Mewing Explained: How to Get the Jawline of a Greek God | Dr. Mike Mew | Align Podcast #550
On this episode of The Align Podcast, Dr. Mike Mew dives into the science behind facial form and function, the missteps of conventional orthodontics, and how simple changes to oral posture and lifestyle could revolutionize how we think about health… from the face down.Dr. Mike Mew breaks down why crooked teeth, poor posture, and sleep apnea may stem from lifestyle, not genetics. He explains tongue posture, jaw development, and the rise of mewing as a powerful tool for health.OUR GUESTDr. Mike Mew is a British orthodontist, educator, and outspoken advocate for a radical rethinking of facial growth and modern health. Known as the leading voice behind the viral phenomenon "mewing," Dr. Mew is on a mission to uncover the root causes of crooked teeth, poor body posture, sleep apnea, ENT problem (otolaryngology) and a wide array of chronic health problems that stem from the way our faces grow — or fail to grow — in the modern world.500 years ago humans had excess space for 32 teeth but are now lucky to have space to fit 28, with wisdom teeth extraction becoming a right of passage, and premolar extractions all too common. The idea that this is genetic is on par with flat earthers. In the blink of an evolutionary eye, something very significant has occurred under our noses which we really don’t want to face up to. Following in the footsteps of his father, Dr. John Mew, Mike has challenged long-standing assumptions in orthodontics, arguing that crooked teeth are not a genetic inevitability, but predominantly the result of environmental factors — particularly poor oral posture and lifestyle changes in the modern era. His work connects the dots between facial structure, breathing, jaw function, posture, and overall health, making him a unique and sometimes controversial figure in both medical and wellness communities.Despite professional backlash, Dr. Mew has persisted in his efforts to promote awareness, education, and a more holistic view of orthodontic care. His message resonated deeply with a global online audience, especially adolescents and young adults, sparking a cultural movement and renewed interest in early intervention and preventative care.DR MIKE MEW🐤 X ▶ https://x.com/MewingByMikeMew📸 IG ▶ https://www.instagram.com/mewingbymikemew/▶ YT ▶ https://www.youtube.com/@mewingbymikemew🎵 TIKTOK ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/discover/dr-mike-mew🌐 APP ▶ https://www.mewingapp.co/AARON ALEXANDER📸 IG ▶ https://www.instagram.com/aaronalexander/🤳 TIKTOK ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@alignmethod👉 SUBSCRIBE ▶ https://www.youtube.com/@AlignPodcast?sub_confirmation=1🌐 WEBSITE ▶ https://www.alignpodcast.comABOUTAaron Alexander is a pioneering manual therapist and movement coach with over 5 years experience.
