Awesome! Is the new neck posture easy to hold? Chin tucks only?
Agreed. As my mandible as retruded due to bad joints it brought my entire maxilla back with it. Now that’s the opposite of what we’re trying to achiev...
Are you mewing in both photos? Your neck and submental area look much better
Awesome result! It’s like you went from an unhealthy girl to a healthy robust woman yet you look younger now. I notice more of a lower third and it’...
@auxiliarus Do you see changes in my latest before and after? Your pretty knowledgeable about this stuff
@auxiliarus thanks. I haven’t but the amount of tongue space is noticeably more. I had my myo therapist measuring and I haven’t seen here in alm...
@therose Can you describe your mandible decompression? When did it happen? How? I’m guessing some muscles had to be unwound? That’s my big issue now...
@progress Where can I find the case of that woman who used the bite appliance for temporal engagement?
@toomer thank you! Yes my face was very long. My skin literally felt like it was falling off my face lol now not nearly as much. It’s nice to feel c...
@therose yes I’m seeing Kathy. She’s a wealth of knowledge. She explained to me exactly how I my problems started and they pretty much line up to ev...
@toomer I am 33 and see him in Santa Cruz California, he flys out once a month to see patients here.
update.Almost a year into mewing and 2 ALF adjustments. Cheekbones continue to come up and out. Eyes hooding, nose coming up as well. Facial skin feel...
@therose awesome to hear the good news! I’m on my second adjustment of ALF plus close to a year of mewing and I’m seeing results, my Face is startin...
@retropizza if you have an Instagram check out @bronsondentistry and @alfeducationalinstitue there are some good examples of expansion.
Yes strengthening the tongue. Stronger tongue has a better resting position on the pallate.
@basimi I agree. These two show realistic results imo. I believe both were achieved in around 1 year.
I don’t understand this isolation of muscles via chewing. You can only chew based on what your anatomy allows. When I chew I get activation of both te...
I think Yay and Achilles results show good foward movement. You can clearly see the mid face move forward particularly the cheekbones. Yays lower thir...
@cliffbars i haven’t measured but it’s definitely expanded based on tongue space and appearance. I expanded it 2mm with my tongue Alone before I eve...
eye and cheek changes. Lips looking less droopy as well.
Update. I’m now on my second ALF adjustment. I wore it inactivated for 2 months at first then had it activated on my second visit. It wasn’t very pain...
@mewtated your neck posture has improved a lot. You SCM muscles are moving into their optimal position. what have you been doing to achieve that?
I really don’t think you need anymore maxillary upswing and your forward growth seems good. Actually if your got anymore forward and upward growth ...
@auxiliarus agreed. This is a very well documented case of positive results.
@sinned gotccha makes sense. What’s the usual wear time for face mask?
@falsenegativesleepstudy what are your thoughts on Facemask alone? Why would the suture need to be split for the face mask to work? Say if someone a...
@elwynn When you Mew do you have teeth in contact? If so do you do it while you sleep too? I Mew during sleep with lips sealed but sometimes I...
@agendum Valid points. how would you rate bone resorption vs possible bone growth on geological timeline? here’s a picture from a study I found...
@thomas22 awesome. Can you describe the lower jaw changes please?
Did you have any neck Or back pain Prior to your posture correction?
They’ll likely take CBCT scans to determine if you need MSE in the first place. So start there. I wouldn’t tell them your looking for better cheekb...
here’s a better comparison I put together. Can’t hide the face if you want to show results ;).
here’s a front shot. Canthal tilt and hooding seems to be better. I’m reluctant to post side profile pics yet because I have molar build ups in now th...
@mewisit I’m not sure. You’ll have to call.
@mewisit I only know of Dr Phelps in San Jose Ca
Update. Might be seeing some action around the eye and brow. Eyes looking a bit less buggy and the eye brow seems to have lifted up a bit. First pic i...
@auxiliarus What do you mean by external forces?
@silver It doesn’t feel like much. Just light pressure. No discomfort. It’s only been a week. My treatment plan is 12 to 18 months. I’m at 38 IMW no...
I have ALFs in from my dentist. The reason I wouldn’t make my own is I want to best possible outcome I can get. Plus you need to also have composite b...
@sinned this is why I chose ALF and tongue posture. Remodeling is the goal. Rapidly splitting the skull wont achieve that. I’ve seen examples of ...
So I’m on day 3 of my upper and lower ALFs. My Doctor put build ups on my upper and lower bicuspids. I am to leave the ALFs in 24/7. I’m already used ...
So I got my lab results back and I tested “reactive” to 2 bands out of 9 which shows I’ve been exposed to Lyme at one point in my life. Mold allegin c...
@auxiliarus I’m cheating with the ALF but will update.
@auxiliarus I agree. I think excessive chewing destroyed my face especially since my jaws clicked and I’m class 2. Im at 38mm and rest my tongue b...
@auxiliarus gotcha. What class bite are you? I was a heavy chewer with a deep bite and I think that’s what got me to where I’m at now (recessed),...
@basim Ive seen mewing and myofunctional results where it looked liked the brow moved upwards. Maxilla goes up, orbitals go up, brow seems more hori...
@auxiliarus Do you think your gonion moving backwards was a result of the excessive chewing? Pushing the mandible Condyle back into the Process?
@theposturelaw I believe he mentioned he did both hard and soft mewing mainly in an upwards direction. I mean he is in his 30’s and with a wife a...
@paperbag i agree he looked good. Tbh most Mewers look fine to begin with anyway. He grew cheekbones at 35 which is awesome. This motivates me to ...
His cheekbones shot out that’s crazy. Did the orbits come up too I can’t tell. @progress I remember seeing a before and after of you where it looke...
Man this gives me hope. All of those negative habits pretty much line up with me. My face 4 years ago is drastically different than today’s. My case i...
Did you chin tuck for an entire hour? Maybe the swelling could have been lack of O2?
Did you mean to say your jaw slid to a new position? Condyle remodeling within in a few hours sounds strange.
@adam I agree it can work at most ages To an extent, surgical results won’t be attainable (yet at least). These two examples show. It’s all in the...
@auxiliarus How do you get upwards and forwards growth of the maxilla but the gonion moves backwards?
@azrael I’m not showing improvements. I’m showing my recession over the past few years that I’m trying to correct. It mainly shows in the Gonial ang...
@azraelhard to tell since those photos aren’t profile shots, but she’s gotta better chance at achieving post surgery if she tried. It’s a case by ca...
