Keen to hear your thoughts, can you see a difference?
My question is will mewing show drastic changes to my face(I'm 19 years old currently) I'm hoping to see some visible changes in like a year or so I'll be glad if u respond to this, Thank You.
Mewing is unlikely to grow your jaws. However, you can still change your face. You can incorporate other facial exercises to add muscle into your face. You can exercise your tongue and upper airway muscles which will make you sleep better. Better sleep will make you look sharper and more pleasant. Finally, do you know how to keep your posterior tongue up? This improves your neck definition immediately. @@zed8243
@@coachpyry Yes I do, I was a late bloomer so I still kind of have the babyface and I don't look my age, that is why I asked the question Thank You for your Response
@@coachpyry it sounds like you have to keep this tension on your tongue all day which sounds dreadful. At what point can you stop doing this? Is it a lifetime thing? It sounds completely unnatural to walk around like this all day and go your work or whatever not to mention being conscious of your tongue all day.
Great question. However, it shows that you've misunderstood the point with "mewing". Let's not call it "mewing". Let's call it for what it is. It's the natural resting position of the tongue. You should not walk around focusing on it all day. The tongue should stay up there unconsciously. If it doesn't stay up there during the day, then there is a big change if it doesn't stay there during the night either, and because of your age, I'm going to be bold enough and say that you're dealing with some level of obstructive sleep apnea due to a smaller airway space because of that tongue that's resting lower in your airway than it's supposed to. (I know because I was even when I was 27 years old). Yes, change is always daunting, but the negative complications of not dealing with this right now will have even more horrendous repercussions (google about obstructive sleep apnea). You only need to be aware of the new habit during the re-training phase until you move towards unconscious competence. Right now, you've realised you don't do it unconsciously. You are "consciously incompetent". Next you have to become consciously competent through deliberate practice. Consistent, deliberate practice makes you unconsciously competent, at which point it's second nature and you don't have to waste any energy for it. @@gregm55mullen62
There's definitely a notable change. Mainly in the eyes and cheekbones. It takes years for adults to get full blown transformations. Do not stop! Your face is improving. am excited for you. just think how much better you will look in another year or 2.
Thanks for sharing and the encouragement. I certainly don't plan on slowing down!
@Grand Rapids Give it a shot! You've got nothing to lose. 29 is not old!
@Grand Rapids same. I'm 29 y/o when I started it last year. Now I'm 30. My jawline, nose alar, and brow ridge keeps improving. People I passed by at malls even in public restrooms give me long stares especially the gay ones (no discrimination). I haven't experienced that before. It's still feels brand new to me.
Im 32 and still making gains
@@surenot1556 Great, thanks for sharing
Instructions unclear, but now all the cats in my neighbourhood are following me around
HAHHAHAH! Good one. Mew.
This is the first actually critical video ive ever seen about mewing and ive known about this stuff for 6 years. I greatly appreciate the effort as well as the honesty and transparency that went into this
Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you back!
@@coachpyryagreed. You could make a whole channel devoted to finding truths like this and I bet it would be very popular.
This is literally a breath of fresh air. Been mewing a few days and both my sinuses have cleared like I couldn't remember. Wish I'd known about this decades ago. Better late than never.
So glad to hear that! Have you noticed any changes in your sleep quality?
@@coachpyry it's early to say, but I am feeling I may be sleeping deeper than usual. Excited to see how this develops.Anything that improves sleep is most welcome.
@@squirrelpatrick3670 Glad to hear. Any aesthetic changes are an excellent secondary bonus, but the actual ticket to feeling better and living a more fulfilling life is improving the quality of your sleep. Besides, some of the aesthetic changes can be explained simply by the fact that when you sleep better, you look less tired. If you are interested in sleep quality, perhaps you'd be interested in reading my detailed account of my experiences discovering that I had mild obstructive sleep apnea and all the different modalities I've tried and used to get rid of it. You can find the article if you scroll halfway down this page: www.coachpyry.com/breathe Have a great day!
@@coachpyry will check out for sure. yes I came for the aesthetics but health improvement are the greater prize. Thank you for the encouragement! btw, you almost look like a different person in your photos, although I'd struggle to say exactly what the change is. edited to add: you got me, I've signed up 🙂
@@squirrelpatrick3670 Awesome, welcome to the team! I struggle to pinpoint exactly what the change is, but I suspect mostly a combination of increased facial muscle size and being less sleep deprived.
I'm 41. I've been mewing since 2019 and i also had Invisalign in 2020. My face has changed massively and i look like 30. Lots of people asked me if I had surgery or fillers cause i have such a youthful look
That's fantastic, glad to hear that!
can you mew while having invisalign?
