Mewing has become a viral trend on social media. Many claim that this technique can define the jawline and even straighten teeth. But does this tongue exercise actually work, or is it just another internet fad? Let's look at the science and separate the myth from the reality.<\/span><\/p>

What is mewing?<\/span><\/h2>

Mewing is a technique that involves positioning the tongue in a specific way to supposedly improve facial structure over time. It was developed in the 1970s by orthodontist Dr. John Mew, who believed it could correct misalignments of the teeth, jaw and sinuses, as well as improve breathing and speech problems.<\/span><\/p>

Nowadays, however, mewing has become popular mainly for aesthetic reasons \u2013 many people believe that it can improve the shape of the face and emphasize the jawline.<\/span><\/p>

How to do mewing?<\/b><\/h3>

The basic steps of mewing include:<\/span><\/p>

  1. Place the tip of the tongue on the palate, just behind the front teeth.<\/span><\/li>
  2. Closing the mouth and slightly pressing the teeth together.<\/span><\/li>
  3. Flattening of the entire tongue against the palate and tension of the jaw muscles.<\/span><\/li>
  4. Maintain this position for a few seconds and repeat it several times a day.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Does mewing really work?<\/b><\/h3>

    Despite its growing popularity, there is no scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of mewing. Studies do not show that this technique can change the shape of the face or correct dental problems. What's more, Dr. John<\/a> Mew lost his orthodontic license due to the use of unconventional methods, including mewing.<\/p>

    The main reason mewing is ineffective is that simple tongue exercises do not exert enough force to significantly affect bone structure. Unlike braces or medical procedures, mewing does not offer precise and measurable effects.<\/p>

    Risks and potential side effects<\/b><\/h3>

    While mewing may seem harmless, it can lead to undesirable effects such as:<\/p>
