Ive been mewing for about 2 years now with some great results and my face has changed dramatically. Considering that I had braces when I was young and had malocclusion so bad that I actually got braces put on for free because insurance payed for it (im not sure what the criteria for this was), and I now don’t even need a retainer, I have made some serious progress!
But I do have some ideas on why I was able to make such dramatic results while some people cant even make small changes after a year.
Dr. Mew seems to focus on 3 factors that influence the facial form. The tongue, the jaw strength and position, and head posture. All of witch certainly have influence, but I would argue that there are more.
If we take a look at a picture of a face with the muscles exposed….
Then we see that there are around 4o muscles that can be found in the human face and are all attached to bone, skin and other muscles.
The tightness, frequency of activation and use of these muscles can influence the face in a huge way. And I would argue that the reason that some faces can be long, thin, regressed, etc… and still be considered attractive, is that the way that a person holds these muscles can cause redeeming qualities in the face.
But we can see that how some of these muscles attach, and just visibly see how these muscles can potentially influence bone.
Here is a picture of someone with attractive eyes, and just pay attention to how the muscles surrounding the eyes are activated.
You may say it’s because he is posing for the camera but you can look up picture after picture of men with attractive eyes, and you will notice the same activation of the muscles surrounding the eyes.
What about cheek bones…
Obviously the tongue is going to have a huge effect in this area, but people with cheek bones tend to have some sort of tension held that causes them to be more prominent.
Now we can all agree that tension in the jaw area can cause bone development, so why wouldn’t it be different for other muscles?
I theorize that the reason that this facial tension is attractive is because a person under sunlight would naturally hold themselves like this, where as a person in modern society would relax their facial muscles as they are in doors most of the time.
This may be a reason why the popular athletic kids in high school who spend their childhoods outside where they wouldn’t develop allergies and would naturally hold their face to best be able to see in the sunlight, develop attractive faces, while the nerdy kids wouldn’t develop in this way.
I’m open to suggestions though, and wonder what you guys think. Let me know.