@@tejas1762 yeah sure, i’m doing it myself right now actually
I’m 51 and yes my face has changed since I’ve been mewing since 19. Now i live in the moon…. 😂🤣 people are so fucking stupid believing these stories
@@pallafox, Thanks for contributing all the way from the moon
I was 28 when I started mewing and I would not say that my maxilla and jaw have grown but rather they have repositioned better and I think that is also what I noticed on your photos. But trust me, my profile has improved a lot. I also see that your photos do have a difference in your head angle and that might change the perception a bit.
Thanks for hearing. Yeah, will make sure the next shots are more standardised. What kind of differences have you noticed yourself?
i agree with repositioning. there was a a clear counter clockwise rotation of his craniofacial complex
To me, there are very clear, visible differences between your before/after photos and x-rays. I would send your material toMike Mew and get him to explain exactly what those differences are. He's always interested in people who have measured the changes in the way that you have. Can you use a "measuring line" tool to measure potential growth in the second x-ray? A line starting and ending at the same points in each x-ray would tell you. Funny how your dentist said that there's no way of really telling because your posture is different in each of the x-rays. Well of course your posture is different - mewing has dramatically improved your oral, body and facial posture and that's clear to see!! That's what mewing does, as well as gradual expansion, which once again, I would say you have very clearly achieved. Orthodontic consensus gets a big fat "X" from me. Thanks so much for the video.
Thanks for sharing your opinion, Sandra! That’s exactly what a Jefferson analysis does. Specific landmarks are identified in the orofacial complex and these are compared with one another to see whether the bones have moved or not. I’m not trying to downplay the benefits of having your tongue against the roof of the mouth, however since there was no significant jaw growth (based on the Jefferson analysis), my best hypothesis for the more dramatic changes in the facial profile are due to increased muscle tone of the orofacial muscles. As explained in the video, I followed a progressive strength and conditioning training program for these muscles.
@@coachpyry okay, thanks for explaining. In that case, increasing muscle tone makes a huge difference! I'm definitely going to make more of a concerted effort here.
@@sorcha3811 Awesome, let me know how you go!
You are not dentist, bro.
Confirmation bias is strong in this comment. The dentist is talking about head posture, not jaw posture, which means any measurement between the two x-rays will not match.
I like your approach to it. Science is done by curious, intrigued minds... not by optimists
Thanks for the comment. I appreciate your opinion and time.
Bro! This video is COMPLETELY underrated! This information it's actually really f*ucking useful!! Every video out there are pictures of teen kids growing up while mewing, and one can't really tell if it was mewing or if the kid just wasn't developed in the before picture. Or maybe both? Idk, the main point is that you made it very clear that is possible to change your face structure as an adult. The evidence you provide is the more legit I've ever seen, so thank you for this! I've been mewing for the past four months or so, and I was quite unmotivated because I'm not seeing much of a change. But after watching this video I've got my hopes up!
Thanks, Manuel, for the great feedback! Remember that the benefits of optimal tongue posture go beyond just the facial structure. The ability to breathe through the nose, get sick less often, tolerate more stress and sleep better will accelerate every aspect of your life. Facial aesthetics are just the cherry on top of the cake.
The more I look at the photos, the more you look like almost a completely different person. You're looking a lot better now, definitely keep going 🙌. As someone who's been mewing for a few years (started at 16 am 19 now) I've had a similar effect where I couldn't quite put a finger on why I was looking different but still looking a lot better
Cheers Chad, let’s hope that we can both continue making gains!
@@coachpyry You actually look a lot friendlier now
@@Prevaileth Haha thanks! I feel friendlier too.
Absolutely yes! There are clear differences between your before and after! Keep doing the job! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing Paola, I certainly will!
I can see the results and I have a keen eye for detail, your structure is developing that highly sought after bicycle seat shape seen in male models, I know models are super chiseled and shapely but I can see noticeable changes, keep doing it won't hurt.
Cheers, maybe I'll make it to Hollywood after all!
Excellent video! I was researching lately the effectiveness of mewing/jaw excercises and this has been the more legitimate evidence I have seen so far.
Cheers! I think that the question is: Effective for what? The term mewing can be misleading. In my opinion, it should be called "optimal tongue posture". The funny thing is that you don't need any evidence. All you need is to look at the anatomy of the upper airway. The very moment you find the optimal tongue posture, your upper airway will dilate, and it will become easier to breathe. Very effective if you ask me! Not to mention the observed benefits of a stronger tongue and nasal breathing on snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. What kind of benefits have you noticed so far?
I was beyond surprised when I saw the number of subs that you had. The sheer quality of the videos, and the evidence based approach reminded me of a Jeff Nippard video. I'd estimate your production quality was similar to KZheadrs with around 100-200k. I hope you grow further on KZhead! Keep up the good work, and thank you for helping us all out!
Wow, that’s amazing feedback. Glad to hear you’ve enjoyed the content, I’m not planning on slowing down!
