Does chewing with your premolars really induce ccw rotation?

[giga.mia]

Or is it complete bullshit? Some people are saying to chew stuff like mastic gum for a fucking hour to induce ccw rotations.

It does

Its doubtful whether you’ll actually see meaningful results from it unless you’re like 12, no harm in trying tho

Interesting, do u think I should try mastic gum or something else? Ik mastic gum is supposed to only be chewed for like fifteen mins at the most but that’s the only recommendation I’ve seen so far

Nah that shit doesn't work it's a cope like thumb pulling

Not to any meaningful extent, unless your under the age of 12. You are primarily putting force on the soft tissue and muscle rather than the mandibular condyle. Some studies show switching from molars to premolars has small, but slow changes in mandibular vectors. Overall it wouldn't hurt to try, but don't expect much.

I used to chew but i had shit masseter insertions so it just chipmunkmaxxed me and i quit

I was doing it like every other day tho, so if you keep chewing time short (5 mins) while spacing it out to twice a week + mewing you should hypothetically see results

Also make sure to stretch your masseter muscles and massage them, chewing mastic/falim gum without doing that is what causes people to have jaw issues

You should also chew regular food with premolars btw but id hope thats water

How can I know if I have shit masseter insertions?

Probs if you’ve got a very narrow looking face/jaw

If when you clench your jaw your masseters sit higher up on your jaw then the insertions are bad, growing them too much will make you look worse

If its really close to/basically on your gonion then those are ideal masseter insertions
