the $100 Million dollar question is, is it really possible to get the maxilla to swing up and forwards in the face without surgery?

When you take a look at the maxilla, it pretty much makes up your entire face.

It goes right up to the eye sockets and it even extends pretty deep into the face as well.

You can see that the size, shape & position of maxilla will touch everything from the nose, eyes, teeth alignment / palate, zygomatic / side cheekbones, and even the position of the lower jaw.

When you look at the significance of this 1 bone in its entirety, it begins to seem silly that people are only concerned with the teeth when things get crowded.

We can see with ample evidence that the maxilla has profound impact on appearance of eyes & nose

If we had severe malocclusion, chances are one faces insecurities about eyes & nose because these are all at the effect of the maxilla shape & position.

& how the maxilla developed was at the effect of the tongue and jaw muscles. (maxilla bone needs 3mg to start changing. tongue has 500mg of force)

and when you study where the tongue should rest in its ideal position, you begin to see that its the tongue that causes someone to be extremely attractive.

But the problem I see for those of us that had significant cranial dystrophy, the jaw is too far back for the back of the tongue to properly rise up. When the tip of the tongue goes on the incisive papilla, because the jaw is too far back, it leaves the back of the tongue without any space to go up.

So what are our options if it is near impossible to assume posterior tongue posture?

Proper Tongue Posture (guide)

I preach about tongue on the roof posture but are you doing it correctly? “tongue on the roof” but there’s more to it, for great facial change results.

Incorrect tongue to roof posture

This is the posture I was taught by a oral myologist and I’ve been practicing for months. They teach you to take the tip of the tongue and place it behind the front two teeth at the “spot”. But its not entirely correct. See how the back of the tongue is still low in the mouth?

correct tongue posture

Here is the correct way, see how that back of the tongue is plastered on the back roof of the mouth? see how that provides additional upward force? By bringing the very back portion of the tongue up there, notice how the whole tongue now goes on the roof of the mouth.

Subconscious Connection of Your Tongue

the back of the tongue is controlled by your subconscious and thus connected to your body’s postural system. Meaning it is auto-pilot system, once you train the back of the tongue it knows or remembers where to stay. This gives us the long term forces we are looking for to change bone.

the front of the tongue represents our conscious mind aspect and therefore we can control it easily but with conscious effort, so when we become unconscious, ie sleep, the front of the tongue doesn’t really know where it’s suppose to stay. It’s all over the place.

Conclusion</1>

Get the back of your tongue involved, it is the real driving force of the mid-face, as it can remember where you place it most consistently. we are after that low, long term forces to remodel the bones.

Researchers has seen that the tongue is a muscular organ & therefore it can change shape and size depending on use. It’s likely that more we practice our tongue to be plastered on the upper palate the wider it becomes, expanding the palate further in the process.

oh and the phrase of the day is “practice makes perfect”
