For those struggling with a recessed maxilla, facial asymmetry, or want improved Mewing results:
There's one thing that I guarantee will help you achieve 3-D facial growth:
It's your tongue.
Your tongue is your natural palatal expander (and retainer).
It was given to you at birth - completely for free.
And it can create facial growth -100% naturally.
But just because you have this expander, doesn't mean you're using it properly.
"But Ryan, I do Mewing... Isn't that enough?"
Running Best Face Forward for the past 5 years, I've had people come to me with the same Mewing problems over and over again:
Things such as:
Mewing can be quite stressful for most people.
For most of us it's just not realistic to think about our tongue all the time.
Not only that - but many people have incorrect tongue posture when they're Mewing, and don't even know it.
In some cases, Mewing even makes things worse (think TMJ, facial asymmetry, tension and anxiety).
The truth is, there is a much easier, AND more effective way to go about this.
And that is:
Focus on resting tongue position.
Resting tongue position, is where your tongue goes when you're not thinking about it.
In other words, when you're not Mewing.
For example:
When you're sleeping...
When you're at the gym...
When you're working, or studying
When you're just relaxing. Where does your tongue go?
This is your resting tongue position.
It may be up on your palate. It may be low, not on your palate. Maybe only part of it is up.
Believe it or not - that poisition is affecting your facial growth moment to moment.
In fact, these forces are what has influenced your facial growth up until this point in your life.
This position of your tongue (and it's swallowing pattern) affect your facial growth
If you can improve this resting tongue position, so that it is exerting more correct, and gentle force on your palate, this is how you create natural 3-d facial growth.
The question is: how do we improve resting tongue position?
Instead of forcing, and trying hard, you actually do the exact opposite.
You relax, and actually improve your bodies underlying structure.
Wait, really Ryan? You're telling me I don't need to try and put my tongue up at all?
That's right.
We've evolved as over millions of years with our tongues on our palates.
So, this is not something you need to "do", it is something you need to UNDO.
And the best way I've found to do this, is through exercises.
I've worked with Myofunctional therapists, dentists, and experimented on my own and with focus groups for 10+ years.
I've seen time and time again how these exercises can create amazing and natural changes to your facial growth, tongue position, and overall health.
But your probably wondering, what are these magic exercises anyway?
Well, they're not magic.
And soon, you'll probably agree with me when I say they are common sense. Nothing mystical going on here.
They are basic, fundamental exercises, that if done consistently, create day by day upgrades to your resting tongue posture, and facial growth.
1. Postural alignment routines:
First, we do daily postural routines "opening" routines. Simple stretches that not only feel amazing - but will "undo" years of chronic poor posture.
As you do these, you'll feel amazing as you release tension long held in the body You'll also notice immediate improvements in forward head posture.
2. Myofunctional Training:
Next, we do a few simple tongue strengthening and stretching exercises. These help your tongue "relearn" the correct position, and fit into your upper palate.
3. Full body alignment.
Forward head posture is not limited to the neckup.
As a matter of fact, if you don't fix alignment issues in the lower body, hips, ankles, you will never achieve a full result.
These exercise routines improve alignment and symmetry from ankles, to hips, to shoulders.
4.You gently expand your palate
Finally - for those ready for it, we have osteopathic release techniques (sometimes called face pulling - but as I'll show you, not the same for everyone, that you can do for a few minutes a day.
From these 4 exercise groups you will have a daily 15 minute routine.
Over the past 10 years, I've helped myself and thousands of others through exercise programs specifically focused on resting tongue posture.
And I've Been Helping People do this with Three Simple Steps
If you follow them, you'll be on your way to amazing facial changes:
1. Commit to ONE
Exercises Session per day
It should come as no surprise that you have to commit to this for it to work.
I recommend carving out a time each day you'll do these exercises (I find 15 minutes in the morning works best.
The entire purpose of these routines, is so you feel immediate improvements in your resting tongue position.
This you will feel and experience from Day 1.
2. Notice and Track Your Improvements
We'll help you find your most important exercises.
You'll know what they are because after you do them, you feel big time improvements in resting tongue position.
This ends up creating your 15 minute daily routine for YOUR specific tongue, jaw, and postural alignment.
