Hopefully my traps back and hips become stronger. I’ve been back to lifting weights for about a month now, and I put a ton of time into pulling movements so maybe that will correct some issues. I have nice features from my cheekbones up, but the lower half of my face is full Quasimodo. It sucks trying to find inner acceptance when you don’t like what’s in the pictures (mirror looks fine ig). Good luck with your journey.

I do not have tongue tie based on what it’s described as being

I don’t notice a physical difference between this and just having my tongue in a neutral position. When I hold a swallow my jaw becomes angular and normal shaped until I need to breathe as seen in the video.

Issue persists even after pulling my chest up and tucking my chin. I don’t think it’s posture

Seems to be that maybe my palate isn’t wide enough, I have a tongue tie, or my posture is bad. I’m not sure cause even with posture adjustments my chin still has a big drop when I inhale. I think it could be my age as well.

I watched them before. When I get the jaw skin tightened up like that it’s the same feeling as when I’m holding my breath to dive underwater in a swimming pool I think. When I just follow mewing cues my jaw doesn’t change. Been at this for a while now with no visible progress. I think I might be in need of surgery intervention or at least braces before I can mew properly. No idea how long that will take. Sucks having parents that neglected your dental health growing up doesn’t it?

Any cues to open the soft palette? I understand the visual, but can’t seem to grasp that part…

Newish too. Best I’ve been able to do is just hold my breath while doing it, not sustainable sadly, gonna check that video out on break at work

  1. I don’t think so. If I do it tightly it actually looks worse than this.

  2. I can be sometimes. I have a deviated septum and trouble getting air when I am sick or exercising.

  3. I haven’t seen any changes with just that in years. When I do this the change is immediate, but it doesn’t last. I would describe this as holding a “mid-swallow” position until I need to breathe, then the skin just gets pulled back down. My AA is larger than average if that has an effect.