You’ve done a great job in for-after pictures, and I think I can see that the structure of you face has changed in de right direction. Well done!
Thank you, Roeland, glad you enjoyed the video!
This is an awesome, i have never seen anyone put that much effort into trying to see wether or not mewing workes
Thanks for sharing, appreciate it!
Definetly there is a difference. and for an adult to make this change in 1 year is significant, given you only did these exercises. Please continue, and update us... it would be Interesting to see after 5 years. Please Please continues and record and share your results yearly . Thank you for taking this upon you to and see if it works or not for all of us. my son is 14 years old, he might have a better chance because he is younger. But seeing your progress will be encouraging.
Thanks sir, will do. Your son is a lucky man!
damn man, crazy differences! never expected that somebody your age would improve his facial aesthetics so much through mewing. very impressive, especially your eye area has improved a lot. i've been mewing for 4 months now - fingers crossed i'll be having similar results like you ;)
Thanks man! Well, as you can see in the X-Ray analysis, there was no significant jaw growth. Therefore I think that most of the “gains” are due to the progressive strength and conditioning training of the muscles of the face, tongue and throat. So, based on the above, I would recommend to supplement your tongue posture habit with some myofunctional exercises for the muscles of the face for the best results 👍
@@coachpyry i mean you're no longer 14 and can expect groundbreaking results but for what i can tell, your face has tremendously improved. there's no need to downplay your gains - or just don't set unrealistic expectations, keep in mind you've only been mewing for just over a year, i wonder how you might end up looking in 3 years when you continue mewing. i am currently hard mewing and occasionally chin tucking. on top of that i chew mastic gum every other day for half an hour to hypertrophy my masseter muscles.
@@J0J0McM0M0 We will see! I’ve been chewing mastic gum too, it’s the real deal.
@@coachpyryman are you serious? You look incredibly different
Anyway, extremely comprehensive and detailed video, great job!
Thanks man, I appreciate it alot!
Hey Coach, great video. Also surprised you don't have more subs. I had/have open bite and a cross bite, due to tongue thrust as a youth. Didn't get braces to attempt to fix it until I was 30. Had braces twice now. It's mostly fixed the open bite but not the cross bite, nor the under developed maxilla. I had a strong bottom jaw and underbite. Thankfully they only removed one molar from the top, but they did take two from the bottom. I also suffered from issues breathing through my nose due to deviated septum etc etc but I'm sure it was all related. I started doing tongue retraining in my 30's when I got my first set of braces and it definitely helped a lot to retrain the default position of the tongue. But only now just trying to actually mew more regularly and consistently at age 41. Keep up the great videos. Keen to see a progress X ray in another year or two!
Thanks for sharing Scott, and thanks for the feedback!
Have you tried OMT (strength training of the tongue and upper airway muscles) to help with breathing? I’m looking forward for advancements in technology to ease the pain, time and cost associated with putting the missing legos back where they came from!
Your facial features have definitely improved. Your chin is larger and square and setting in a more forward position. If you carefully look at lower third of your face, you can see that it's much more projected. There's also a clear evolution with your gonial angle. Your mandibule is really better defined. Through my years of mewing I've discovered a technic to measure changes without X-rays. Your beard keeps the same location. But if you look carefully the way your beard is now surrounding your jaws, gonial angles and ramus is slightly different. My last obvious point is that your face seen from a front view is clearly larger.
Thank you for sharing, great to hear your opinions!
Quality content, thank you for a good video. I think you look better in the more recent photos. However, I think you're tilting your head up slightly more in the newer picture (I still think there's progress).
Thanks for sharing! Yeah, I wish the head angle was exactly the same. I'll pay extra attention to these in the next progress shots.
Well done for the honesty 👍✨
Thanks for engaging! It's a nice change, isn't it! :)
To me the most visible difference in your before/after photos is your cheekbones. You had droopy, downturned and tired looking eyes before, bur after 1 year your cheekbones became more prominent and started to support your eyes better. Now you have smaller, more focused, more deep-set eyes and a better mid-face structure. It can also be seen in the 45 and profile shots. Keep it going man, you will look even better in the coming years!!
Thanks for sharing those observations, let’s hope that you are right!
Great video! I have to say that I see a huge difference in the second picture that you show. I am no expert but I have to say that there is a better structure (o whatever is called) in the "after" photo. Even thou your dentist said that there might not be any difference because of the posture, I will keep up on mewing. It is true that when you keep your tongue resting under your hard palate you breath in a better way.
Thanks Augusto! Personally I believe that most of the difference is due to increased muscle size of the facial muscles as a result of progressive OMT training. Definitely keep using the optimal tongue posture, it's always nice to breathe well as a human! :)
The nose is clearly straighter in the second picture ! Well done !
Thanks for sharing!
it would be interesting to see an update this year!
