What is mewing and how does it help to correct the shape of the face

Finally, we can say with confidence that there is a way to become more beautiful without making any effort and without investing money in expensive cosmetics and procedures. A beautiful oval face, sharp cheekbones and a chiseled chin can be obtained... by keeping your mouth shut. This is how you can briefly describe the mewing technique, which is rapidly gaining popularity all over the world.

Do not look for the word "mewing" in dictionaries — this method got its name in honor of the creator — orthodontist Mike Mew. This doctor is a descendant of a famous dynasty of doctors, two generations of which have studied the features of bite in ancient and modern people.

This method is simple and accessible to everyone, because it only requires a person to keep his tongue in his mouth in a certain position. Mew leads a YouTube channel dedicated to face correction using his own method. His ideas are not supported by official medical science, but are welcomed by millions of people in different countries of the world.The main task of mewing is to keep the tongue pressed to the palate in a certain place. This is a small depression located almost close to the front upper teeth. It is in it that you need to place the tip of the tongue. The teeth should be clenched or at least in contact with each other.

To simplify the task for beginners, there is a simple instruction: pronounce the sound "ny" and, without changing the position of the tip of the tongue, press it to the palate. From the first time, this task may not seem so simple, but with a little practice, you can bring its implementation to automatism.

Usually a person has to control the position of the tongue only for the first few days, and then he gets used to it and everything happens naturally and without special efforts. After that, you just need to learn how to swallow correctly, effectively using the deep muscles of the tongue.

Many people think that the tongue is a muscle, but this is not so. In fact, it is a muscle and consists of 16 muscles. Holding the tongue in the position described above, you will feel the lower part of the face tense up. This is because the neck and chin are also involved in muying.

Increasing the tone of the muscles located in this zone, the bite is corrected, for which the method was actually developed, and in addition, a pleasant side effect is manifested — the oval of the face improves. The chin protrudes slightly forward, the cheekbones are strengthened, the "wings" disappear and the entire contour of the face becomes clearer. This technique works best in combination with proper nutrition.The method is worthy of attention, because you do not need to buy anything and spend time to use it, as in the case of facefitness. The creator of the mewing himself believes that the position of the language proposed by him is completely natural for a person. The doctor suggests getting used to it gradually, starting with several visits a day and making sure that the mewing becomes a habit.

Muing results

The easiest way, Mike Mew believes, is to achieve the goal by creating some persistent associations. For example, you can check the position of the tongue every time you open the door or glance at the phone screen. It will take several weeks to develop a reflex and the first results will not take long to wait.
