解答
意味：阿南歯科のウエブサイトによると、
ミューイング（Mewing）とは、矯正歯科医のマイク・ミューと大学教授のジョン・ミューが考案した口腔姿勢のメソッドです。顎と顔面の正常な発達を促進するトレーニング法で、舌の位置と姿勢を正すことで、本来のポテンシャルを最大限引き出せるようになると言われています。なお、mewingはアメリカの若者の間で流行っていますが、効果があるかどうかはまだ確認されているわけではありません。実のところ、イギリスのGeneral Dental Councilは、考案者のJohn Mewの歯科矯正医の資格を剥奪しています。
Answer
According to WebMD:The basic idea behind mewing is that you can change the shape of your jawline if you think about the placement of your tongue in your mouth. People also claim it can help with sleep apnea, sinusitis, and other conditions.Note: If you are interested in trying mewing, please be sure to read the entire WebMD article because the method has not been proven to work.
The ideas behind mewing come from the work of British orthodontist John Mew, who continued to promote the practice well into his 90s. He and his son, fellow orthodontist Michael Mew, promote a form of orthodontics they call “orthotropics” that focuses on “jaw posture” including retraining the position of the tongue. Britain’s General Dental Council recently stripped the elder Mew of his dental license.
Examples
- John and Michael Mew did not coin the term “mewing.”
- There is no serious research that suggests mewing can change the shape of your jawline or help with other issues.
- The main purported benefit of mewing is the enhancement of facial appearance.
- Mewing is thought to expand the jawline, providing the teeth with more space to align naturally.
