Mewing and thumbpulling

[Fart Reaper]

So I started looksmaxxing in 2018, I was in biology class and we were learning about bone mass and facial bones...

I was around 16 yo... Me and my homies started having good diet and good nutritient for are selves and also alot of sunlight

One day are proffesor was talking about maxilla and stuff and how it is effective, he said that there is a doctor that said you can change your maxilla by putting an constant pressure on it referred as mewing these days...

I started mewing and it actually makes a drastic change.

Although he claimed that any extra force (Thumbpulling) won't truely chagne your face... To correctly do it is by putting a constant pressure.

But I later asked him what if you put a lot of force than a lower but constant force where he said that it could work but he isn't sure.


So mewing works but thumbpulling only works if you mew afterwards

Or hear me out here. JUST FUCKING GET A PALATE EXPANDER. If you genuinely take time out of your day just to do ts ur retarded not to mention ur thumbs are NOT strong enough to do anything to your upper jaw. Do you know how strong the human jaw is?

it depends; the maxilla is horizontally expanded through the mid palate suture thanks to the constant pressure of your tongue (mewing) in early years of development, so applying strong and frequent force may logically loosen up the suture. after around 21 years old the mid palate suture is fused and likely needs surgical intervention to be expanded (MARPE/SARPE)

It can take along time but it works, palate expander just expands your maxilla but doesn't do a shit in forward growth

yeah mewing and thumpulling only works during the period of puberty later on it wont

I'm not denying Mewing works and is beneficial during development but thumbpulling is useless

Yeah but thumbpulling combined with mewing will just boost the process by a bit but otherwise it's useless

fowards growth of the maxilla can indirectly be achieved thanks to palate expansion, but there are other orthodontic appliances to achieve forward growth of the maxilla

thats right, thumbpulling and mewing are theoretically almost the same thing

 

[Fart Reaper]

thats right, thumbpulling and mewing are theoretically almost the same thing

but one is just force that is applied for a certain time and one is constant pressure , but mewing works overall better

we have very few data and studies on this, all we know is that there is some logic on why thumbpulling could work and there are some people on the internet that swear it does. if you are over 16 or around that mewing might now work that well so why not try thumbpulling

if you want to start the only person that seems to have shown real and clear results with thumbpulling seems to be Jordan Wood

I’m 17. Should I get marpe. I want to expand maxilla. But also fix with narrow palate and breathing. Would insurance cover it?

 

[holytruecoper]

oh yes bro, masai jumps helped me grow from 4'11 to 6'7

this picture is kind of useless, you should have taken a photo of your palate to make us able to give a take on if its too narrow or not. if you are really serious about this you may consult an orthodontist or myofunctional therapist specialized in airways to improve breathing and jaws structure

@Roan cant reply directly to the palate image you sent for some reason, but its clear that your palate has a good U shape, so i dont think most orthodonstis would suggest you to expanding it even further. i guess you could still ask the opinion of an orthdontist or myofunctional therapist so that they can see you more clearly, but i think they would probably say the same.

I can’t fit tongue at top of mouth. How is it a good u shape. I have never seen someone with this narrow of a mouth before. It’s difficult to speak sometimes and I don’t like how narrow it feels. I’m going to ent first. I just want more space. It feels annoying and mid face is underdeveloped with breathing.

@Roan i think its just AI being wrong on this, try to send more clear picture to @sarathemyofunctionaltherapist on instagram, she does respond to DMs and does review on celebrities faces

 

[Michelangelo]

@Roan i was wondering, did she reply to you already? or did you ask her at all?

I messaged her on instagram. No reply.
