I've been obsessed about my tongue posture for months but I started obsessing heavily somewhere around early October, around mid October I was constantly playing around with my tongue inside my mouth to find the "perfect" oral posture and by October 27th ish I developed a weird slight lower jaw jut in my sleep where I would wake up with my lower jaw close to an edge to edge bite position (I assume this was because I slept with my head tucked down into my chest, causing my lower jaw to slide out slightly when relaxed/sleeping) this continued on for about 3 weeks. and for another 2-3 weeks (early dec to late dec) I didn't have such a great tongue posture because I worried too much and played around with it too much, my tongue was curling up on my palate and caused the underside of it to push against my lower teeth (If you move your tongue tip too far back it will curl and collapse on itself bringing the underside forward, mine isn't as extreme as I just described, but still) . EDIT: Also, if it means anything, in early dec and late dec for some reason my jaw felt like it ached as if it wanted to move forward and I could feel my lower teeth on my upper teeth, thankfully this only lasted a short time and went away, I assume this was from the underside of my tongue pushing forward on the lower teeth.

So basically 1.5-2 months of a weak tongue posture.
 
I know it probably sounds silly, in fact typing it out here made me realize that it's probably not as bad as i'm playing it out in my mind. But intuitively, do you feel this is something to worry about? I feel like I'm alot uglier now, but maybe I'm just being delusional and overly worry prone because the people I've asked said they haven't noticed any change in my face in terms of bone prominence or shape.

This clears up everything! Thanks! Stupidly, I was going strong with the oral posture until late October I worried too much about the tongue being far back and ended up with a tongue thrust in the last 3 weeks. I'm still 17 so I really, really, really hope there's enough time to fix the mild backwards progress I've made in the last month or so.

Thanks for the information, I was worrying about this for a month, constantly fiddling around with my tongue trying to find the right position, but hearing this from you makes me less anxious.
A user on the site Lookism by the name of Donsjohns stated that the further back the pressure is applied on the hard palate, the more influence it will have higher up on the face (Posterior part of palate influences the middle third, while the more the pressure is located towards the anterior part of the palate, the more the lower third of the face will be influenced)

Cranial Restructuring / Tongue too far back?
« on: November 27, 2017, 07:14:23 pm »
When mewing, how forward should the tongue be placed on the palate? Mine is where I don't feel any front teeth when I mew, my tongue is about half of an inch behind the upper teeth, a bit less actually I think. I can provide pics if needed

Do you have side profile shots of the before and after? Preferably once with the same lighting, head tilt and eye tilt between the before and after.