3. Repeat for 90 Days
After that, you'll continue for 90 days. Each day feeling the improvements to your posture, resting tongue position, and facial growth.
This is not a surface-level change. This is changing the root cause of what created your facial structure.
And no, it won't be overnight. It is a day-by-day process. But it's 100% worth it.
We've had 650+ participants go through our exercise programs over the years. And I've seen time and time again how these exercises work to create improvements.
And now - this fall, we're looking for a group of people to achieve amazing results. All 100% naturally. And show what's really possible with these exercises.

I absolutely love the program! I used to have a big snoring problem and would wake up with my mouth really dry. As I went further into the program I didn't wake up and my tongue was glued to the roof of my mouth. My body and neck posture has also improved a lot. Thank you Ryan and also to Joe and Dr. Estrabillo :)

It's easier to maintain the position of my tongue against my upper palate than it was before. After doing the lip exercises they looked/felt more full. My posture is so much better and even my family has commented how well I've been standing and sitting!
Rachel, Age 20 - USA
"
I've seen improvement in lip seal as well as tongue posture! I can feel my tongue has become really strong and now naturally sits on the top of the palate. I mentioned thart I couldn't breath for 2 mins keeping my mouth closed. Now, I see it has drastically improved!

Improved Tongue Posture Benefits You in Many Ways
Improving your bodies underlying tongue position can produce results beyond just your looks:
First of all: your confidence can go way up. It's exciting to have a system that is getting you daily results. Today, you look and feel better than yesterday. It's an exciting future to live into, knowing your best is still out in front of you.
Secondly: you won't need to rely on any other health professional to "fix you", because you'll have the tools yourself.
Yes, this system requires commitment, and daily 15 minute exercise sessions. And yes, you need to follow our advice and commit to 90 days.
But in the end - you'll have the greatest gift of all - complete independence and freedom. Freedom to get results without needing a professional. OR us.
Our goal is that you won't need Best Face Forward - Or ANY other program, or professional after these 90 days.
And you definitely won't need to pay a dentist $10,000, or a surgeon $20,000. You won't need to go to a chiropractor for the rest of your life, and spends hundreds of dollars per session.
You'll have an precise system, and knowledge of your own body that you can use for the rest of your life.
Thirdly: this is about way more than your looks - it's about your health. I haven't touched on it much on this page, but improving tongue position can improve your general well-being. Things such as:
- Improved nasal breathing leads to relaxation of the body, and less sympathetic tone (fight or flight response)
- Better posture and improved athletic performance, lower chance of injury, and literally standing taller and more confiden
- Improved quality of sleep, which is one of the most important factors for health and longevity.
And the list could go on. The point is, taking control of your body will benefit you in more ways than one.

Frequently asked questions
Online people ask: until what age can you expand your Maxilla bone?
And my answer is very simple:
You always can.
Your bone is constantly changing at any age. And your tongue position/function affects your bone.
Now...There is some truth to the age dilemma.
The younger you are the faster your bone changes. It changes fastest while still growing. Especially before early 20s. Under 18 is changing very rapidly, and children's bone changes the fastest.
The point is you're always changing.
You finish "growing", but you never finish changing. Bone remodelling is a constant process.
How do I know this? Do I have proof? Are there studies?
Well, not exactly. I'm giving you my opinion.
But I have seen clients who well in their 70's feel their bones changing. I've also asked this question to at least a dozen highly qualified dentists/professionals (whos opinions I trust), and the answer is always the same:
Your bone can change at any age. And it does change. Always.
It might take a little longer (depending on your age). But if your Mewing improves, your jaw will also.
That's enough proof for me.
Plus, now at 27 I'm seeing better changes than I ever have. This isn't about age, it's about doing exercises to improve your resting tongue position.
The force of my tongue on my palate is changing.
More on the asymmetrical side. More on the front that requires forward growth.
And just like magic, the maxilla expands in turn.
Anyways, if you think you're too old to change - don't.
Your maxilla can expand at any age. And don't let anybody say otherwise.
You will have access to all program materials, 200+ exercise videos, and community for 15 months.
