Tongue Placement
The core of mewing is tongue posture. You want the entire tongue pressed against the roof of your mouth not just the tip. The middle and back of the tongue matter most because thats what supports the maxilla. Think of it like suction, the tongue should feel "locked" up there. if your only pressing the front, your missing the point. over time this constant upward pressure can help guide the midface into a stronger position.
Teeth & Lips
Your teeth should be lightly touching or very close together. Dont clench that causes jaw tension and TMJ issues. Lips should stay sealed at all times. Mouth breathing ruins facial development, so nasal breathing is non-negotiable. If you cant breathe through your nose, you need to fix that first (allergies, deviated septum,etc.).
Posture
Mewing doesnt work in isolation. Your head and body posture matter. If your head is titled forward, tongue pressure wont translate properly. Keep your chin slightly tucked, crown lifted, and shoulders back. imagine a string pulling your head upward. This skeletal stacking makes sure tongue posture actually supports the maxilla instead of just pressing into empty space.
Breathing Discipline
Always breathe through your nose. Nasal breathing stabilizes intraoral pressure and keeps the tongue in place. Mouth breathing leads to long-face syndrome and weak jawlines. Nasal breathing also improves oxgen exchange and nitric noxide levels, which benefit overall health. If your nose is blocked, deal with it otherwise mewing wont work.
Consistency & Adaptation
Mewing is not a workout. You dont "do" it for 10 minutes a day. It's a habit you maintain all day, everyday. bone remodeling takes months or years, not days. The goal is to make tongue-up, lips closed, nose breathing your default state. eventually it becomes automatic, like posture.
Common Mistakes
1 - Only pressing the tongue tip.
2 - Clenching teeth too hard.
3 - Forgetting posture.
4 - Expecting instant jawline changes.
5 - Thinking mewing is a quick fix instead of a long term habit.
What to Expect
results can be different. if you already have decent bone structure, mewing can sharpen things up and imrpove breathing. If your structure is weak, dont expect miracles but you may still see subtle improvements over time. Think of mewing as maintenance and slow redmodeling, not a transformation jfl.
TLDR - Just read the goddamn guide and I had to write this all in my book before this
