Mewing

Find a resting position

Place the tip of the tongue towards the front of the roof of the mouth, just behind the upper teeth, without pushing on them. Let the tongue settle naturally rather than seeking forced pressure. The goal is a position that is easy to return to at rest, not a contraction that you must maintain with effort.

Release the jaw

Bring the lips together without tightening them and leave the teeth slightly separated. The jaw remains relaxed: this landmark does not require contracting the masseters. Breathe through your nose if the air passage is comfortable; A persistent obstruction must be understood before attempting to keep the mouth closed.

A reminder during the day is enough

Check your location at a few familiar times, such as when you sit down at your desk or start a walk. Replace it if necessary, then let it become a habit. You don't need to count repetitions, time practice, or monitor every moment the tongue moves for speaking and eating.

Go further if the function is problematic

If the position remains difficult to find or is accompanied by a problem with swallowing, speaking or closing the lips, an assessment helps to understand what is blocking. Possible rehabilitation will be adapted to this difficulty. Mewing learned in a video does not replace this work, nor orthodontic treatment when a dental problem warrants it.