I'll make one for sure. Did you check out last year's update? kzhead.info/sun/iNqCprKrrJxql58/bejne.html
I see a huge difference !!! Keep going ! I’m definitely going to do it !!!
Glad to hear Gabriella!
As a doctor, cuz used to looking at subtle differences like this, your before and after pictures look completely different, yes they are small changes but very obvious to me, your bones are literally different places, that is so awesome, I'm going to start recommending my patients do this, especially the ones with sleep apnea or sinus issues
Thanks for sharing, glad to hear that! Any aesthetic changes are a cherry on top of the cake. Better breathing and sleep are the cake. What do you think of the updated shots? kzhead.info/sun/iNqCprKrrJxql58/bejne.htmlsi=JbHgtWXecgUbcrav

😅@@papafico1402
I'm 24 with no hope, after your video and your age when you started you gave me SO MUCH hope .. mouth breathing made my eyes looks so so so tired, also I'm originally so beautiful like my mom but mouth breathing take this from me .. I'll start and I won't lose hope again your before and after photos are different you really got results ❤️
Hey @whocallednimi, thank you for sharing that. I'm glad to hear this video had that impact on you. I've written a thorough description of my journey and experiences with my orofacial problems, and I think you would benefit from reading it. You can find it halfway through this page. www.coachpyry.com/breathe
Other things to look at: practice chewing to strengthen your jaw as well. Forces your teeth to be pressed in (ie with harder gum). Ive been doing this now for about 3 months and my snoring has gone down 60% (!!!) I still have a long journey, but I think this stuff actually does seem to work. Im able to breath through my nose all the time now (up from only rarely last year).
@@Viper54K Glad to hear, mate! Chewing gum is awesome; I spend about 1-3 hours a day chewing on mastic gum.
@@coachpyry Hmm, I guess I'm going to have to try mastic gum. Never heard of it before but sounds great
Give it a shot! I recommend Mast Chew if you're based in Australia. @@Gkid8

This is the most truthful and believable mewing video/pictures I've seen, good job dude!
Thank you for the feedback!
change is incremental ~ The photos on the R look much more healthy and the energy ( life force ) is better . You look better for sure.
Thanks for sharing. I agree 100% about having more life force. Most likely due to better breathing and sleep!
i have never had doubts about mewing and since i've started i can see it more prominently
Thanks for sharing
Fantastic! Appreciate that you brought more objective measurement to this method!
My pleasure!
i came across this video after seeing the dr. mew mewing video because i wanted to see if it works but you both mentioned the benefits it has on breathing particularly at night. i suffer from asthma and sleep apnea and i have to wear a cpap mask, the idea that i can make any sort of impact on those problems is always exciting but the fact that you said that particular aspect of your experiment is the one that actually worked has made me very optimistic about trying it myself, so thank you for going about this experiment and making this video
Hi there, thank you for sharing that. I'm so glad to hear that the video had this impact on you. I'm also super excited for you because I know personally how much the quality of your life can improve after becoming a better breather both day and night. There is very exciting research about the use of orofacial myofunctional training to alleviate obstructive sleep apnea even in moderate cases (15-30 wake ups per hour) by 50%. I found it very successful to combine that with Oxygen Advantage based nasal breathing exercises that re-train your breathing to be light, deep and slow through the nose. I wrote an entire blog post that you can find on this page. It's quite lengthy but I've detailed everything that I've tried over the years and what finally worked for me. I think you'd enjoy reading it. www.coachpyry.com/breathe
Great video. Well done sir 👏
Cheers!
I think there is definitely a positive difference in the after photos / X-rays compared to the before. Nice work
Thanks for sharing your observations!
Very interesting video! I like the scientific approach to the topic, trying not to deceive yourself or the viewers. Thanks for doing the research and trying to do a proper before and after!
Thanks for sharing that, very glad to hear that you found it interesting!

Cheers, will do Chad!
@@coachpyry Brother please do a video when the year ends to see any progress. Youre the only adult (above 25) that have done this. It would be very valuable for the mewing community.
@@Juan-yj2nn I will, however I won’t be going under an X- Ray because of this anymore since it can have serious negative health implications.

What a well put together video
Thank you Yaya!
if you ask me, there is a significant change. well done, good video
Thanks for sharing! What do you think of the updated shots last year? kzhead.info/sun/iNqCprKrrJxql58/bejne.html&lc=UgyL2LamLZaeuvHaz3p4AaABAg
in the profile photo and on the X-ray it is clearly seen that the chin area was pulled up very strongly, the hyoid bone moved higher, and the position of the skull relative to the spine changed, the lower part of the face with the chin moved forward. that's because of the change in posture, not the bones. but this is a very cool result anyway
Thanks for sharing, explains why it’s so much easier to breathe these days!
My jaws are fine. I was under the impression that we were going to be pretending we’re cats. Carry on.
