About 95% of modern humans have some degree of craniofacial dystrophy — the face and airway not growing to their full genetic potential. It isn't yes-or-no.
It's a spectrum, and where you sit on it decides whether mewing, chewing and posture work help you, or quietly make things worse.
In this video I explain that spectrum, and why the advice that's right for
someone at one end can be the wrong advice, or even a harmful one, for
someone at the other.
Some of you should not be forcing this. Here's how to tell.
00:00 95% of us are on this map
00:26 What craniofacial dystrophy actually is
00:48 Why no two faces take the same route
01:51 Mid spectrum: when heavy chewing provokes TMD
02:14 Higher up: why the vaulted palate defeats the tongue
02:33 Even higher up: Lip incompetence, the mentalis, and relapse
02:47 The tail end: when mewing is the wrong priority
03:28 Know your anatomical boundaries
03:50 My projects
