John Mews is offering a prize of £1000 to a registered Mewer who can demonstrate the most forward growth.

Competition Details

Hello Mewers you have seen how holding your jaw and tongue correctly can make big changes in the growth of your face. Now we are giving a £1000 to whoever does it best. Most of the improvement is due to forward growth but this is not easy to measure. So we have created a gadget for measuring the amount your face has grown.

Take a photo of the side of your face at 10 feet distance (3 metres). It must be at true right angles to avoid distortion and you must hold a millimetre ruler in front of your nose to establish the scale. After a period take another photo and then paste the two pictures into the Gnathiometer and it will automatically measure how far your chin has grown forward.

Below is an example. It will take a year or two before anyone has grown enough and then a £1000 will be given to whoever achieves most. You will need to understand three points on your face the Tragus is the lobe of your ear. The Nasion is where your spectacles rest and the Gnathion is the point of your chin. Make sure you mark the same area each time.

Growth is influenced by posture

Question:

So we could say, when the posture is correct aka mewing, the slide is going up. When the person isn’t mewing the slide is scaling down. But the slide never stays the same because at any point someone is either mewing or not (so it’s either going forward or backward) and there’s not really an in between (your either mewing or not ). So the slide is either moving forward or backward (but obviously if someone is at the maximum beauty they won’t be able to slide up the scale anymore). Is that right?

Answer:

Fairly close Tom, every person and animal grows to the shape set by its genes. However for the jaws only, this growth is influenced by posture (this is because the teeth have to meet perfectly and the genes are not able to achieve this.

Perfect posture creates perfect form but this is not instant it takes time. The longer you leave your mouth open the further down your jaw grows, but if you then start keeping your mouth closed it grows the other way.

So yes it is reversible and that is what Orthotropics and mewing do.

Soreness in Face

Question:

Is it fine that I feel soreness at the middle of my face probably my maxilla when ever I do mewing some time during the days I feel this weird soreness at the maxilla. Please tell me if it's trying to reposition or I'm damaging something.

Answer:

It sounds to me as though you are pushing with your tongue. Remember mewing is no more than posture, no pushing or sucking unless you are actually swallowing when you push on your rugae with your tongue before deglutition.
