Does “mewing” works?

I am very skeptical. Its exploded all over my YouTube suggestions (perhaps because I favorite a lot of self help material). Seems very popular among the demographic that researches "how to Looks Max". It stems from one guy, Mike Mew, who was expelled from the British Orthodontics Society. In the USA, my friends who are dentists and oral maxillofacial surgeons scoff at the idea. For me, it comes down to lack of controlled studies rather than the numerous, vague YouTube testimonials with suspect lighting or documentation. He claims it works best among elementary school children. How he couldve managed to get 6 year olds to give a crap about mewing, I have no idea. If you could give yourself a Chad sized jaw, this would have been commercialized decades ago.

Mewing is just correct mouth posture. So even if it doesn’t magically give you a granite jawline, you should be doing it for the sake of proper respiration, etc.

Your mouth naturally mews when it’s shut

Possibly but it's pretty impossible to keep up with.

It will definitely stop long face syndrome. In theory, constantly applying force on the maxilla over a long period of time should remodel the bone structure. How much remodeling? Well probably not a lot since the results post puberty aren't compelling enough but you should be mewing regardless.

First off, you can NOT be a mouth breather. if you can't breathe properly from your nose, then you can't keep correct mouth posture. You can't mew.
