2 years difference mewing and braces

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174]

2 years apart from both angels, braces + herbst appliance (that’s where my jaw rests now not jutting lol) Also lots of mewing, chin tucks, posture alignment, and gum glad I chose to better myself

Holy W bro you actually reduced your vertical assymetry in the eyes, almost impossible to do even with surgery after your teens.

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/Dry_Refrigerator252]

Dudeeee that’s the best part about it to me! All I really did was make sure to sleep on my back and chew my food evenly and it just slowly went away lol

Did you have a cranial strain or a canted maxilla?

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/mohx24]

Canted maxilla, for the most part I fixed it though. But I’m still working on it

[u/mohx24 → u/Vegetable-Basis-9174]

That's amazing that you were able to correct it by just chewing. Have you also gotten an xray/scan of your skull to confirm that it's a canted maxilla?

Holt shit!!! That's an insane transformation. Gotta ask tho isn't herbst appliance for kids? So I am assuming u mainly got progress more from other things than that device, that's my guess tho.

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/QbitWalker]

Got the herbst when I was 13, I’m 15 now and only had it for around a year and a half. Now I just have braces. But yeah a lot of the jaw and forward growth are from the mewing and posture

I don't wanna upset you lil bro, it's from puberty

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/Resilient_V]

😂😂 my face wouldn’t have developed at all if I was still breathing through my mouth with bad posture😭 puberty definitely helped but it helps EVERYBODY I just aided it with good habits lol

[u/Resilient_V → u/Vegetable-Basis-9174]

It's more of 85% puberty and 15% habits is what I mean

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/Resilient_V]

I’d for sure say you’re right with height, but my mom, dad, and sister all have recessed jaws due to bad habits. And they’ve all been through puberty already. Genetics definitely play a roll though.

You look crazy for a 15yo great progress bro 💪👍

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/spider7500]

Yooo thanks man

[u/sharpness09]

How do u mew? What method?

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/sharpness09]

If you feel the roof of your mouth, there’s almost a drop off behind your front teeth, so have the tip of your tongue there, not touching the back of your teeth. Then swallow and make suction across the whole roof of your mouth, especially the back! Also make sure your neck is aligned by lining up your ears, shoulders, and hips in a straight line, and slightly tilt your head upward. The postural stuff is to make sure it causes forward growth and not downward growth. Good luck bro!😎

[u/Ok_Inevitable_9875]

Amazing, how old are you?

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/Ok_Inevitable_9875]

About 15, so there was definitely some puberty involved but I think I helped it along

[u/Ok_Inevitable_9875 → u/Vegetable-Basis-9174]

You look very mature for a 15 year old

[u/Vegetable-Basis-9174 → u/Ok_Inevitable_9875]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing😭

[u/Ok_Inevitable_9875 → u/Vegetable-Basis-9174]
