: Can think of a few reasons, like first, when looking at mewing before and after pics of adults. Theres a clear and noticeable difference, but the difference is not life changing. Like the person is only moving up 0.25 points on the [[decile]]. The before and after pics are not like the before and after pics of recessed maxilla correction surgery, where the patient goes from a trucel to a straightup chadlite. Also Mew is definitely blackballed from a business standpoint now, so someone other than him would have to get financial backing to do the study at this point. Mewing should be just another technique in the looxmaxing arsenal, not an end all be all to escaping inceldom, like how its been paraded around to be. Been mewing for months now and the best results have actually been on the voice, and singing ability. Which for some reason Mew doesn't talk about much if at all. | : Can think of a few reasons, like first, when looking at mewing before and after pics of adults.

Another guy had the same mewing issue as me with increased proclivity toward night time mouth breathing, still also had an increase in singing ability! https://www.reddit.com/r/orthotropics/comments/cfzzto/developed_horrible_oral_habits_when_sleeping/ [[User:Mikey|Mikey]] ([[User talk:Mikey|talk]]) 03:07, 31 December 2019 (UTC) | |||
::: Still if something is supposed to show impressive results within 6 months as in the book, it should have been replicated a couple of times by now, especially being dirt cheap to do. This suggests the results have been cherry picked and the method has a small effect if any. Probably almost none on adults. Sure classical orthodonics have incentives to shut this down to sell their more invasive surgical methods, but they cannot control something that almost costs nothing and for which you'd even find plenty of volunteers as very clearly the demand for such techniques is there. This seems implausible.

:::: Impressive is entirely subjective. The author may find a 0.25 or even a 0.50 point increase on the decile without surgery as impressive. Also none of the acedemics use the term mewing, instead they use the term tongue posture. Also on an unrelated note found an obscure study on a more attractive facial profile being correlated with getting hired for a job. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5484273/ | |||
