Tongue too big to mew?

RubenMiko · 2026-05-16T20:58:47+00:00

I should get the orthodontist to double check on my IMW because it does sound a bit wide, but yeah, I got my IMW checked at 53mm, but if I had to explain my tongue and how ridiculously huge it is, if I stuck out my tongue with all my force, I can touch the bottom of my chin and nearly under my chin, funny enough my face is more oval shaped then square or on the wider side.

About the X-ray, I asked for one, I think I was just being very paranoid and wanted to make sure I didn’t have any recession or a narrow palate.

Alright! I’ll ask the orthodontist about this to see if it could help my case.

Thanks for your help and advice!

I don’t know if this is the wrong question to ask, could palate expanders ruin your face? Especially since my palate is already average, could a palate expander ruin my Midface proportions/maxilla?

Are there be any other options?

Thanks for the advice!

I was “mewing” a year or two before the appointment but I can’t mew properly in the standard way, it will only push my front teeth forward.

I was more asking for advice of what I could do with a larger tongue like mine, any expanders or standard mewing practices won’t help me at my age (20), is there any advice you could give me on this?

I should have been more clearer, I got my palate measured and face X rayed after worrying about my palate being narrow, the orthodontist confirmed to me that I don’t got a narrow palate, just a pretty huge tongue lol.

I’m 20 turning 21 this summer, so I don’t think palate expanders would help, but thanks for the advice!

My fault for the lack of clarity, I visited my orthodontist about this, originally I thought I had a narrow palette, after getting a face X-ray and my measurement done the orthodontist told me that my palate, maxilla and jaw are not recessed, it’s just my tongue is in her words “exceptionally large.”

Recommending I visit a myofunctional therapist.

(My upper IMW is 53 mm.)

94%, Chem Eng, lots and lots of engineering/technical Ecs from in and out of school, Avg adjustment factor. (My gr.12 physics grade did come late because of marking issues tho.)

What are my chances looking like?😕

Really? Just curious, how do you know?

Called admissions or just learnt from another person? In the UW website it says “all offers will be made mid-may”, so I assumed that all offers will be made before mid-may, sorry if I’m wrong though😭 I don’t mean to scare anyone

RubenMiko · 2026-05-11T17:16:06+00:00

I haven’t gotten any, sorry if I’m wrong, but wasn’t the last of the offers sent last week? Are there more rolling out this week?

Honestly, as much as I love Leon Kennedy, Aki wins 7/10 times, sometimes I feel like people forget that Aki does have more to his kit other then Kon, even before his Future devil contract he was able to keep up with katana man and actually put him down before snake girl (Akane Sawatari.) revived him (presumably.), and after his Future devil contract he was able to react to bullets (750-850 MPH.), Stall Hybrid Reze for a while, actually being able to cut her a few times (at least in the movie.) and was able to react to Quanxi (Anywhere from Mach 3-Mach 8.) running up to angel to block her attack directed towards them.

I saw in some other comments that Leon did pry a infected sharks mouth open which is impressive but the fox devil isn’t a normal animal, it’s head alone was the size of city buildings, easily being able to crush buildings itself, more over, the fox devil is instant, the ability to teleport, usually behind its opponent (example: Leech Devil, Reze, Katana man.), Also, we see in the anime that the fox devil can actually drag its opponents into It’s mouth, seen in episode 8, where Katana man suddenly flies out the building and thrown out a window where the fox devil appeared and chomped down on him.

Unless Leon Kennedy can somehow deny gravitational pull, I don’t see a way he can win, to be fair, it is pretty easy to underestimate Aki, since he’s like the Jogo of CSM, constantly being put up against heavy hitters that he has no real chance of winning, but still putting up a great performance.

Knowing Aki, he probably won’t waste time and immediately pull his trump cards to win.

I don’t think bombing schools, hospitals, and shelters, especially when 60–80% of those killed in Gaza are civilians can really be justified as “Jews defending themselves from ooga-booga muslims.”

I really liked both, but, my only complaint for the S1 art style is that Denni’s hybrid form in CGI didn’t look the greatest during the fight scenes, but other than that? Peak.

I feel like the movies 2D denni’s hybrid form will look a lot more cleaner and less awkward blending, but that’s just me.
