Have you tried simple relaxation breathing? Inhale, relax. Inhale, relax. Instead of intentionally exhaling, the relaxation itself is the exhale. Let ...
The bone needs time for stimulation and recovery alike. Intermittent, frequent forces are more effective than sustained forces. When you load the teet...

It sounds like the DNA is successfully replicating the natural forces that would come into play with competent lip suction, or intra-oral vacuum if yo...
Or is it the other way around, i.e. by pushing the front teeth backwards, you will widen the palate? This would be in line with John Mew's view of ind...
Perhaps instead of the S-N or F-N plane we could create useful superimpositions by using the orbital, lambdoid suture and possibly the TMJ as anchor p...

Are you sure straighter philtrum is a positive sign? Usually we lose our philtrum curvature as age-acquired CFD begins to cumulate. A curved philtrum ...
Does your posterior tongue rise if you just drive your occiput upward? I guess what I'm asking is whether your posterior tongue straightens out the ne...
Makes sense. When I tried to focus on lifting the posterior tongue up, my lordotic curvature would only intensify. Focusing on the anterior palate gen...

I've been chewing quite a lot during certain periods of my journey. I never felt like it made much difference. Rather than purposefully chewing gum, t...
Like you, I've been mewing for a long time, and even though I've achieved almost a cm of increase in IMW, my anterior teeth remain as retroclined as t...
The simplest explanation would be that pushing at a point above the rugae (as I recall you writing in another thread) is compressing the vomer and pus...
@auxiliarius That's quite compelling. What was your tongue posture like during your clenching experiment? I'm asking because you only recently began t...
@robbie343/p> @physx-times/p> @auxiliarus Appreciate your input Are these your experiences or hypotheses? On superficial level these would be ...
It's more likely for the top of the frontal bone to recede and the overall anterior-posterior skull length to decrease. This happens to many between e...
That's a start. Though simply strengthening the temporalii may not necessarily result in change, since the matter is less about hypertrophying the mus...
1) touching is fine, possibly even desirable, so long as you are not clenching with the masseters. 2) in theory yes. Since you gave yourself overbit...
This is likely to be the culprit. In one study it was found that masseter use correlated with downswing of the anterior palate. The masseters, unlike ...
An increase in bite depth points to increased craniofacial dystrophy, whether it be downward growth, CW rotation or whatever. Please describe your tec...
Sure, they come from an excellent article series written by Portland TMJ clinic:. Hover the mouse over the 'etiology' tab in order to find all the cha...
This one. Be watchful for TMJ/ear pain while doing this though, I'm not sure if there are some occlusal conditions that would contraindicate temporali...
Masseters alone are unlikely to be able to cause CCW rotation, because they are attached to the same structures that you are trying to rotate. You wou...
Considering the direction of the muscle fibers in temporalis, it's possible. Am I misunderstanding or do you see this as a negative thing?
Elevate your mandible so as to attain molar contact. You may have to use a slight backward vector too. Put your thumbs on your masseters and the rest ...
There is good clenching and bad clenching. In terms of posture, engaging the masseters is never good, whereas engaging the temporalii almost always is...
Seems like Invisalign fixed his overbite. The extractions may have improved the shape of his alveolar bone by reducing protrusion. In theory, lip seal...
From what I understand he is demonstrating that when your teeth and lips are not together, the tongue can easily lose contact with the roof of the mou...

Doesn't sound that far-fetched. Is your skin numb too? At the very least, keep an eye for any unwanted outcomes. Some have developed tinnitus and ...
Who really knows? Sounds like you are deep in uncharted territory! Has your occlusion or appearance changed at all during this time? Have you been exp...
I have found that putting the tip on the rugae, or even slightly further back helps the tongue to lodge into the 'pocket' of the palate. Keeping the t...
Can you briefly elaborate on what the CATS treatment entailed? The information on it is very scarce.
Well there are appliances such as DNA and ALF which are tailored to the patient's unique occlusion, but they are significantly more expensive. One thi...

Usually tooth borne appliances are custom fitted to the patient's mouth. If your occlusion deviates too much from the standard occlusion which the dif...
At what point did you hear him say this? I couldn't find such statement in the video.
Overbite has become such a common occlusion in the past two hundred years that today even orthodontists see slight overbite as the standard correct oc...
You have excellent forward growth. If you want to lengthen your ramus, chewing will do that. Teeth contact may be important too.
Ah, yes. In the picture the tongue doesn't touch the palate but in reality it should. I was just illustrating the direction of the forces, with the po...
@jasmehts Amazing results.
Now that you mention it, were you typically clenching while hard mewing? You said that the muscles in your temples (temporalis) were bulging, which po...
You are not the first one I've heard to develop tinnitus from hard mewing. For some, pushing upwards on the palatine bone (= the bone that makes up th...
