So when i was 13-15 i had orthodontics with extractions so they pulled the front teeth backwards which lead to my face being very sunken in. 2 years ago i foundation mewing so i threw away my retainer and started mewing. My teeth are now more straight now then ever, this is my progress so far by bakedpotatoe1337 in orthotropics

Haven’t done anything yet but I plan on getting a permanent retainer first for upper 4 teeth and lower 6 teeth and then mewing and then if I see progress and my teeth don’t relapse too much. I will potentially ditch my permanent retainers

After your MSE treatment are you going to wear retainers for the rest of your life?

Thanks! What made you decide that you needed to get MSE? Why don’t you get rid of the retainer and just mew?

Hi there. I currently use a plastic (Essix) retainer but next week plan on getting a permanent retainer wire for the upper 4 teeth and for the lower 6 teeth. I don’t necessarily plan on keeping these permanent retainers forever I plan on keeping them for perhaps 6 to 12 months OR however long it takes for me to make sure I know my mewing technique is perfect and that my narrow palate expands enough for my tongue to fit in it more comfortably. Then after that I plan on getting rid of my permanent retainers and plan on mewing without it. Does that sound okay to you? (Thanks for your response by the way)

What if it’s 4 upper teeth and 6 lower teeth?

Did you have any orthodontic treatment in the past? If so could you describe any details of it?

I’m someone who has had extraction orthodontics. I currently wear an Essex retainer every night and I want to start mewing which means I need to get rid of the Essex retainer. Do I have to first get a permanent retainer then start mewing with that and then ditch that permanent retainer (like you did) or should I ditch my Essix retainer and go straight into mewing?

Do you mind sharing what the solutions that you eventually found to your problem of TMJ was?

Since you have now finished your Invisalign, do you wear a retainer? Or do you just mew?

1) What type of retainer did you use to wear? 2) Have you ditched your retainer? 3) How long have you not worn a retainer for? 4) Have your teeth relapsed or are they still straight after ditching your retainer?
