    According to a book I read (Breath by James Nestor) you can shape this part of your body your entire life. There are devices that will widen your jaw to help you breathe. Mewing also relies on your body’s ability to reshape itself. I would very strongly not recommend to suck on your thumb as an adult!

      Huh, good to know. I wasn’t planning on sucking my thumb, but there are probably other things to avoid with that in mind. I’ll look into that book.
