Meowing is a technique that has become popular among supporters of natural appearance improvement. The technique is based on the correct position of the tongue in the oral cavity, which, according to experts, can improve the shape of the face and even have a positive effect on the health of the jaw joint, writes IZ. The author of this method is considered to be British orthodontist John Meow, who was engaged in research in the field of orthodontics. He discovered that the correct position of the tongue helps not only to form the correct bite, but also contributes to the harmonious development of the facial skeleton.
The essence of the method is that the tongue must be pressed to the palate in a certain position, which contributes to the correct development of the jaw. This can affect the overall aesthetics of the face: the oval improves, the appearance of the second chin decreases, and the muscles of the lower jaw are strengthened. In addition, this method helps to normalize breathing and improves swallowing function, which in some cases can even have a positive effect on overall health. Initially, mewing was used to correct the bite, but later it gained popularity among those who seek to make the face more expressive without surgical intervention.
Performing meowing does not require special equipment or complex manipulations. You can practice this technique at any time, simply by keeping your tongue in the correct position. To do this, you need to completely close your mouth, position your teeth so that the lower row is slightly behind the upper row, and then find a comfortable position for the tip of your tongue on the palate. After some time of regular performance, you can notice changes in appearance, which is what made this technique so popular among young people.
There are no contraindications to performing meowing, but the effectiveness of the method depends on regularity and correct performance. Doctors emphasize that achieving a significant effect is possible only with constant practice. Although the technique is not officially recognized medicine, it has found many supporters who share positive results on social networks. It is important to remember that meowing does not replace orthodontic treatment if a person has serious problems with their bite or tooth position.
