>”What is Mewing?”
It’s the practice of proper mouth and tongue posture in the mouth, as well as proper swallowing form to prevent infantile cheeks as described by Dr. Mike Mew.

>”Why should I care about proper mouth and tongue posture in the mouth?”
Prolonged effects of improper mouth posture include poor jawline, chubby/infantile cheeks, vertical growing face (lower sagging face), dental crowding (which can also cause over/under/cross/overjet bite), exaggeration of allergic shiners and sleep apnea.

>”How do we Mew?”
Basically, it’s this. Lips together, teeth together, tongue on the roof of the mouth.

Really pressing as much of the tongue possible into the maxilla (roof) will tighten the muscles in your neck presenting a much sharper Jawline over time, as well as many other facial feature benefits.

>”How long should I do this for?”
It only takes about a week of conscious effort before it becomes habit, then it will be how you naturally hold your mouth and tongue. After that you will notice significant change in your facial structure and Jaw. After about a day of the swallowing exercise and proper posture, I notice immediately my neck being tighter and my jawline becoming more apparent.
