If you’re interested in this topic and how to properly “mew” (practice good oral posture and other habits that encourage good facial development), check out the Orthotropics channel: https://bit.ly/2DciWp0
One thing missing from this discussion is the health impacts of having good oral posture. Considering the airway is at the back of the face, having a receded chin or maxilla could hinder your airway, having big implications for sleep apnea.
Clarification on the title: I of course don’t mean to suggest that attractiveness depends *only* on tongue posture. Nutrition of the mother and nutrition of the person during formative years surely play a very large role in how the face develops. In fact, the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration would suggest that; fat soluble vitamins being very important for fertility and proper development of young, with grains & sugar (“modern foods”) being very detrimental for development and oral health especially.
Oral posture would be another piece of the puzzle.
NOTE ON SUTURE FUSION: I wish I had used the phrasing “these sutures are not *completely* fused together,” or “sutures are not *completely closed* …” It’s understood that after birth, the sutures of the skull “fuse” together by age 2 or so. One study found that complete closure of certain sutures does not occur until as late as 70 years old. Another found that “The human frontozygomatic suture undergoes synostosis during the eigth decade of life, but does not completely fuse by the age of 95 years” based on 61 human cadavers aged 20 to 95.
This topic with a focus on facial development’s affect on respiration and sleep apnea is discussed in Dr. Felix Liao’s “Six Foot Tiger, Three Foot Cage” – https://amzn.to/2WMpPGk

On that note, Francis Pottenger's experiment with cats found that cats on a poor diet developed deteriorated facial structure by the third generation.

*AGGRESSIVELY PRESSES TONGUE AGAINST PALATE*
I have a tiny mouth, so your telling me that not genetic? (Every dentist I go to has said I have a tiny mouth.)
So popcorn and crunchy food being my favorite as a kid, gave me a defined jawline and fuller face? Nice
So what do we feed babies
Instructions unclear, I am now unrecognisable and have been framed as a Russian spy
Always learn stuff from your videos.
Interesting, but I'm afraid of how you use those 3 examples to justify that you can do this without appliances. Think man . .
Aww crud. I have proper tongue posture but still look like i was hit by bus. 🙁
bro ive always rested my tounge on the top of my mouth. how do u not it feels so weird
Interesting
What if you have an overbite tho
Can someone tell me how can a person rest his ringgit on their mouth roof it's not possible.
Lit that’s exactly what I’ve been doing my whole life
But their jawlines were completely different alrd. as children… Left is much more square face/ jawline
Watching this video I decided to take a picture of my face from the side and I realized my face is more rounded and my upper lip is out farther than my bottom lip. My tongue typically rests probably a centimeter away from my teeth on the top of my mouth. BUT, I put very little pressure on the roof of my mouth. What advice would you give to correct my facial structure. As well as is my tongue doing the right thing
any asian people here wanna start a friendship? I always wanted to make a random friend out of nowhere, I'm bored of meeting ppl normally
broscience has reached a new level
I'm super curious and want to try this but people already say I'm pretty and I might ruin it haha
Can’t believe that mewing is being taken seriously… thought this was a science channel….
Okay but why didnt I get orthoperfect face treatment?
Now i understand why my mom used to scold me for breathing thru my mouth…she didn’t want an ugly child😭
"These examples are not the strongest pieces of evidence."
Yeah. It seems promising, but I'd like to see a lot more research and study go into this.
My mom used to tell me not to breath through my mouth … The regrets I feel
Are you actually taking the piss?!? you can't change the shape of your skull by moving your tongue 😂
Lol what a worthless video
Hey WIL, are you aware that "bright side" did a very similar video to this, are you affiliated with them? They used some of the same images as well, or is it just flat out plagiarism
Lol type BBC neanderthals thats why or type SLC242 fish gene harvard university lol beyond your comprehension lol
Oh I see why I'm so ugly lmao jk
Esk*mo is a slur
4:49
That dog snapchat filter be like
The braces spoiled the lower part of my face
The braces spoiled the lower part of my face
The braces spoiled the lower part of my face
Bang bang Anti-civilisation gang
I actually did this since childhood and it change my jaw lol.
less than a minute in i'm already annoyed 😔💪
not because of the video but because it said the kid had "a gerbil"
kid should know you don't get a single gerbil 😔💪
Everyone listen up. This process of putting ur tongue up is called mewing. He told us how to do it incorrectly. You need to do it a certain way, otherwise you'll waste a year of pain and suffering. Go on Astrosky's channel to figure out how to ACTUALLY do it. (btw no hate on the channel 'What I've learned')