The exercises take as little as 10 minutes per day. You can do them for longer if you wish, but the combination of posture improvement, tongue training, and osteopathic techniques will take you under 10 minutes to do!
Note: you do not have to do these exercises forever. In myofunctional therapy, people reach what's known as the "habituation phase" after 12-16 weeks. Meaning, your tongue is now "habitually" in the correct positon.
Remember, your tongue is both your natural retainer, and expander. If you change the resting position of your tongue and posture, it will maintain itself over time.
Just like your "retaining" your maxilla in the current imbalanced position, it will also maintain it's balance once corrected.
If you have braces or aligners, your maxilla will not be able to expand any further than the appliances allow them to. The same goes for retainers. With that being said - the program can still provide a lot of benefits. You can still improve your resting tongue position, and posture, as well as the muscles of your face, lips, and cheeks. This improved resting tongue position can be greatly beneficial, and help you to continue to improve after you have your braces removed.
This is a guided-coaching program, so it is NOT just a course. We will be tracking your results, and providing you guidance to ensure you improve.
This program has the most recent and up to date exercises Ryan's learned from working with professionals in his network, clients, and experimenting himself.
Some of the exercises such as the posture improvement routines, will be similar to previous programs. And many exercises, such as the osteopathic techniques, and uni-lateral tongue training, will be new.
If you're a member of a previous program and have any questions - you can message Ryan at ryanblankersbff@gmail.com
You can go at your own pace! Once you join, you'll be added to the online course platform, where you'll access all the videos. You will be part of a community, and have support and coaching from Ryan - but you can go through the program at your own pace.
Our goal is that you see results from the day you start the routines. These results include: improvements in your posture, symmetry, and resting tongue position. This can happen FAST! Generally, people experience benefits within the first week.
In terms of actual change to the bone - it depends on many factors. The younger you are, generally the faster these changes can happen. But they happen at every age. It may take time, but it is my belief (and that of many professionals I've worked with) that the maxilla is constantly changing and remodelling. Just like any bone in the body.
So, if you experience changes in your tongue position at rest - it's only a matter of time before those changes are reflected in your jaw.
There are no discounts available for the program. However, there is a payment plan option which can make it more affordable. If interested, contact: ryanblankersbff@gmail.com
This is not the same as "Mewing". Mewing is about consciously exerting effort to get your tongue up. These are 5 minute exercise routines to improve the natural "resting position" of your tongue, in other words, where it goes when you aren't thinking about it (which is most of the day anyways, nobody can think about their tongue 24-7).
4 Months for the Rest of Your Life
One more question:
How would you feel knowing you're improving each and every day? Waking up with better tongue posture, and having the feeling of excitement that comes with knowing you're improving?
On the flip side, if you don't do this program - you're missing out on an opportunity to start improving your tongue posture now, and more importantly the future benefits that come from it.
If you improve your tongue posture today, you will look better tommorrow. Even more so next month, and even more so next year. The effort you put in by doing this program will follow you through your life.
These are the benefits we're talking about:
Improve your tongue posture every day
Breathe better through your nose, More restful sleep, Feel healthier
Make your lips, cheeks, facial features more attractive
Improve your facial structure over time
Change Your Life with The Best Face Forward Online Program
How was the Program Created?
When I tried these exercises the first time, it was pretty cool.
One day randomly I found them on the internet. From a Youtuber named "Elliot Hulse".
I decided to give them a try. I was doing them in the mirror. I would...
Stretch for a few minutes... Rest and see what I feel.
Stretch for a few minutes... See the difference I feel.
Stretch for a few minutes...
And then...
I looked in the mirror, and I thought... Wow.
Something is different!
I didn't know exactly what it was, but I knew something had changed. My jaw looked "tighter" in a way. More defined. But also - when I looked at my neck and collarbone area, it looked better. That natural "shoulders back" attractive posture.
Over the next 5 years, I went on a journey to find the best natural exercises for facial growth.
I worked with physiotherapy, myofunctional therapy, dentists, and much more.
This program is a culmination of the best exercises I've learned to improve resting tongue position, and achieve 3-D Facial growth over time.
I'm excited to see the results you get out of the program.
