Dr Michael Mew is responsible for the 'mewing' trend, which involves pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth to change your jawline and face shape.

He has now been barred from the profession after he shared a video on orthotropics on YouTube .

Orthopetrics is a theory which states that misaligned bites and dental problems can be fixed by muscle exercises and physiotherapy.

It was heard the dentist advised young children against braces, instead recommending neck gear and expanders so their teeth could 'align naturally' General Dental Council told a professional conduct panel that his advice caused 'harm' to two young patients.

Panel imposed an immediate suspension order after ruling the dentist is a 'risk to public safety' as he was offering treatments with 'no objective base' All but one of the allegations he faced were found to be proved.

Panel also found proved that the misleading claims he made to the patients' parents were 'inappropriate and inappropriate'.