Hahah 😅 What a disappointment it must’ve been to realise I wasn’t mewing in the video
Excellent and informative video. Thank you for sharing

I can see a difference. Keep going!
Thanks for sharing! Will do!
you definitely look better
Thanks for sharing your opinion
8:56 the "S" Shape or Ogee Curve (or whatever you would call it) looks much more pronounced and improved, from cheeks to your chin (which now seems to stand out much more defined). Before everything was more like one vertical line, now you seem to have more of a curve. Even though it is hard to really see it as we don't see your face in exactly the same angle there? It is really hard to judge. The only way to know is for you to keep going and keep tracking the results like that! (13 months is not really a lot of time for a grown-up to make a real difference). Still somehow you do look different and your posture on all the after-photos is much better as well.
Looks the same lol

Cheers Fred!
Thankyou for this video! Glad to know it can work at our age
Hi mate, thanks for watching! Well, I was trying to make the point that while optimal tongue posture is definitely worth it from breathing efficiency and sleep quality perspective, it did not work the way most proponents of mewing lead you to believe. What are your personal experiences?
On the side shots your head is tilted backwards more, this makes the chin look stronger and the jaw more defined. It's evident looking at the forehead and the straight lines in the background. Same thing for the front shots. I can't tell if you also pushed your face forward, but if you did it would make even more difference. It's all about posture, not structural changes.
Interesting pickups. Thanks for sharing. I agree. The X-ray verifies that there were minimal structural changes. I hypothesize that the visual changes are due to increased muscle tone in the facial muscles following a progressive orofacial muscle training program.
His structure has improved and has had an upswing @coachpyry U sound like a coping orthodontist who is worried about his business lol
I wasn't able to breath through both nostrils before , then after a couple of weeks of hard mewing for like 20 minutes a day , I'm now able to breath through both nostrils......which before I just thought it was just not possible, this tells me it does work , but based on this video and others I've seen , if you are past puberty , its gonna be harder and its gonna take much longer to see obvious results because in your mid 20s your bones have harden ,its gonna take more force and a longer time.
Yes holding your tongue in the most anatomically advantageous position will make it easier to breathe through the nose.
You can clearly see changes in your eyes and cheekbones. No need for taking the before and after mewing pictures with a grain of salt! Keep it up! Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for sharing, but you missed the point. Please keep taking them with a grain of salt. I think that the primary reason for the sharper eyes and higher appearing cheekbones is increased muscle mass in the face due to my face muscle training program, not mewing.
Thank you so much bro for the content....lots of love and blessings😇
It’s my pleasure, same to you!
huge changes man your eyelid exposure, scleral show, dental facial growth expressed by chin protrusion and your gonial angle all obviously improved
Interesting pick ups, thanks for sharing!
I'm 20 y/o, been mewing for just a month and I kid you not, my eyelid exposure has reduced to almost nothing, giving me these piercing hunter eyes, and I've had a dramatic broadening of my midface area. Girls are treating me noticeably better.

Definitely the best mewing video I found on internet, greetings pal
Very glad to hear that, thank you for sharing that!
Great video and research. Thank you!
Cheers!
I literally started getting that oxygen high right after I started mewing. Goodness this is incredible!
Who would’ve thought better airflow would be good for humans? 😄 Glad to hear!
Me too
Can you please share with us the other exercises you did along with the mewing? Thank you for the informative video. I’m def subscribing for more!
The problem with making videos of these exercises is that the ones that are the most powerful ones require fine motor control of the face, tongue and upper airway muscles. You need to follow a logical series of progressions from very simple tasks to those more complex and challenging exercises. That's why I call it progressive orofacial myofunctional training. I've created a six week program which includes the exact progression of exercises I've used and progressive breathing re-training exercises. The program is called Breathe Sleep Perform, and you can find out more from: www.coachpyry.com/breathe
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and welcome to the channel!
Definitely there were changes. Keep going!
Thanks for sharing! Will do!
I can really see it at the top of your nose and under your eyes. You also look like 30% healthier. Thank you for sharing your thorough research to help all of us as well.
Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad if this has helped you at all. I feel about 360% healthier. Where are you on your journey?
I have been mewing for about 8 years now and my changes were pretty massive.... started at the start of 2015, would love to share my results. Changed my life! - Edited I am 34 now!
You won't share though.
stop the cap.... you have 52 subscribers if you wanted to share you can easily make a video and post what you want to share
I started mewing in 2016 October, I was 18 at the time. I was not comfortable doing it for a year, so let’s say 2017. I only have slight changes and idk how much of that is due to aging. So there’s that.
@mexifry222 I don't really want to make a video, how can I share photos?
@@danch10 upload to to imgur and share the link.
