Hi @Katie -- No update with dramatic results. My main focus these past 18 months or so has been body posture all on my own, which is much improved. My...

So the geometric patterns have gone, but what I now experience is what I can only describe as a floating buckshot pattern. Organic centralized dots th...

I've tried holding my tongue on this one, but I just can't anymore. The way people are talking about this woman is so cruel and unnecessary, I can har...

I think partly you're lifting your head up a tiny bit more in the after photo, but I think it's clear that the muscle under your chin has lifted from ...

@js1984 There's no specific guide for body posture, as everyone is so different, but there are tons of resources out there, and a search through this ...

I don't consider it a must-have, and I do think it depends on the recession...but not "how recessed". I don't believe I've been a mouth breather, but ...

It could be a number of things, but it could also be your neck and how your skull is now resting. Rather than it being mewing that is literally making...

Hm, I'm never one for saying something is an outright scam, but mentioning that they can do it over the phone is a huge red flag for me. If it wasn't ...

@lizzybennet -- I can't say what's going on with your Mr. Darcy, unfortunately, but I am sorry to hear he's resistant to oral posture. You're right, e...

Hi @LizzyBennet! Sorry, I didn't get a notification you posted in this thread. I can still have trouble with deciphering words with ambient noise, but...

I'm genuinely asking these questions, so I can understand better. What society are we talking about? What would this society behave like in its ideal ...

I don't agree. I am a product of lip seal but poor tongue posture, and it shows. It's true that I don't have the breathing issues that other people on...

Hi @mewing4ever, I had responded to a previous thread you wrote, but I'm not sure if you saw it. I'm copying it here, as I still think it's relevant: ...

How is your body and neck posture? I can't quite tell from the photo. When I first began, I had terrible posture. I still have a ways to go in getting...

I'm sorry I can't give you a definitive answer. I also experience a pressure in my cheekbones, but I consider this positive. In my own observation, th...

@adcr, I tried to recreate the experience of muscle hitting my teeth, and it happens when my posterior third isn't engaged enough. I still have my ton...

I'm not quite sure I'm visualizing this properly, but if I am it could be that parts of your tongue need strengthening. I can't emphasize enough how i...

Over time with oral posture, I've noticed a change in my eyelids, and the height of each lid is much more symmetrical than it used to be. One eye had ...

@seaann That's great to hear about the changes you're feeling! I can't personally tell you what's right or wrong, but if the changes are positive to y...

I did two versions, both several times: 1) I drop my tongue, but keep my teeth together. My mandible slowly drops, and actually slides even more forwa...

I had wanted to try NCR or ABC, but no one was in my area. Thankfully, I found a chiropractor who did endonasal release, and his main focuses were TMJ...

I woke up a few times last night, and my incisors were pressed together more often than not. Now, I don't know if I was subconsciously readjusting my ...

I had an underbite as a toddler and child, though none of my family on either side had one as far as I'm aware. My first set of braces moved my jaw ba...

I wish I could record the inside of my mouth when I sleep to really see what happens! I'm going to try to pay attention to what my bite feels like whe...

You said you got worse after a few appointments? Would you be willing to elaborate on that?

Have you begun oral posture? When your mouth is at rest, are your teeth already lightly together? What is your body posture like? I can't give you muc...

The twisting of the tongue reminds me of what my tongue felt like when I first began tongue strengthening exercises. It sounds to me like you need to ...

This wasn't my experience. I had terrible forward head posture and I continued to have bad posture even after I did the facial exercises. I got some b...

I'd suggest ShapeYourFace as a place to start if you're talking about "facial yoga" or face exercises -- but in my experience, proper chewing, swallow...

@scerif I didn't hear it, I felt it. Yes, I believe the movement is due to the use of the posterior third of the tongue, which naturally moved the man...

Unfortunately, I can't give much of any advice on appliances other than what I already have! I hope you're able to find a like-minded orthodontist if ...

@catirl, without knowing exactly what oral posture feels like for you right now, let me talk about my own experience, and see if any of it relates to ...

@buggy My own experience shows this is true, but the benefits to improving head posture were so large for me that I question why other people might de...

It might take a while to find them, but there are orthodontists out there who do understand skull development and the effects of extractions. I had a ...

Because it depends on the mouth. It depends on the strength of your tongue, and what parts of your tongue have that strength or are weak. It depends o...

I completely agree with @eddiemoney's original post, and I need to add a couple more reasons that I'm seeing crop up related to the starting topic. I ...

@admin - I need jump in here and call out for a review for multiple harassment for photos

I also want to say that I'm going to endeavor to find threads to fill your topics, @apollo. The difficulty is, sometimes responses are specific posts ...

I love this idea. I had been thinking of this on my own, and created a few questions I had seen over time that I mulled over before realizing that I f...

I have done some research and yes you are 100% correct on everything. How did you know all those things on corset? @francybe92 I wear historical and m...

@francybe92 - You're better off looking at the effects of modern-day corset wearers, who are usually adult women who begin wearing corsets once their ...

Did a couple experiments, and I think this is why the 3rd exercise is so important. With my mouth open wide, I can squeeze and posture my tongue witho...

I have a weird mouth, though! Keep in mind that though I had 4 teeth extracted (bicuspids, 2 on top and 2 on lower), my molars were moved forward. Eve...

@drunkwithcoffee, I can't say how much, but I do think that soft tissue improvements can be underrated on this forum, both in physical performance and...

My intermolar width is 30-31 mm, depending on the cast I measure from.I definitely feel restriction. I always need to squeeze and suction my tongue up...

I wish I could remember what my chiropractor used for endonasal release. It was either olive oil or coconut oil that had been processed to stay in liq...

Same as @apollo. I don't remember the exact age, but my posture deteriorated to the point where my ears stopped popping even when I yawned. I didn't s...

@martinez, you are correct that what I'm confident in claiming is soft tissue improvement from proper oral posture, and tongue strength that improves ...

I'm sensing sarcasm and hostility, but I'm not sure why it's directed here, especially since you just joined this thread. Without showing photos, my p...

Body posture can play a really important role in breathing and airway. Obviously, you need to breathe first and foremost. But it might turn out that o...

I believe this specific photo comparison is of two different women, so it's not to say that this exact degeneration would happen to the young female s...

This specific woman as I recall has a number of procedures done, so I can't say how much they affected her skull. But focal length can make a big diff...

Nothing is wrong with rolling the tongue in general, it's just not the object of the exercise.

Phew, LOL. I was one of the people who could roll their tongue, but couldn't figure out how to suction. It wasn't until these exercises that something...

Really, though, in my weird head, I feel like the tongue ends up looking more like the body of a stegosaurus toy. So lop off the neck, limbs, tail and...

That's the best I can explain it! The closest I've found for Skinny Tongue Phase 1 (and I broke it into phases for myself, by the way) is from the vid...

Yes, I have a hard time explaining this one! Puffing up as in expanding in height, but narrowing in width. You don't want to roll the tongue. It shoul...

Yes, my therapist helped me with swallowing as well. One thing you can do is: Looking in the mirror (any of these exercises is better done in front of...

I do have photos, and have taken great care to replicate position and lighting. Unfortunately, I don't share them publicly and have only sent them to ...
