Mewing: Difference between revisions

Some say the method is ineffective in adults.<ref  name="guardian" /> Anecdotal reports have described mewing by pushing the roof of the mouth forward with the tip of the tongue as a cure for lisps, as well as a technique for noticeably improving voice and singing quality, and slightly improving facial attractiveness.{{citations needed}} Even in adults due to expanding the mouth, making extra room for the tongue, allowing for speaking without the tongue hitting the teeth at all, and improving air flow out of the nose and mouth. Also, anecdotal reports have shown mewing using the entire underside of the tongue pushing against the roof of the mouth (the final phase of mewing) improves the voice and singing quality even further then when just the tip of the tongue is used. At the cost of a noticeably greater inclination toward mouth breathing at night. Currently, however, this is entirely anecdotal evidence. One can remedy night time mouth breathing by simply taping the mouth shut.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygbx6_hFxWw</ref>
