What's wrong with my face?
« on: January 10, 2017, 09:40:01 pm »
I'd love to know how you all see, and what I should try. Health issues and a need for better facial balance is why I'm so curious. And you are all really wise about facial growth and changes - why not document and see what happens! I've been mewing for 11 days... and chewing on left side to try and help my crooked jaw?

I'm needing to DIY also.

Thanks!

Seems like a classic case of low set & recessed maxilla and inadequate forward growth. Is your smile narrow? Do your gums show a lot when you smile?

Mewing and a healthy diet will almost definitely improve your face over time. Self performed NCR and facepulling may fasten progress. PM me with your email if you need instructions for NCR.

One is with my chin tucked and trying to do the Mackenzie "tuck" and the other is how I normally just hold my head without the ruck - sorry should have clarified!

To me you look normal. Nothing really throws off your facial balance too badly. Of course you would look better if your maxilla / cheekbones were more forward, but so would most people.

I guess that's my goal - getting the maxilla forward and cheekbones higher...

No offense to OP, but if this is how normal looks to you, you live in a depressing world. Cranofacial dystrophy is of course common, but common =/= normal.

OP has clearly potential for improvement... it would be absurd to throw that potential away just because other people look shitty too.

I didn't mean normal as in without flaws, I meant as in the average modern face. I wasn't trying to say there was no room for improvement. There is a sunken in appearance under her eyes that requires more support from her maxilla / zygomatic arches.

MeltedFace, you can see from the side profile, your jaw is at an aprox 45 degree angle dwn as opposed to forwards, and your maxilla doesnt support your eyes evidenced by the rings under your eyes etc, the very fact your on here is positive thou as your lookin for advice and this can be fixed, proper tongue on top of palette posture but understand it takes couple of years and shud be first and foremost and if u can afford try look up ALF Appliance, learn to self NCR by geting hold of BStratts instructions pdf whichll speed up the mewing greatly, positive results could prob be achieved in as little as 2 years providing the mewing is done correctly and also do look up ALF Appliance.

You guys are giving great tips so far, I'm not at all bothered by the critiques - I think it's helpful for people to post pics if they can, and we can see changes as they happen... there aren't a lot of them online for adults!
