‘There’s no excuse for ugly people’: controversial dentist Mike Mew on how ‘mewing’ can make you more attractive

The orthodontist’s strange mouth exercises are beloved by incels seeking a manlier shape – and a fast-growing TikTok trend in classrooms around the world. So why has he been struck off the dentists’ register?

www.theguardian.com

At one point, he tells me, he had a consultation with a woman and her three children who were prepared to fly over from their home in Houston, Texas, for regular treatment with Mew. “I just refused her. I said, ‘It’s not going to work. If I was treating you, with your motivation, that would be great. But you’ve got three little shits here. I can just see from the way they’re standing there, they ain’t going to do anything I ask.’”

An orthotropic approach requires serious commitment. “Unless you, as an individual, put the effort into change, you won’t get a result,” Mew continues. “I’ve had one or two cases that didn’t go well, and the parents literally said to me, ‘Mike, you tried your best. I know the little shit here never did what you wanted.’”

This is perhaps the biggest problem with orthotropics, in empirical, scientific terms: the theory that, with enough dedication, people can direct the growth of their faces is impossible to disprove. If a child with a biobloc doesn’t see results, Mew can point to the child’s lack of commitment. If someone who mews doesn’t achieve “correct facial form”, he can simply claim that the mewer hasn’t been mewing correctly, or for long enough.

"If you don't see any results, you just didn't try hard enough or did it wrong, everyone who tries hard enough in a correct way always sees good results."

Mew’s keenest disciples have documented their success. Some, such as AstroSky (with 57,000 YouTube subscribers), have become looksmaxxing influencers themselves. And many of the before-and-after mewing pictures on TikTok and Reddit appear to show visible changes over several years in the lives of young people. But couldn’t those same people just be going through puberty and emerging with a more defined face?

“I’m sure there’s an element of truth there,” Mew concedes. “However, I’ve seen enough major changes from mewing that are not questionable. The change is so extreme – their friends are talking about it, the family’s talking about it – but it’s not always obvious in photographs.” Like much of what Mew argues, it’s supposed to be obvious to everyone, even if it can’t yet be scientifically proved.

I love this exchange. Here he is, Mr. Mew himself, freely admiting that, yes, puberty probably plays a part here, but it's totally just a minor part, and he's totally seen a lot of major changes that just can't be explained by puberty alone.

That's literally the most basic "Yeah, you're right, but I still need to sell you my grift," response imaginable.

An alarm goes off on Mew’s phone, reminding him that he has to pick up his daughters from primary school. He invites me to join him on the school run. “Bad,” he mutters as we approach the school. “Bad. One in two so far. It’s not going well.” And then I realise – he is assessing the faces of the children as they come out of the gates towards us. “It’s going to ruin their lives.” His teeth are clenched. “This is a lovely school, it really is. Really helpful teachers. If only I could get them to get the kids to keep their mouths fucking closed.” A woman – perhaps a teacher – waves at Mew as we walk past and he waves back, warmly. Then he turns to me, horrified. “You see that gummy smile?”

An extremely normal thing for an adult man to do.

“All those kids.” He takes a deep breath. “We have a national health system. Isn’t it in our interests to help them grow up? The newspapers are contacting me, and I’m going, ‘There’s a fucking scandal going on here. There should be no excuse for ugly people. Twenty per cent of people are going to die a decade early because of sleep apnoea.’ And everyone’s going, ‘Oh, well. Tell me a bit more about mewing.’” He sighs in frustration.

He's sad that you're ugly:

Mew now depends on his mewing content to make a living. But it’s a tricky business model: the beauty of mewing was the promise that people could achieve good looks for free if they worked hard enough. Mewers can mew without Mew.

In his Ultimate Guide to Mewing – over images of smashed clocks, endless calendars and stacks of $100 bills – he says attempting to do so could be a big mistake, warning of “lost time spanning months or even years as you wade through the complexity of mewing without guidance. In the long run, this could prove costlier.” He points viewers towards his new paid-for app. Prices start at £25.

"For just a tiny, humble percentage of your income, I'll tell you all the secrets that the Big Dental doesn't want you to know, how to extend your lifespan and attract models. You need to do this the right way, because as I've said, you won't see the results otherwise, and only I know the right way."

Basically, putting this together with what he said before, he does admit that simple puberty and facial development plays a role, but swears that mewing also has a major impact. However, only if you do it correctly and try hard, which you will know because that's how you'll see results, because if you don't see results, that means you are doing it wrong or aren't trying hard enough, and the best way to do it correctly is to buy his courses, because of course he knows the only correct way to do is, it's named after his family after all. He also needs as many people paying attention to him and buying his courses (which btw are currently his only source of income) as possible, because if people don't do so, tens, if not hundreds of millions of people are going to die preventable deaths in their sleep.

Sure, doesn't seem like a grift at all.

Once he feels mentally strong enough, he tells me, he will “go hard for the truth” on his YouTube channel, from which he still earns revenue. “I think that we’re probably going to have to push on the sensationalism a little bit, because I need to gain traction. I genuinely want the best for the population, so I’m willing to bend the rules.”

"I'm saving the world out of the goodness of my heart."

His big mission is to get everyone to start documenting their faces on their phones and send the images to him, along with details of their lifestyle, so he can collect data. “I want research by the people, for the people,” he says. Parents should be uploading images of their kids’ faces, too. “They need to. If you have a child that’s growing, it is your responsibility that that child grows well.”

"Send me photos of your kids right now!"

Mewing ain’t shit, it’s about the food. Our mothers ate slop while pregnant with us which stunted our development. What we ate as babies also plays a role. A natural diet of meat (including organ meats), raw milk, and no grain sludge we call bread and pasta would’ve benefited us greatly. Even if we started eating that way now it would simply improve our health but not change the way we look, what’s done is done. Anything in our control to change is long gone since when we were kids we knew nothing about this shit nor did we care or have the power to do something about it

I never did mewing on my puberty, my tongue barely on top of my tongue, and my teeth are among worst on here. Yet I'm a Minecraft block and my face is very wide, has protruding cheekbones.

It's not good looking or something, because its overdone. Mine is like 90deg.

“Why didn’t you become Chad? Oh you just didn’t clench your jaw at a 37° angle while doing nasal breathing and balancing your tongue like a Tibetan monk.” Bro is monetizing desperation. Respect the hustle, I guess.

Trying this. If that won't help, painful surgeries are my last resort.

True. My parents ate quite starchy food. Still way more of that natural stuff though.

Why does every grifter swear obsessively? That's like the easiest way to spot one. They always try to put on this tough-guy act.

Mewing exercises are too hard. I just chew gum instead.

Except our mothers gave us all the organic stuff while Chad ate slop and turned out to be Chad.
