@Tatsumi cool! Thanks for making the gif. This was at the 6 month mark so hopefully at 1 year the change will be much more apparent.

@tatsumi The size looks the same to me. The position doesn't though. If you line up the ear instead of the profile you get quite a different gif. I th...

I noticed a change in the ear from my progress pictures too. Though the angles were exactly the same the ears never matched up because the ear appeare...

@gubbbb Do you apply forward pressure when you mew? I think focusing on the posterior 3rd of the tongue might be good for IMW expansion, but personall...

- Pretty hard. Also probably about 70% of the tongues maximum strength. The amount of pressure varies- sometimes I push as hard as I can, other days I...

Relating to what @drunkwithcoffee said about Neveragain and Achilles emphasizing pressure on the soft palate, now that I think of it, I think that mig...

@elevee Sweet! And thank you! :) My Irish skin does look extra pasty in the winter, but yes my skin has been looking much better since I've started me...

@drunkwithcoffee Haven't actually thought about it at all. There is some pressure on the soft palate but the majority of the pressure is forward and s...

@Skinnyboiii well if you think about it.. the bottom of the ear is attached to the skin of the jaw right? So if the jaw comes forward the bottom of th...

@drunkwithcoffee yes

@skinnyboiii I might have had an increase in IMW of about 1mm. I don't want to claim an increase at that small a change but my tongue definitely fits ...

@drunkwithcoffee I mainly push with the front and middle part of the tongue and it's more of an active push. I've mainly been applying forward pressur...

First of all your face isn't that bad. Second you're a teen so you're the best possible candidate for mewing since you're likely to experience the bes...

Your face looks quite a lot shorter actually (which is a good thing in the mewing world). Keep doing what you're doing!

@skinnyboiii When I first started passively mewing a year or so ago I could barely fit my tongue on the roof of my mouth though I don't know what my i...

I think symmetry of the upper palate is more important for overall facial symmetry than the bottom teeth since the majority of your face sits on your ...

@elevee Thank you! I think I lost a few pounds since winter but I've definitely had a double chin at much lower weights than I am currently. I can get...

I think you look improved. Your face looks like it's shortened.

I think results have everything to do with effort. I half heartedly mewed for 2 years or so achieving absolutely nothing. In contrast, I've been hard ...

Bingo.

@darkindigo posture is also the effect of self esteem. I never had issues breathing but I did have poor self esteem throughout my childhood and that e...

I'm sure it helps but I really don't think diet is the main driver of good facial development. Anecdotal, I know, but at least 2 girls I know have bee...

If there's extractions involved, it will probably cause the maxilla to become more recessed. I had extractions and wore braces for 3 years. The result...

I think you'll find that there are many people with drastically different opinions in these forums. If I were you I'd read the threads of those who ha...

I've had 4 premolar extractions as well. I would definitely not suggest surgery. I've been hard mewing for only 3 months and already spaces have opene...

3k is pretty good! I didn't know braces could be an option. Luckily I didn't develop any TMJ issues though I had an extremely narrow airway that the o...

Yay! I'm just happy that I can finally comfortably fit my tongue on the roof of my mouth now. I agree. Now that the tongue fits, it feels a lot easier...

Thanks for the advice entelechy! I originally went to see an Orthotropist (whatever you call them). Unfortunately I'm too poor to afford the 6k plus t...

How would the gonial angle change? I understand that the jaw can come down and forward if the maxilla moves forward but not how the actual bone could ...

Then don't try. You seem to be content with hating your life anyway so why should you even attempt to improve it?

Seriously. With. That. Attitude. My jaw used to be almost as bad as yours. Now I almost pass for normal. The entire point of mewing is to GRADUALLY fi...

With that attitude.

That's a pretty dramatic transformation! Getting they hyoid bone to where it should be is a gradual process though right? Because I'm pretty sure I'm ...

I second ohwatthehell's question. I've been "hard mewing" every day, all day, though I don't feel a "buzzing" sensation so now I'm wondering if I'm me...

Nice!

I recently started focusing more on the back of the tongue which is why I think I have less of a double chin in the second photo. I think it's lifted ...

I had braces for years and my molars are where my missing premolars should be. If I managed to expand my palate, I would think that once all my teeth ...

The biggest change I see is that my eyes seem to go back into my skull a little more, but since I'm not showing them I understand it's all hearsay unt...

Awesome. You went from like a 7 to a 9 within a year.

I don't even have 2 sets of premolars (they were removed) AND my wisdom teeth are also only partially out. I'm screwed.

Those first 2 are your premolars, not your molars.

Pretty sure that's the anatomy of a dude. The male hairline, brow ridge, square shoulders, etc. Curiously I only see these aging patterns in female ce...

@megamandude I was officially diagnosed with scoliosis when I was young and had terrible posture for most of my life. The past few years I've been mak...

This is really great motivation! Have you noticed improved vision at all?

@progress Your results are astounding! You look like a completely different person. I have a question about the curvature you said you had in your spi...

I suspect this thread is full of orthodontists.

Thanks @Achilles1 ! You've inspired me. I've been practicing proper oral posture for about 2 years now, but I lost hope that dramatic changes to the s...

Ayla31 mentioned that about thumb pulling. I'll leave it out. Guess I'll find some calipers for precise measuring.. What is a wash out period?

Okay, I'll leave the thumb pulling out. Only been doing it for a few days so it's not too late.

Well in that case, I'll be a guinea pig for research. I plan on doing the same thing Achilles did for at least 6 months to start: hard mewing every da...

This problem might be solved if Achilles uploaded an after picture with better lighting. His before and after pictures are the best evidence I've seen...

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for.
