Mewing: The Surprising Impact of Nasal Breathing on Oral Health and Facial Development

At Midwest BioHealth, Dr. Johnson, a leading expert in airway health and development, emphasizes the transformative power of Mewing—a technique that combines nasal breathing with proper tongue posture. This simple practice can significantly impact your oral health and facial structure, benefiting individuals of all ages.

Chronic mouth breathing, particularly during childhood, can hinder proper jaw development, resulting in a narrow airway, flattened cheekbones, and a weaker jawline. Mewing counteracts these effects by encouraging nasal breathing and proper tongue placement against the roof of the mouth. This supports the forward growth of the jaws, promoting a wider, healthier airway and enhancing facial aesthetics.

The Advantages of Mewing Extend Beyond Aesthetics:

• Improved Airway Function: Mewing expands the nasal passages, reducing snoring, and potentially mitigating sleep apnea symptoms.

• Enhanced Facial Structure: By promoting optimal jaw development, Mewing can accentuate cheekbones and create a more defined jawline.

• Healthier Teeth and Gums: Nasal breathing stimulates saliva production, protecting teeth from decay and gum disease. Additionally, proper jaw alignment achieved through Mewing can reduce teeth crowding, potentially minimizing the need for orthodontic treatment.
