Forward facial growth is any technique or exercise that moves the maxilla up, so your jawline is aligned perfectly, and your face appears more lifted.
There are 22 bones in our faces in total, and those bones are divided into two zones.
While one zone is responsible for forming your face, the other zone protects your skull. One of the key players of the bone structure of the face is called the maxilla.

The maxilla is the bones that form not only your upper jaw, but your cheekbones, and lower eye socket. Genetics or a facial injury can hinder the maxilla from developing properly resulting in:
In children, an undeveloped jaw can be caused by prolonged sucking of the thumb or the use of a sippy cup. Regardless of the cause of an undeveloped maxilla, forward facial growth techniques can help to stimulate the maxilla and guide it into its proper position.
This can restore facial symmetry, improve your bite, and bring out the best in your jawline.
Forward facial growth and a recessed jawline are DIFFERENT even though they appear similar. Forward facial growth raises your maxilla and improves your jawline.

In a recessed jawline, your jaw slopes back towards your neck instead of projecting or lying flat. This occurs because your upper jaw and lower jaw do not align.
You might be able to tell the difference between both from some facial appearances.

When the maxilla is underdeveloped, it can block the nasal cavity, and obstruct a person’s breathing. This can lead to breathing with the mouth which causes problems such as:
Forward facial growth can eliminate this problem by creating more room for air to travel through the nasal cavity.
This can prevent mouth breathing, and help with sleep-related problems.
A proper lip seal is the correct position of your lips when you’re not chewing or talking. Your lips should be closed properly, not misaligned, or hanging open. When the maxilla is underdeveloped, it can lead to crooked teeth and thin upper lips.
This can make it challenging to achieve a proper lip seal.
Forward facial growth helps to create more room for the teeth and tongue, making it possible to achieve a correct lip seal.
Forward facial growth helps to promote the ideal rest posture for the tongue — at the roof of the mouth. An underdeveloped jaw resulting in misaligned teeth, or improper breathing causes the tongue to rest at the bottom of the mouth.
Forward facial growth can also help to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of a recessed maxilla including:
Traditionally, it was believed that after reaching a certain age, the bones in our faces became fixed and unresponsive to growth-promoting techniques. But it has been found that even in adulthood, our facial structures possess the potential for growth and changes.
Various facial growth techniques including surgical and non-surgical methods can help to modify the bone structure of the maxilla and support forward facial growth. So if you’re an adult looking to improve your jawline, and achieve a better facial appearance, forward facial growth can work.
There are numerous techniques to achieve forward facial growth. We explain them in detail below.
Mewing is a technique that helps to promote the proper resting position of the tongue. When the mouth is closed, and at rest, the tongue should rest at the roof of the mouth behind the front teeth.
Mewing can correct jawline issues including an underdeveloped maxilla. This can in turn eliminate bite problems, and prevent TMJ disorder. However, to get the best out of mewing, you must mew properly (learn how to mew properly) and consistently. This is where our Mewing App comes in.
With step-by-step guides and reminders, you can train your tongue to rest properly, improve your jawline, and achieve forward facial growth.
