The Mewing trend is rising on social networking platforms, attracting the attention of many people, especially those looking for non-surgical beauty methods. So what is Mewing and how to effectively perform this technique?
Mewing What is that?
Mewing is a method of training tongue and jaw muscles based on Orthotropics theory, developed by orthodontist Mike Mew
According to this theory, the position of the tongue and jaw muscles has an important impact on the shape of the facial bone structure. Practicing Mewing can help improve facial contours, reduce wrinkles, prevent sagging and improve breathing.
How to perform Mewing effectively
- Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth: Let the entire tongue touch the roof of the mouth, the tip of the tongue behind the upper front teeth. The tongue should gently but firmly press against the roof of the mouth, creating pressure on the facial bones.
- Keep your jaw muscles relaxed: Avoid clenching or clenching your jaw muscles. Jaw muscles should be kept in a naturally relaxed state.
- Practice breathing through your nose: Always breathe through your nose, not your mouth. Breathing through the mouth can cause the tongue to fall, reducing the effectiveness of Mewing.
- Exercise regularly:Maintain a daily Mewing habit, at least 10 – 15 minutes a day and divide it into short periods of time throughout the day to achieve good results.

Mewing entails relaxing the tongue and then placing it flat on the roof of the mouth. This exercise should be performed and repeated on a regular basis
Mewing also helps realign teeth and make the jaw more defined. For many people, Mewing goes against the bad habit of letting the tongue hang off the roof of the mouth when resting. But your tongue muscles will adjust themselves as you repeat the exercise. Over time, placing your tongue against the roof of your mouth will become an unconscious habit.
Suitable age to do it
- Mewing can be performed at any age, from children to adults.
- However, this technique will be most effective if performed at a young age, because the facial bones are still in the developing stage at this time.
- Children aged 5 years and older can start doing Mewing under the guidance of parents or experts.
Note:
- Mewing is a technique that requires perseverance and regular practice. It takes months or even years to see visible results.
