropriate muscle tone can be enough to mitigate the damage of a recessed maxilla. (beauty-speaking) Just check Ryan Goslin...

be careful the heat could melt the maxilla even more

Don't you have a tongue tie that keeps you from doing that ? I don't know the english name but there's something under my tongue which get stretched w...

same

It is definitely linked. From the moment I had TMJ disorders I started having atlas misplacing and rear neck pain. Like so much pain, sometimes I coul...

This is amazing. Thank you all.

I could already mew before trying the diaphragmatic breath. So, when I do breath as you advice - actually as I think diaphragmatic breath is, since ...

As I said, cheekline is still missing. Moreover the chin is too big and give him a prognath look. Intuitively midface and lowface ratio are not good. ...

You transformed him from retrognathism to prognathism. IMO you don't have "normal" development, at all. You have classical features of a class II m...

Hey, I saw you telling you had a massive improvement of your IMV. I was wondering if your buccal corridors improved, and if so if you had a before/aft...

Also - when I engage the whole posterior part, The front part don't touch the palate anymore. It is either one or the other. What do you think about t...

Yep it is now solved. I can't give you more information because I actually don't know, I am just listening to the expert's diagnosis. It was initially...

Good degenerescence. No really, I mean changes take time to occur. It feels like you woke up this morning with open bite and you feel like it's the ...

Thank you for your answer. I feel like I can really modulate the contraction, so I don't know which feeling I should aim for. I'm contracting just a...
