For example, in a study conducted in 2014 published in the Korean Journal of Orthodontics, the corrective tongue posture technique was able to correct an overbite and bring the entire face forward. After a two-year relapse using retainers, the mewing technique produced lasting effects for 10 years now according to the study.
I would really love to see more of these kinds of studies to come out... especially ones establishing a clear link with proper tongue posture and various cosmetic/health benefits.The study concluded that: “The application of the tongue elevator resulted in intrusive dentoalveolar effects, and counterclockwise rotation of the mandible. Treatment results were maintained for six years, which indicated long-term stability. In conclusion, a tongue elevator could be an effective alternative for treatment of open-bite, not only as an active retainer, but also as a viable treatment method.”
-Tongue elevator is a piece of plastic or a dental appliance of some kind which you wear on your lower jaw. It elevates the tongue without you having to consciously do it.
Everything You Need to Know about Mewing
" Before we get into specifics, let’s get one misconception out of the way right off the bat: mewing is not a new trendy thing in cosmetics to make you instantly look better. Rather, not mewing is the modern phenomenon making people’s appearance worse. Mewing is simply a form of corrective therapy aimed at bringing our tongue posture back to what it should be. "
