This is supposedly entirely due to incorrect tongue posture and mouth breathing.

The kid was literally unrecognizable afterwards. one child who supposedly couldn’t breathe through his nose anymore after he got a pet he was allergic to completely ruined his facial aesthetics within a few years. Many of the stories of Mike and John’s clients are incredibly unsettling as well (if you’re a mouth breather).Į.G. The most compelling study mentioned in the video for me was the one that detailed how monkeys essentially totally destroyed their facial structure by manually impeding their nasal passages and forcing them to breathe through their mouths. This video, along with the Orthotropics channel’s videos, are what pushed me over the edge to really start taking this seriously. This was a very informative video on not only the potential structural degradation that can occur from mouth breathing, but the health consequences that could stem from it as well. This creates a very poor jawline and contributes to Sleep Apnea and other circulation issues.

They propose that most individuals are eating softer food now in a standard Western diet, not chewing adequately to develop the surrounding jaw muscles, and also not breathing through the nose with their mouth closed, with their tongue sitting somewhere other than at the top of the roof of the mouth (where it should be).Īnd the result of this is the lengthening of the mid face, a recession of the jaw, an overall inhibited airway, and a degradation of facial aesthetics caused by the lack of supporting proper forward Maxilla/jaw growthīasically, by not breathing through your nose with your mouth closed, and not maintaining a resting position with your tongue on the roof of your mouth, you will allow gravity to drag your face downwards. If you look at skulls from way back in the day when we ate harder foods, supposedly they had perfect teeth. This perspective has been dubbed “Orthotropics.”Īccording to Mike and John Mew, genetically, humans are not supposed to have any malocclusion. This perspective revolves around the theory that a lack of proper posture, as well as mouth breathing will eventually lead to spacing issues in the teeth and poor facial development Mike Mew and John Mew are Orthodontists who have a different perspective on how teeth develop malocclusion. If you've never heard of Mewing, it's a concept named after Mike Mew and John Mew that stands for the proper way to posture yourself while you breathe, swallow, chew, and essentially anything that has to do with your face. Will Adults Still Get Results From Mewing?.
