If your tongue sits low in your mouth, it changes the way your face develops and how your body holds itself.
A low tongue posture leads to a narrower palate, a weaker jawline, and a forward head position. This doesn’t just affect facial structure—it alters breathing, muscle tension, and even spinal alignment.
Your tongue is meant to rest against the roof of your mouth, applying gentle pressure to keep your palate wide and your airway open.
When this doesn’t happen, your body compensates.
Your head shifts forward, your muscles work harder to keep you upright, and your posture suffers over time.
Mewing alone for a few minutes a day isn’t enough to correct years of improper tongue posture.
Real change comes from retraining your tongue’s resting position and swallowing mechanics.
The way your tongue interacts with your palate influences everything from jaw development to how your body moves and stabilizes itself.
By addressing tongue posture properly, you’re not just improving aesthetics, you’re optimizing your breathing, reducing tension, and supporting better posture from the inside out.