When Mike talks about bone growth he is usually referring to patients under the age of 10 years old which is the focus of his practice. A person stops growing after 25 years old, mewing then becomes a practice in adults to form proper function of the jaw. In the results, even though your bone hasn't "grown" the slight increase in forward position is a healthier and more functional position for the face to be in. Even though mewing wont make your bones grow it will change the STRUCTURE of your skull.
Thanks for sharing the perspective! According to many other orthodontists, the maxilla stops growing at the age of 7 and the mandible in late teens.
That’s completely untrue and unscientific. Nothing biological ever stops growing until it dies
B ones dont grow after 25 the structural change is the " growth" we are looking for
You mean the muscular posture?
@@sweetbeep The Maxilla (upper Jaw) and Mandible (Lower Jaw) are seperate bones connected via the jaw joint and its the position of these two in relation to each other that creates the position of the jaw. healthy and good looking position of the jaw is up and forward and craniofacial dystrophy (unhealthy and unattractive) occurs when the jaw is set back and down because of a forward head position which is a symptom of overall bad posture. space in the mouth and width of the face can also be naturally increased through mewing because the bones arent rigid but have these sutures running inbetween them which creates room for expansion when the tongue applies pressure to the roof of the mouth. (if you dont undestand look it up). Muscle tone can also have an apparent affect on the aesthetics of the face but not as impactful as bone structure. And also bad posture can be influenced by the muscles in and around the jaw and neck if they are tightened (shortened) or relaxed (lengthened)
Your "after" face looks healthier and your face is more handsome! There is definitely some sort of change, even if it's hard to define objectively. I think your efforts produced good results.
Thanks for sharing, appreciate you taking the time to comment!
I really liked your video, you must be a very nice and honest person, that alone deserves my congratulations. If all videos were that honest and so nice, it would be great.
Thank you. It's so kind of you to say that! I promise to make each of my long and short-form videos with the same honesty.
Drastic change brother wow definitely have more of a masculine face now!! Heard about Mewing 2 months ago, but actually started about a week ago. Do u think me being 19 years old I’ll see results faster ?
Cheers man. As explained in the video since there was no significant jaw growth I don't know how much of the results can be attributed to mewing. The notable changes seem to be due to increased muscle tone in the face, and this is because I have been training the facial, tongue and throat muscles with OMT exercises.
Maxilla may not have grown, but difference is visible. Jaws may have repositioned better, jaw muscles toned up etc. Chewing hard stuff and drinking thick liquids through straw is also great for face training and neck training helps define the face too.
Thanks for sharing your observations. I do like to eat steaks :) What's your favourite hard thing to chew on?
Thanks! a detailed prove of mewing!!
Cheers
Amazing information well done 👏
Thanks for sharing that, my pleasure!
In my opinion your eyes have more support after. Your eyes show lesser sclera under your pupils, that is a good thing. The eyes look more deep set (before more pottruding). In your video when talking i can see your midface is more compacter. I see great results.
Thanks for sharing D! 👊
Started mewing at the age of 14! blessed results so far. i've had so much maxilla growth the past few months
Good for you
I gained about 1 inch but still can remain hard for at least 10 minutes. It's also wider.
What innthe heck are you talking about?
@@dimitar297impressive. Your boyfriend’s jaw muscles must be looking great as a result
@@dimitar297bruh what lol
Thanks for doing this
My pleasure!
Got yourself a sub mate!
Awesome, welcome to the channel mate!
Im 32 but have experienced extreme stuff to my jaw, not mewing but from changing habits, and now mewing Im trying to fix the assymetry I caused. Im quite sure face changes all the time mildly but more so if habits change, or something extreme happens like bruxism tmj, dental work, botox in jaw, posture changes , nose deviation ( i have all these and my face changed a lot last years! ) Ill let you know if my mewing works, I m gonna look cute as hell by the time Im 33 lol
Thanks for sharing, Gal! The face changes indeed over time, especially because we lose bone as we age. Have you tried orofacial myofunctional training (OMT)?
@@coachpyry I will look into it thanks! Sounds interesting! I combine different therapies with psychedelics and it makes a world of difference and vagal exercises :)
@@thegalhorowitz Definitely worth giving it a shot! Let me know if you need some help with the exercises, as I've got all the ones I've done in a single resource.
I think this was a great video, and I see no intentions in the creator on trying to disprove mewing at all. More of him trying his best to find the truth. There's a channel I recommend you checking out called 'It's all connected' (used to be called The Mewing Channel) where a guy is keeping track of his year's progress. It's quite a dramatic improvement, I'd like to read your opinion.
Thanks, Driskoll, that's exactly my intention. I'll check it out!
Looking good mate. Can definitely see some difference👌👌
Thanks 👍
Wow this is the first video on youtube with proper xray analysis. I'm 34. had a jaw injury on my right side and 20 years later, developed arthritis. now I've been mewing for few months now. my breathing has definitely gotten better. numbness reduced. also it changed my face just a tiny bit. I'd recommend incorporating neck and trap exercises as well. Thank you for the brief video.
