(I largely agree with what you've said on this blog)
Your take is interesting, but it doesn't seem like those 4 principles are really useless. From what I've learned, proper posture(including oral posture) is what prevents craniofacial dystrophy. In nature(like without a mouthguard), the only reason people wouldn't have elongated faces and recessed maxillas&mandibles is because of the pressure that their tongues provide that counteract the force of gravity on the maxilla. I've also learned that chewing hard food promotes CCW(counter-clockwise) rotation. I am not claiming that these will work at any age or that they will reverse craniofacial dystrophy, but wouldn't those principles work for these situations:
1. From like age 2(taught by parents) to promote proper craniofacial development
2. At any age for making the, for example, sphenoid bone symmetrical
EDIT:
3. At any age to prevent any further cranial collapse
?

yeah there is no such as needing some type of special 'teeth contact'
fact of the matter is i'm improving fast the past 4 years and nearing hte end with only contact being on my front teeth and having an open posterior bite.
But i know what to do and i support it at night with a myobrace.
My kid has only contact on back teeth with flat composite for 3+ yrs. And is doing awesome.
The most important thing is understanding how to stretch the soft tissue.
And the Mews dont 'get it'
Which is why i think all of their social media stuff is gonna backfire on them within the coming 10 yrs... i plan on helping get that snowball going.. and its gonna take out hte Mews, Bryan Johnson, Peter Attia, Huberman, and all these cats.

yes perhaps i was being aggressive if i said they are useless
I just think things like oral posture are a function fo these biomechanics and a very poor lever to make change.
I did the Mewing and other tongue exercise stuff years back... what i do now is like more than 100x faster. Its not even close.
Because there is a connection between the jaw and the rest of the body that is key to doing things fast.
Furthermore in his video on TMD Mike Mew recommends the teeth touching together in a butterfly contact all the time. Which imo is not good.
Also the thing I noticed about him is that in his recent videos he seems to be very anxious, swaying all the time, there’s something wrong about him…

May I ask, so you did nothing to your molars since the time the dentist in Vietnam drilled them down?
