I've discovered it, the secret to FACE is swallowing correctly (article)

Proper Swallowing = Hollow Cheekbones
If you try to swallow food with teeth together and it feels uncomfortable for you, then you most likely have some form of incorrect swallow.

It is estimated close to 90% of population have some form of incorrect swallow.

The fact: When you observe good looking people swallow they keep their lips, cheeks, & chin completely still. And only the throat moves.

The stereotypical image is the petite, upper class lady with attractive face & fancy dress swallowing as if they didn’t swallow at all, very passively and politely.

Now the opposite image is someone that swallows with all kinds of movement seen in the face, & possibly even head jerking, seeming animalistic. The image would be of less attractive people.

Unbalanced muscular patterns leads to unbalanced facial form.



Practice:
with teeth together, lips sealed and face completely passive, you raise the tongue to the roof with the tip on the incisive papilla (bump right behind the 2 upper front teeth) and you swallow your saliva.

While keeping the tongue on the roof, suck up rest of the moisture from your mouth and bring it to the roof of the mouth, this should happen pretty naturally when you simply intend for it. The tip should still remain on the incisive papilla, or partially. But you should feel your tongue roll around and make some strange movements as you suck up.

Swallow again.

Your mouth will be getting dryer and you will feel a vacuum effect taking place inside.

The lips will feel more sealed and feel sucked in.

And with this vacuum you’re to notice that the back of the tongue is raising and now ramming up on the upper palate, the feeling you noticed from cheesy smile should be intensified.

Now try to hold this position, with the vacuum you should begin to feel more of your tongue on the palate and be able to exert more force on the soft palate.

This is the one exercise I repeat most often. It began to correct my swallowing pattern and greatly improve my tongue posture and lip seal.

The more you do, more often the tongue is up there. The goal is constantly leave little bit of upwards force.

i read somewhere that your jaw has to do with the way you breathe. mouth breathers have round jaws. something to that extent at least.

this could in fact be true too, but who knows?