Hey mate, thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about your injury, but glad you've already seen benefits from proper tongue posture! Have you tried orofacial myofunctional training in addition to the exercise you're doing?
@@coachpyry no I haven’t tried. I will look into it. Thank you
It has changed my life, hopefully it will change yours too. Don't hesitate to ask if you get stuck. @@surreshk
@@coachpyry ok I will look into it thank you
The cheekbones are more prominent on your after pictures. That’s what’s different. So is your head posture. 😊
Thanks for sharing! What do you think about the updated shots? kzhead.info/sun/iNqCprKrrJxql58/bejne.html
You're right from the side view we can see that your maxillary complex has moved forward. You have better cheekbones and orbit structure. Unfortunately as you had teeth extraction your progress in this department will be limited at some point.
Yeah, that’s truly unfortunate.. The best I can do is to share the information and pass it on to my own future children. If time machines become available, let me know so that I can travel back to fix the situation 🤣
The difference between the left and right is very different. If you put a ruler on the each photo and draw a line from the top of the forehead at the hairline to the tip of your nose on both photos you will see a big difference in the angle of the slope of your face. Then measure the angle of both photos and you will see how much you have changed. The angels of the whole face has changed and looks much better than before. I haven’t even seen the whole video as I’m writing this yet. It has definitely been a positive change. Well done.
Thanks for sharing your observations! What do you think of the 2023 updated shots? m.kzhead.info/sun/iNqCprKrrJxql58/bejne.html
Nice video bro
Thanks man!
I had huge changes, started at 20 and now I'm 24. In about 2 years I got big improvements because I didn't just mew like everyone else, I wore a sleep mask to my sleep. That made me have changes every 2 weeks versus months to see any result (yes I tested it). I was pretty recessed before
Great that it worked for you! May I ask what kind of sleep mask you used?
sure would be interested too to know which mask it was and what was the purpose of it. Cheers
@@layn7115 just any eye sleep mask but put under the chin not over eyes. It made me mew automatically all night
Thanks for sharing your experiences! Have you noticed any changes in your breathing and sleep quality? Did you try any other myofunctional exercises?
@@coachpyry Yes both improved. No to exercises.
It’s unfortunate that people like myself had a lot of teeth removed as a child. My orthodontist removed 6 teeth and I always think I would look so much better with more teeth. My mouth is small and seems smaller as i age and my jaw is not proportionate. I have always suffered breathing issues since as a child and I honestly think children would benefit so much from this technique. And yes I notice a huge difference in your photos. You honestly look like a different person. Could be the hair and facial hair but still you look noticeably different and substantially
Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry to hear that, and I agree. This should be taught to all mothers of newborns. How is your sleep quality these days? Have you heard of orofacial myofunctional training?
@@coachpyry sleep is not great and no I’ve never heard of that but I will look into it!
Sorry to hear that. For example, here is a 2017 paper that concludes it can reduce obstructive sleep apnea by 50%, even in moderate apnea cases (15+ wake-ups per hour). www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4402674/ Personally, I tried everything from mouth taping to nasal breathing exercises to a mandible advancement split (which cost over $2000), and the thing that transformed my sleep quality within a matter of days was orofacial myofunctional training. Let me know if you'd like some tips on how to get started!
@@lorae7 ther is an app, SnoreGym, it helps me. It is basically mewing, I came to this trough sleep apnea. It is exercises to strengthen the tongue, throat, jaw muscles... so that your tongue doesn't fall and choke you. btw I had to pull my teeth out in my 30s, 2 I really had to because they were already inflamed, but they wanted to pull 3 more of them because "they are useless". So all together they would remove 5! I did not allow it, I allowed just the 2 inflamed ones. Even with 2 surgical opinions. It was more logical to me to keep the teeth, even if they are useless... somehow better to live with useless teeth than to have none?? I mean they don't touch and have grown in a bit false directions. Later I started reading Breath from James Nestor, I think he was the inspo for this whole mewing uprising and popularisation. he said that removing the teeth creates the apnea. I am really happy I didn't pull them out. I did not finish it yet but it is very informational, I noticed that Mike Mew from Orthotropics pulls a lot of info from there.
Hello Thank you for this valuable information. I am interrested of knowing more about MT, would you please help me?
Your cheekbones are much more defined, under eye shadow is less meaning the face probably came forward hence less under eye bag, and much wider defined shape, you look amazing!
