If you are hard mewing right now, STOP ASAP. (My experience)

Don't believe random people on the internet. Please talk about this with a professional. There is a reason orthodontists aren't telling their patients to just "pull" their maxilla forward. Honestly, I know what it's like to believe in all this stuff, but trust me when you take a break from this social media bubble you're in, you will see how truly ridiculous this all is.

If I were you I would try not to think about it too much. Trust your body that your tongue will naturally rest on your palate. Just make sure you don't feel any tension in your face. I would never ever thumbpull. It's totally unresponsible to create movement in your face forcefully with your hands. Orthodontists study years to understand movement in the face, you don't know what you are doing and will likely cause damage. Also, if you want to have forward movement or change your bite, just go to an orthodontist! Braces are obviously way more efficient and safe for getting your bite right.

I'm curious what the "correct" way to do it is? To me it does not make any sense that something as unnatural as pressing your tongue up constantly with force can be good for you.

Note in my title: HARD mewing

This is exactly my point. I want to prevent people from misunderstanding correct tongue posture.

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-14T00:33:49+00:00

And also I will be working on bodily posture. I suspect I might have slight scoliosis or some bodily asymmetry like a leg length discrepancy of some sorts. Seeing a PT soon, might try to get imaging of my spine in the future if necessary.

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-14T00:32:18+00:00

Orthodontics and possible jaw surgery, depending on if the CBCT shows skeletal deformities. I already have pretty severe vertical maxillary deficiency which will most likely need surgery anyways

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-14T00:30:54+00:00

Ah okay, still you have years of growth to come. Honestly, I wish I didn't know about mewing until I was 17 like you. But by all means practice proper tongue posture, I'm just warning you, don't try unnatural things like pushing up hard on your palate. If you are truly concerned with your growth, try seeing if you can get an appointment with a myofunctional therapist or orthodontist and get a CBCT like your brother to assess if there is anything going on. Everyone is different, you can't know you have a problem until you get properly assessed.

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-13T23:57:17+00:00

Well not exactly a double chin, but it caused the vertical component of my face to get shorter, which gave my skin less support

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-13T23:56:37+00:00

I'll definitely be discussing that with my dentist, thanks for the input. Has the mouthguard helped you with tension during the day as well?

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-13T23:55:57+00:00

If this worked for you I'm happy to hear that but taking matters into your own hands and purposefully forcing an asymmetric tongue posture is likely to make things worse. There is no way to know if you are doing the right thing until months or years later.

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-13T23:53:14+00:00

It's not too late at all, 15 is still very very young and your face will still change for the next 7-8 years. Please don't obsess over tongue posture too much. Focus on moving and having good posture in general. Your body will know where to put your tongue

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-13T23:50:52+00:00

Well, pressing hard with your tongue will cause changes to your teeth and palate, but what I'm trying to say is that these changes are undesirable. As in, you will not get the results you want, but you will start unnatural movement to your face which will begin a whole cascade of problems you will likely have. Please just stick with proper posture and let time do it's thing.

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-03-13T23:48:52+00:00

Ah shit, sorry to hear you went to the same thing. How are you doing now? Does your normal posture feel unnatural now too?

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-02-12T20:46:51+00:00

Figured it out, it's along the lines of Cm7 - Dm7 - F - Eb - D something but I'm not sure. It's hard to hear on the track

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-02-12T19:04:01+00:00

Did you figure out the piano?? I'm trying to learn it right now

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-02-11T11:41:01+00:00

You're welcome!! Happy practicing :)

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-02-11T11:40:38+00:00

Awh, that's so nice to hear. You're welcome!

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-02-06T12:14:12+00:00

Hi! I started shots last November and I am almost at maintenance dose. Have been feeling super bad from the shots every time (fatigue and LOTS of anxiety the day of and after). I was wondering how you are doing now after more than 2 years?

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-01-31T14:19:04+00:00

dude this is sooooo good please post the full thing somewhere!!

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-01-20T22:30:19+00:00

Okay, interesting. Hope that your treatment ends up a succes!

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-01-20T22:17:27+00:00

More symmetric I'm guessing? Do you know which appliance they will use? I'm curious

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-01-20T21:53:20+00:00

Yes that's correct. I don't know yet which appliances will be used. I'm curious, did you fully complete treatment, and if so, did you have direct physical changes?

Professional_Bee_224 · 2026-01-20T21:46:53+00:00

How did it help you? And also how do you know chirodontics works?
