2 1/2 years of mewing and correct swallowing (17 to 19 in photos)

[EliS111]

I discovered mewing around August 2020 and stuck with it until around October 2021. I stopped because I thought my uneven mewing was causing asymmetry in my face and palate. A year went by, and I realized that it wasn't necessarily my uneven mewing causing the growing asymmetry, but mostly my uneven swallowing. At this point, I tried everything to strengthen the left side of my tongue, but nothing worked since the back portion of the tongue responsible for swallowing works subconsciously. I believe the solution is to go to a postural restoration therapist, as my whole body is working asymmetrically, but they are expensive and hard to come by. Now, I'm just watching as the left side of my face slowly recedes downward. At least my palate got wider.

I feel like this shows the change pretty well. It
expands much more on the right side.

how can you prevent uneven swallowing and mewing. Have you applied any tips or suggestions to try to fix your condition?

Right now I’m doing a lot of myofunctional therapy and neck stretches which is helping but, again, if you have asymmetry throughout the rest of the body like I do doing these things won’t fix the subconscious swallowing pattern. Try “best face forwards” neck stretching routine along with a variety of different myofunctional therapy exercises first and if it doesn’t work look into PRI (postural restoration therapy). Neal Hallinan has a lot of great videos on the subject.