Thank you for sharing!! What do you think of the updated shots? kzhead.info/sun/iNqCprKrrJxql58/bejne.html&lc=UgyL2LamLZaeuvHaz3p4AaABAg
Dude that's awesome
Cheers!
more mid face support and less scleral show on the right side. you have visible improvements
Thanks for sharing!
dude, i don't know if you are blind or something, but your face looks completely different after one year, i'm not saying this to "validate" you but literally from the facts, you look like a chad now. Also thanks for bringing this experiment to us.
Thanks for sharing! Haha, glad to hear.
His face is tanned
Good job. It’s nice to draw a line under this since the internet is pretty inconclusive
Thanks for engaging! Yeah, and people are wizards at photoshop! What's your current conclusion based on everything you've learned?
Yes, you definitely look better & handsome!
Far too kind!
I just find out about this name mewing about a week ago through my chiropractor because a i told her to check jaws because numbness in top of my ear She told I was okey I mentioned to her about my teeth that are totally.wore out to the roots that's when.She mentioned this mewing I'm 60 years old I have been seeing my dentist every ,6 months They been seeing how the top of my teeth are disappearing but they never told me any just ask me if wore a night guard always answer yes til 5 years ago they give the news that I was in need of total bite reconstruction 50 thousands dollars which I think not to many people are ready to spend So today watching this video I will give it a try because She said that when the tongue stays on top of the palate no grinding no snoring good luck.
Hey Aurelio, thank you for sharing. Geez, 50k... I bet that it would be great but meanwhile, there are other things that are completely free that will reduce the chances of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Check out this video: kzhead.info/sun/lq2Mh7SmjGtqgqM/bejne.html Hopefully it helps!
Yeah, these comments are very weird., When we want to believe in something, our brain will do everything to "prove" it to ourselves. It's interesting to see people saying that there's a big difference, when the only real differences are the haircut, the lighting, the position of the head in the photo and the beard, nothing related to his jaw. The X-ray don't lie, photos do.
Thanks for sharing! What do you think of the updated 2023 comparison? kzhead.info/sun/iNqCprKrrJxql58/bejne.htmlsi=twfPAo9jpUsv9eGC
@@coachpyry I just saw it and again, I don't understand why the person responsible for the photos didn't use the same lighting. The one on the right in the other video is clearly a softer lighting, which gives a younger appearance to any face and makes your features to look more balanced. We also need to analyze the context in which the photos were taken, as you said, the one on the left was taken during Lockdown and this could have contributed immensely to the overall look of your face.
@@coachpyry That's why Mewing is so strange to me... Until today no one has tried to control ALL the variables because there are thousands of them and maybe all of them can make a difference. And your diet? Physical exercises? Mental health? Body fat? And thousands of other things can influence the "healthy" look of a face.
@@coachpyry But thank you very much for trying to make a test that is more decent than all the others. I would recommend getting another x-ray or a full cranial CT scan.
@mick1243 Former "doctor" mew got his license revoked because he falsified evidence. Mewing in the sense of growing your jaw/bones etc. Is pseudoscience.
great video
Cheers, glad to hear!
Sir, I literally thought that it was a high sub count channel with thousands of subscribers when i started the video. reason being the video quality and presentation etc things which look very nice.. but then i saw subs and i was like.. wtf?!??!!? i'm subbing
Thank you sir that's very nice of you to say that. Glad to hear that you've also seen benefits. Let's do this!!
Same!!!! This is QUALITY content!
@@allysonkerr257 thanks Allyson, everyone has to start somewhere!
How long should you mew in day and how hard? I feel you shouldnt put too much pressure as this begins to hurt. I tried doing hard mew but then my to guess starts to hurt within few minutes and it's hard to keep the tongue in the right position.
Tongue should be suctioned against the roof of the mouth naturally. This shouldn’t cause any pain. Did you actually watch the video? 😁
@@coachpyry I did, maybe I missed out on it. Excuse myself for that. I appreciate you sharing the results. Hally for the results on your side. I have heard optimally it's good for just 6 hours of mewing per day. Is this sufficient?
@@unknowninfinium4353 You should be mewing throughout the entire day and hopefully in your sleep. 6 hours may prevent you face from getting worse but i doubt there will be much results.
@@unknowninfinium4353 Cheers mate! Ideally you would be able to keep your tongue suctioned against the roof of the mouth without much conscious effort at all. As explained in the video, there was no significant jaw growth. I believe that most of the aesthetic improvements are due to increased muscle tone of the facial muscles due to orofacial myofunctional exercises 👍
@@coachpyry Take care once again dude. Thank you for everything.
I have been mewing for 2 years now I'm very happy with the results even tho it's not a vast difference Always remember it's not about how long it's about how perfectly you do it
Well, knowing what proper tongue posture does to airway shape, it would be ideal to have the tongue carpeted against the roof as much as possible. Maybe you should compliment your mewing with progressive strength and conditioning exercises for the muscles of your face 👍 (Orofacial myofunctional training)
Very honest, thank you.
Cheers, glad to hear!
