The complete 2nd edition offers many intermediate to advanced techniques and guidance you can purchase it here. Mewing initially can seem like a lot to learn. You’ll be changing many habits you rarely - if ever - think twice about. Your best bet is to read everything up until Level 2 to start. Practice everything taught in the introduction and Level 1 and get comfortable with it. Then you can start reading Level 2 and then read “A Couple More Things” once you are comfortable with Level 2. And remember, mewing should be painless. The only “pain” you may feel is muscle soreness. If you feel any other kind of pain: contact a medical and/or dental professional. 2 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition WARNING: Use of the exercises and information shown in this eBook can result in injury if used incorrectly or if there are any pre existing medical conditions (e.g. TMD, tongue tie, etc.) which you are currently aware or unaware of.

Dr. Mike Mew is an orthodontist carrying on the work of his father, Dr. John Mew. Dr. John Mew discovered the tropic premise: If... ● The lips are lightly sealed ● Teeth are lightly touching ● The whole tongue is lightly sucked to the roof of the mouth ● And the individual is nasally breathing 24/7 The face will develop properly. In addition to good looks, the individual with a properly grown face will have zero allergies, stellar health, and above average athletic endurance. The reason for all of this being that a properly grown face has sufficient room for the airway and allows for the sinuses and organs of the cranium to properly operate. 4 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Dr. John Mew designed multiple oral appliances to guide the facial growth of young patients with much success. He also found a way to make these treatments work for older patients - who were done growing! Following treatment with the oral appliances, the patient would go about a series of myofunctional exercises - strengthening the tongue and jaw and also correcting the swallowing pattern, to name a few. These exercises would allow the individual to retain the progress made from the special oral appliances WITHOUT a retainer of any kind! This method of treatment is not orthodontics (correct teeth) but orthotropics (correct growth). Dr. Mike Mew started up a YouTube channel to share information on the work he does. Talking with subscribers, he found many of them did not have an orthotropist in their area. Dr. Mike Mew then went about teaching various myofunctional exercises he uses on his patients. He found these exercises 5 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition practiced alone could enhance the craniofacial structure. The exercises however, will not produce results as fast as an orthotropic treatment but, for someone without a local orthotropist - they are a lifesaver! The exercises were referred to by Dr. Mike’s followers as “mewing”. 6 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition What Does Mewing Do To The Face? Mewing restores proper craniofacial development by influencing the jaws to grow forwards, down, and out - making them overall larger. It could be said that approximately ninety-five percent of the population lacks ideal craniofacial development. Above is a sketch from this thumbnail from this video. 7 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition The Inner U and The Outer U The purple line is the inner U and the green line is the outer U. The inner U is essentially the maxilla (upper jaw) and the outer U the mandible (lower jaw). Many people trying to improve their looks usually over-emphasize the outer U (oftentimes via too much hard chewing). The outer U is important however, the inner U may be even more important. The inner U actually limits the development of the outer U. This means that improving the inner U can allow the outer U to improve - oftentimes without any specific exercise for it! Keeping balance between the inner U and outer U is essential for the health of the jaw joints and overall facial aesthetics. If you follow everything as I have laid it out, you will have no problem maintaining balance between the two. 8 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition LEVEL 1 9 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 1 - Nasal Breathing You must be nasally breathing throughout the day. Many people have a tendency to mouth breathe. If you are breathing through your mouth, your entire tongue can’t be resting on the roof of your mouth and your mouth can’t be closed. Nasal breathing is essential. When inhaling nasally, do so as if you were smelling a rose. 10 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 2 - Lip Seal The lips are to be lightly sealed when you’re not eating, drinking, or talking. Don’t smash them together and don’t let them fall apart. Practice keeping them sealed lightly. Proper lip seal allows the lips to maintain volume into old age. 11 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 3 - Butterfly Bite No, you’re not eating butterflies. At least, I hope you’re not. The teeth are to be lightly touching at rest (when you’re not eating, drinking, or talking). We refer to this as “butterfly bite”. Lightly touching - no clenching! (Don’t you love those chomper thingies at the dentist?) 12 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 4 - Tongue posture This is the one that will provide the most challenge, yet the biggest results. The whole tongue is to be resting on the roof of the mouth when not eating, drinking, or talking. Most people can get the front of their tongue up - and even the middle but - many struggle with the back third. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I made a video explaining tongue posture and going deep into how to posture the lower third/root of the tongue. Here’s the link. Many people have reached out to me about this video and said that, thanks to this video, they finally figured out how to get the entire tongue up on the roof of the mouth. I’ve also had seasoned mewers reach out to me saying that they learned something new about tongue posture. And remember, tongue posture is where you will see at least 90% of your mewing gains from - you cannot spend too much time working on it! 13 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Where is your tongue? So all those steps are the first bit of mewing you need to learn before moving on to the next level… 14 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition LEVEL 2 15 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 5 - Proper Swallowing Many people have retained an infantile suckle - a swallowing pattern in which the buccinators (cheek muscles) are excessively used (A.K.A. buccal swallow). People who retain this swallowing pattern usually tend to have what appear to be chubby cheeks - in reality, it’s just overdeveloped buccinators. Learning how to properly swallow can make a huge difference in the appearance of chubby cheeks. The neat thing is, after a couple months of dedicated practice, the cheeks will appear significantly leaner giving them a hollowed look. To learn the proper swallow, check out this video from Dr. Mike Mew and this one as well. 16 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 6 - Mealtime Exercises When eating, do you sit up straight - even when you’re about to eat a spoonful? Don’t worry if you haven’t, I didn’t either initially. Check out this video and for an easy way to make sure you’re sitting up straight as you eat. 17 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 7 - McKenzie Chin Tucks These are not only for correcting forward head posture but also, teaching the lower third/root of the tongue how to engage better. Do these every morning starting with 5-10 reps. Add a couple reps each week and build up to 20 at least, ideally more. Here’s the link. 18 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 8 - Hard Chewing Hard Chewing makes the lower jaw appear wider. It mostly improves the outer U. Before we get started, I highly recommend taking a week or two prior to hard chewing for myofascial release - massaging the jaw muscles. You want to be massaging namely the masseters, pterygoids, and various muscles of the neck as well. You can find videos on YouTube explaining how to do this. Once you’ve spent a week or two massaging the jaw muscles and neck, you will need some hard gum to chew. I personally recommend a mastic gum like Spartan Gum. I have also used Falim gum (which can be found on amazon). Start with one tear/stick of gum, chew for five minutes once daily or every other day. Then you can build up the amount of time gradually - eventually reaching an hour. 19 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Step 9 - Tongue Chewing This exercise has a tonic effect on the jaw joint. Many mewers are often overly consumed with hard chewing. Tongue chewing helps bring out the midface as it assists in moving the maxilla forwards. It specifically emphasizes the inner U. Here’s the link to the post in which I thoroughly explain how to do it. 20 Mewing: Secrets to a More Beautiful Face - 2nd Edition Final Words Rome wasn’t built in a day. Mewing does not deliver overnight results. Like weightlifting, the results come gradually with time. After a couple months of dedicated practice, you should notice a slight difference at least. Don’t let the subtlety of the difference discourage you. The slightest differences should be celebrated - most people don’t enhance their face at all over the course of their lifetime! Take pictures regularly so you can track progress. A year will show a solid difference in your facial structure. Years will make you look unrecognizable to old friends! -John themewingchannel@gmail.com It’s All Connected YouTube Instagram: @its_all_connected_official AFFILIATE LINK DISCLAIMER: There are affiliate links in this guide.
