Does Mewing Really Widen the Face? Evidence and Analysis

 

 Mewing, a term that has gained significant traction within the realm of facial aesthetics, refers to a technique advocated by Dr. John Mew.

This method emphasizes the importance of proper tongue posture, asserting that consistent application can lead to structural changes in the face, particularly the widening of the cheekbones, maxilla, and jaw.

The Mechanism Behind Facial Widening

At the heart of mewing is the principle that sustained pressure can remodel bone structure over time. 

Mewing And Wolff's law: How Bone Adapt to Pressure

Bone remodeling, a continuous process where old bone tissue is replaced by new, plays a crucial role in mewing.

The pressure applied by proper tongue posture stimulates osteoblasts (cells responsible for bone formation) in the facial bones, particularly around the maxilla.

This gentle, continuous pressure can lead to subtle changes in bone structure over time, contributing to the widening of the face.

    

      

How does Mewing Widen the face? 

The principle behind mewing's ability to widen the face is rooted in biomechanics and anatomy. Mewing applies multidirectional pressure on the palate, which is directly linked to the maxilla.

This sustained pressure encourages the maxilla to widen, subsequently broadening the cheekbones.
  
Additionally, the practice incorporates chewing exercises that strengthen the masseter muscles, further enhancing facial width through muscle development and bone adaptation.
  
A critical aspect of mewing, known as facial upswing, involves the upward and forward movement of the maxilla.

This movement not only enhances the prominence of the cheekbones and jawline but also shortens the midface, creating an illusion of a wider face.
