What is Mewing?
Mewing is a technique developed by Dr. Mike Mew, a British orthodontist, that involves proper tongue posture to enhance facial structure. The goal of mewing is to align the tongue on the roof of the mouth and keep it there at all times.
Benefits of Mewing
- Improved facial aesthetics
- Straighter teeth
- Better breathing
Examples of Mewing
One example of mewing is keeping the tongue on the roof of the mouth while resting, swallowing, and speaking. Another example is performing specific tongue exercises to strengthen the tongue and palate muscles.
Case Studies
A study published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery found that mewing can help improve mandibular position and facial appearance. Another study in the Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research showed that mewing can lead to changes in facial structure over time.
Statistics
According to a survey of mewers, 80% reported improved facial aesthetics after practicing mewing consistently for six months. Additionally, 75% reported better breathing and 60% reported straighter teeth.
Conclusion
Mewing is a practice that has gained popularity in recent years for its potential benefits in improving facial structure and overall well-being. By incorporating mewing into your daily routine, you may experience positive changes in your facial aesthetics, oral health, and breathing.
