I noticed many of us on here cnat make progress and when it comes down to it i think its consistency. i made the most progress early on when it was all i thought about and slowly that faded. But i think consistency is only half the problem. I think a lot of us just keep our tongue up and hope for the best.. but thats not how you strengthen a muscle.. it helps its like staying in a plank push up position for hours yeah itll strengthen you but only to an extent in my belief. So im going to try and tackle mewing like a workout program im going to do myofunctional stretches everyday and swallowing reps everyday of the cheesy swallow from mike mew. Im going to go for around 200 cheesy swallows a day and as much stretching as i can remember. Ill do this for a few weeks and let you know how it goes. Heres the video demonstrating the swallow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcI8CvoFxfQ
Hi!
Proper (push) swallow Is the main point i guess. I made It become an habit since the beginning ( 5 months ago). I had to ( even my dentist slightly suggest it), because I used to ingest a lot of air making me feel sick and "burpy". I am super fine now.
I keep gently stroking the palate with the tongue as if was modelling the clay, from back to front.
Good luck!
Take a look at this
IM AWARE BUT THAT PIC IS INTERESTING THAT might mean we shouldnt hold the tongue too far back after a swallow cause you see it goes all the way back then resets.
