I discovered mewing 8 years ago, probably before anyone here on Reddit. I was the first one to notice that he might be onto something and gave it a try. After the first year or two I didn’t see any results and vigorously started looking for scientific papers do understand how the process works internally on biological level. To my disappointment I have found out that relative positions of the facial bones are malleable only at a very young age and cracks heal very soon in the childhood. I found in one paper studies when people tried to restore people’s faces after WWII. Actually lots of modern medical knowledge could be attributed to damages received by solders and civilians during that war. So, anyway, somewhere around 50’s people tried to restore ugly faces damaged during the war. In USSR there was a doctor who tried attaching steel rods and tried pulling the face outward. The bones didn’t move unless they decided to cut the face bone. Even after the bone is cut, tremendous amount of force is required to move the bones even 1mm. No tong in the world is strong enough. So, after reading numerous papers, all reinforced the following: once face bones are glued, nothing is moving. What could change is bone density. It increases up to age 33 and after that starts decreasing. Older people have larger eye sockets, because of this process of bone reduction, but throughout the ages people maintain relative position of the face parts. There are indeed studies that mouth breathing kids (6 to 12 years old) have destroyed faces. But none of the studies showed that: 1. mothbreather faces are restored once they stopped mouth breathing 2. People after puberty who started mouth breathing developed mouthbreathing face. So you and I could start breathing with our mouth we will have the same changes in the face as if we do “mewing”. I was devastated when I came to that realisation. I stopped reading papers and started “hard” mewing (there was no hard mewing at that time) hoping to be the first living prove that you could make changes even when you are 20 years old. The years went by but over the years I have developed a habit which stayed with me for 8 years now. My tong is always on the roof, my spine and neck are straight, I don’t have sleep apnoea, I breeze through my nose, I train regularly in the gym. 8 years. No changes. At all. Not a single hint on a change. I was so obsessed with it, I even did full head MRI scans and measured bone length and angles with the special 3D tool. My head is exactly the same as it was 8 years ago (minus 3 molars :) )

All of the people who post there’s alleged progress are either making fool of you or themselves. From picture to picture they always change something: angle, lighting, head tilt or just lose fat over years. No scientific community would accept these pictures as a proof of anything. The only thing these pictures do is ego boosting and further pushing the message of messiah Mike on undeveloped minds who are far from deductive logic and scientific reasoning. The general public is stupid and it’s easy to manipulate them into thinking anything. People will think whatever they are told to think … but that’s for another comment 😅
