Mewing is a technique that involves maintaining correct tongue posture by placing the tongue on the roof of the mouth.
Proponents Mike and John Mew say that improved tongue posture corrects facial and jaw development. A wider palate can lead to potential improvements in facial aesthetics and orthodontic issues.
The technique is named after Dr. Mike Mew, a British orthodontist who popularized the concept after three generations of his family developed facial development treatments.
Dr. John Mew began his inquiry into oral posture in the late 1960s,exploring the idea that proper tongue placement and oral posture could affect dental and facial development. Dr. Mike Mew has continued his father’s work and has been promoting the concept of mewing through various channels, including his Youtube Channel Orthotropics.
In this extended episode we spend two hours with Mike Mew on the practical steps of of Mewing and Orthotropics, as well as the history of him developing the concept.
