Have you heard of ‘mewing’?
Despite its name conjuring feline images, mewing has nothing to do with cats. In fact, it’s a practice that has existed since the 1970s and has gone on to gain widespread attention online in recent years.
This mewing exercise involves keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth, with the goal of making this posture a natural and habitual part of your daily life. If you were to search the practice online, you’d find its supporters proudly displaying their mewing before and after pictures and discussing their mewing results.
Myospots can help you with mewing by enticing your tongue to habitually elevate.
Here we discuss mewing, and how you can use Myospots to make mewing easy.
Mewing is the process of keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth. The technique, which initially gained traction for its potential to shape the face, has expanded its claims to reducing jaw pain, improving breathing issues, and even contributing to the correction of certain orthodontic problems.
As we delve deeper into the essence of mewing, it’s evident that this practice goes beyond a mere physical exercise. It is a conscious effort to create a positive habit, one that, according to enthusiasts, may yield a myriad of benefits.
Mewing is named after the British orthodontist Dr John Mew who made it popular in the 1970s. The practice has gone on to gain widespread online attention in recent years.
The foundation of mewing lies in maintaining a specific tongue posture throughout the day. The practice encourages individuals to make a conscious effort to rest their tongue against the roof of their mouth, aiming to make this new tongue position a habitual and natural part of their daily lives.
The mewing exercise is simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide to the mewing technique:
While mewing boasts a legion of online supporters who claim transformative benefits, the scientific community remains cautious. Despite numerous anecdotal success stories available from mewing supporters online, research continues in the growing field.
Studies have linked the positioning of the teeth and the tongue to the development of the jaw. Some common solutions proposed in these studies are in many ways similar to the concepts represented in the mewing exercise.
The effectiveness of mewing is suggested to vary widely from person to person, contingent on factors such as dedication, age, and genetics.
