Old chinese philosophy talks about miridians and special ‘points’ around the body, interestingly they did talk about resting the tip of the tongue aga…

I don’t think your nose is too large, I think your mandible is too small.Which is lucky because the mandible is known to grow automatically well after…

@paperbagInteresting, my tori is non existent at the front of my palate and thickest at the back. Perhaps it’s an indicator of misgrowth, where you pe…

@auxiliarus It also depends on the width of the tongue as to whether a palate is considered “small” I have a palate in the early 40s yet my fricki…

@paperbagNo updates sadly. I am experimenting with a new idea and hopefully that works so I can share it with everyone, but that wont be for at least …

the Brad Pitt one is hard to tell, honestly i think he looks pretty similar craniofacially, he’s just aged a bit. Hence he doesnt have the same charm …

I personally am sketched by procedures like MSE and appliances, to think we know better than nature is dangerous and who knows what sorta implications…

John and Mike recently released a video after a long hiatus and mentioned that they have seen some promise with older patients. Mike still states that…

For gods sake someone prove him wrong!

@eddiemoneyI’d love to see a before-after on your progress!

it took me a few months at least to start waking up with my mouth shut and my tongue up. it’s taken me just over a year to start mewing symmetrically …

Start, one year, and two year. obvious camera distortion ruins the last frame but the first two are pretty good. edit:Here’s another gif focusing…

This is a regular part of strengthening your tongue and its related muscles. If you atrophied back to how you were you’d be in the same position pre-m…

@elwynnI think squatting is some kind of calibration that aligns joints to a proper position. The paper “Instinctive sleeping and resting postures: an…

Interesting to see how low his under-eye bags sit despite his eyes sitting high up in the orbit, from this I imagine his orbital bones are more oval s…

@eddiemoneyI still have the strong belief that this ability is necessary for proper movement, and not just for resting. Impact absorption such as fall…

Yeah, on the soles. Imagine being able to ‘sit’ comfortably anywhere, not needing a chair and without getting your [cheeky bottom] wet or dirty. Tho…

@paperbagHis eyebrows are receding too, very interesting. He has good features but without seeing his teeth/palate I can’t make judgement on his perso…

@elwynn I have to say that since being more mindful of my walking and keeping my arches up, my ankles and kness have been significantly less achey a…

The human body is an amazing thing and moving healthily with good posture and correct muscle use will over time nudge our whole bodies back to their i…

@elwynnThis isn’t necessarily important but having good muscle control around the ears, back of the head, and front; helps circulate blood through the…

I have thought about this myself. My traps are relatively large and developed, and if im not careful they tighen up and pull toward my ears. Try bendi…

You have an excellent base, considering your widsom’s look like they’re almost fully erupted, you already have a very respectable palate. I think you …

@azrael It’s far oversimplified, the gonial angle isn’t really important to illustrate it, the focus was intended to be on the nasal bone’s relation t…

This is rough but I hope you see the general idea. I’m stuck with MS Paint unfortunately

I’m almost certain camera distortion is affecting these images, but her jawline now exists, which is irrefutable. However, she’s facing her head towar…

@eddiemoney Its possible that the nasal suture’s growth can affect how the nose cartilage angles relatively. Like how the bottom nub of the opening of…

@horatio The pituitary gland is at the base of the brain housed inside the sphenoid. It sends out and regulates many hormones, including growthThere’s…

I think the pituitary gland has more importance than many of us give it credit for. As it stands, quite a few of us probably have a low functioning ho…

Unfortunately those of us with “straight” noses + recessed maxilla end up with a big ol nose bump and downturning at the tip particularly when smiling…

@elwynn It might help get more chin prominence but also need to be careful it doesnt turn into a lower lip biasIt’s more about looking better soft tis…

I dont think her development is that outstanding, she has excellent outer U but her inner U seems shorter than her mandible implies. To me her upper l…

likely your mandible isn’t going to change much unless the maxilla moves with it. Mewing of course will be your friend, if nothing else it’s just good…

@sergio-oms whoa settle down I don’t think surgery is the only way man.give this site a read @Azrael it might give you a deeper understanding of asymm…

As Elwynn says masticory activation is based on how forward your mandible is related to your maxilla. a maxilla that is set back usually is more tempo…

@disregard AGGA pushed Ead’s anterior teeth almost out of the aveolar bone and he could lose an incisor now because of it

great apes tend to sleep on their side with an arm serving as a pillow, though this requires a bunch of shoulder flexibility. sleeping on a single pil…

the shape of your eyes is quite sharp (imo looks good) and while there is some asymmetry it’s nothing out of the ordinary. That general shape of your …

@Apollo so we recommend suction to resolve torus palatinus, not pushing?

As long as you chew and have some level of molar contact during expansion wont the bottoms/tops tip to stay in contact? It’s not ideal but better than…

Your maxilla looks forward enough however the growth looks directed more downward. You have a very classic case so most of the information here regard…

@elwynn It’s hard to gauge changes based on individual features but looking at the big picture you look better in general. Around the eyes and your sk…

@elwynn I held my molars together in their comfortable occlusion and had my tongue on my palate cluelessly in the beginning, I was clenching a lot, I …

@cassavafiend Yeah, shoulda just said soft mew, lol You said the left side of your tongue is weaker which over time would lead to asymmetry, which cas…

@elwynn Considering the quality of your comparisons I’d love to see them

The guy disappeared a while ago, his name’s Jamo, never again i think is a statement. Implying he’s gone.Here’s some rare Jamo I found when I went div…

That sounds terrible man, jesus.It sounds like you forced something out of place, or made an adjustment in your skull that the rest of your craniofaci…

@mformewing If your jaw is at all messing with your ears I’d be very careful.Use this as a reference to find where you’re feeling adjustment, if your …

For tongue tie I believe there are exercises that stretch your tongue so It can function properly. For the asymmetry focus your tongue posture more on…

Have you seen Ronald Ead’s videos on AGGA?I strongly recommend watching them if you haven’t

@mformewing Avoid too much pain, and make sure youre not pushing your jaw into your inner ear.Which suture site is being stressed?

Im no dermatologist but I believe circulation and skin health would correlate more with muscle and soft tissue (where the blood circulates to your ski…

A fascinating read on mental/physical health and dentition of isolated communities relative to modern society.Don’t know where else to put it, but it’…

Yes forward maxillae is of paramount importance to facial esthetic imo, I think the front teeth should be at minimum in line with the soft tissue of t…

@eddiemoney I believe incisor/canine contact is a strong component for both prognathic jaws and a defined brow ridge Does your class 3 mean your chewi…

@eddiemoney It looks like vin lacks much of either masseter or temporalis and as such seems to have developed neither forward or upward or much of any…

The same as you would regularly just with your jaw juttedI understand what you mean though, It’s extremely uncomfortable especially around the anterio…

I have been thinking about this thread for a while now and I have some Ideas I’d like the share:To oversimplify:The Temporalis pattern is responsible …

Its possible for the condyle of the mandible to push against the hearing complex and cause pain and disruption. Fixing your posture will improve almos…
