Dr. Mike Mew has officially announced The Great Mewing Event, set to take place on __6th September at Logan Hall, University College London—a large, 900-seat auditorium in the heart of the city. Tickets are priced at £30 to attend the event in London and meet us all, but just £10 to join us online from anywhere (register here). This event coincides poignantly with what would have been his late father, Dr. John Mew’s, 97th birthday. The event not only aims to expand awareness around ‘Mewing’ and facial posture, but also serves as a tribute to Dr. John Mew’s pioneering work in orthotropics.
A High-Profile Speaker Line-Up
Dr. Mike Mew has assembled an impressive roster of speakers—experts, practitioners, and patients—who will explore different facets of oral posture, airway health, and craniofacial development.
Dr. Bill Hang, a veteran orthodontist known for drawing global attention to airway issues in orthodontics, will speak about his experience reversing extractions and guiding patients through complex surgical corrections. His insights are particularly relevant to those struggling with breathing or who feel stuck in their mewing journey.
Patrick McKeown, a world-renowned breathing coach and final Western student of the legendary Konstantin Buteyko, will focus on breathing dysfunction and its impact on posture. His session aims to help attendees break the “vicious cycle” of poor breathing that impairs their ability to maintain proper oral posture.
Ron Ead, a patient turned educator, will share his personal transformation and lessons learned. Known for his popular YouTube channel Jaw Hacks, Ron offers practical insights drawn from his own mewing experience, providing guidance to those just starting or struggling to see results.
John Flutter, from the Myofunctional Research Company, brings decades of expertise on malocclusion. A long-time friend of Dr. Mew, he will help tie together complex concepts in orthodontics and posture, translating them into practical advice for attendees.
Dr. David McIntosh, an ENT surgeon, will explore lesser-known conditions linked to airway and craniofacial structure. His talk promises to introduce new perspectives on how seemingly unrelated symptoms may, in fact, be tied to core issues addressed by mewing.
Dr. Mew himself will give a presentation on the latest developments in mewing, including new research directions and how to overcome common obstacles in practice. He plans to highlight how the mewing community can become more scientific, organized, and cooperative moving forward.
Scientific Collaboration and Community Building
A major theme of the event is scientific validation. Dr. Mew emphasizes the need for consistent data collection among practitioners and individuals, so effective techniques can be identified and analyzed. By helping the community establish reproducible records, he hopes to encourage research-backed progress and better outcomes.
Dr. Mew also stresses the importance of constructive engagement with the broader medical and orthodontic community. He acknowledges that while some methods may have led to disappointing or harmful results, the path forward must be collaborative rather than adversarial. Alienating professionals through accusations and infighting, he warns, will only hinder efforts to bring modern medical attention to these pressing issues.
Honouring Dr. John Mew
The latter part of the day will be a dedication to the memory of Dr. John Mew, whose controversial but influential theories laid the groundwork for the mewing movement. A number of global experts will be present to honour his legacy, adding further depth and prestige to the event. Dr. Mike Mew expects this to lead to a surge in high-calibre speakers and attendees, making the event both scientifically valuable and emotionally significant.
Final Thoughts
The event is open to you all - anyone with an interest in facial development, breathing health, and posture – for patients, advocates and any other members of the public – all are welcome to this one-of-a-kind event. With a unique combination of expert insights, personal stories, scientific exploration, and tribute, The Great Mewing Event promises to be a pivotal gathering for anyone involved in or curious about the mewing movement. Dr. Mew and all speakers will be available to take questions, making this not just a lecture—but a shared experience of learning and growth.
