What is the ‘mewing’ trend? Why teachers are hitting back at classroom craze
The “mewing” trend has risen in popularity on social media, but teachers are now being vocal about why they don’t approve of this behaviour.
The method - which is named after Professor John Mew - involves flattening the tongue against the roof of your mouth to purportly lift the jawline and alleviate jaw and mouth muscle pain, according to Heathline. However, the American Association has noted that “changing tongue placement isn’t enough to magically correct misaligned teeth, reshape your jawline, and prevent the need for orthodontic treatment”.
