Born in 1928, John Mew has been interested for years in the causes of malocclusion which, according to his conclusions, would be the result of the evolution of our lifestyles and not of genetics. It is more particularly our taste for soft and cooked foods who would be responsible for less sculpted and less toned jaw, gradually transforming the shape of the face and giving rise to many inconveniences. The whole thing would be linked, at the start, to a bad positioning of the tongue. The technique developed by the orthodontist in response to this phenomenon then aimed to strengthen chewing and swallowing functions to strengthen the jaw and realign key areas of the face.
But on TikTok, it’s at aesthetic purposes that users have revived this method.
It’s regarding getting a square jaw, getting rid of her double chin, making her face more harmonious.
And that’s without counting on those who see “mewing” as a anti-aging remedy. On this point, we are still looking for why… But it must be said that the “before/following” publications posted by TikTokeurs are quite spectacular, showing real results in just a few months.
