THE ESSENTIAL
- The name given to the mewing technique comes from the British orthodontist who invented it, John Mew, born in 1928.
- Some mewing enthusiasts also believe that these exercises would help with better digestion.
No need to think regarding cosmetic surgery anymore… A more natural method can firm up the face and give you a second youth! In any case, this is the promise of mewing, a technique for repositioning the tongue.
A method from the last century
Initially, this method was not designed for aesthetic purposes. Indeed, it was an orthodontist, John Mew, who theorized it in the last century. And it was his son, Mike Mew, who popularized it via his youtube channel Orthotropics.
Originally, John Mew worked on the impact of the environment and our habits on the evolution of the jaw. According to him, it is the human appetite for soft and cooked foods that would have redrawn, over time, the bottom of our face, in particular because we position our tongue badly.
Redraw the face
Once this observation was made, John Mew therefore developed a technique to strengthen the jaw and realign the main areas of the face… But one of the other consequences, which the orthodontist had not looked for, is that this method called mewing redraws the face: little by little the jaw becomes square and the double chin disappears…
On the internet, some also claim that mewing might firm the face and thus have an anti-aging effect. Thus, for all the virtues of this technique, it has become viral on many social networks, including TikTok, where content publications showing the results of this technique are multiplying. But then, how do you do mewing?
Promote breathing through the nose
Before obtaining results, it will be necessary to compel you with these small exercises during several months each day. But the method is simple: keeping your mouth closed, put your tongue once morest the palate without touching the front teeth and breathe through your nose.
