Facial asymmetry
-
Anyone got any ideas to combat facial asymmetry? I’ve thought about mewing but would that be it? Should one ropemaxx?

@raphadv Face-pulling is very effective. The technique required and time it takes to correct will vary according to the plane of asymmetry and how frequently you practice, but basically place a thumb in the palate and the other thumb on the suture of the facial plate you need to push forward and upward, push in the direction of these arrows indicated depending on your type of asymmetry. Your facial plates expand and contract at a microscopic level with every breath, so push with force on inhalation move the plates and hold with soft force on exhalation to retain position. Practice for 1-3 minutes repeatedly throughout the day, every day, and you should see progress within a couple weeks.
You should also be hard-mewing, which involves assuming a McKenzie chin-tuck and creating a suction-hold with the tongue to the roof of the palate and maintaining force with the back of the tongue. Passive mewing alone is not going to get you noticeable results, but if you combine face-pulling and hard-mewing you should see correction quickly. And start sleeping on your back.

D3+K2 and calcium intake is important for building muscle and bone structure but you can target certain areas through stretching and targeted exercises. Mewing being one of them.
People talk about mewing in relation to building their mandible but when you focus on particular areas, it can help build facial symmetry. Using mastic gum or chewing with only one side of your mouth can help build underdeveloped areas.
Focusing on the muscles in the jaw can help you activate areas that you want grown. There's some book relating the mental control of muscles allowing better activation of certain muscles. It can be applied to lifting.
I've dealt with a lazy eye and been able to improve it through only looking through that eye or doing focus exercises.

@raphadv you have to see what causes it in the first place. Civilized people always have some degree of asymmetry due to having a dominant hand from writing. Jerking off too much also causes it. Mewing with focus on chin tucks and bite alignment can fix it quickly if that's the cause but if it's from sth like a vitamin d deficiency or a bad sleeping posture during infancy which have deformed your skeleton then it's probably unfixable

You should try inter-oral exercises, mewing (only if appropriate palate size), chewing, proper swallowing. @mewing.world on a Instagram has good resources.

@ozma what would be the ratio for k2:d3 ?

@raphadv
check out Conor Harris video on youtube on asymmetry of the face and bodyAlso a restricted tongue can have an affect

@zgoombrah never knew sleeping on your back was that important always read that it and side sleeping were interchangeable. I feel like I can’t fall asleep on my back lmao

@raphadv I think it’s set by the toroidal shape/rotation in the womb. Same processes that cause scoliosis. Cortisol may be a primary driver. I think DHEA, vitamin D, K and calcium/magnesium all work together to return coherence over time
