This is called, "looksmaxxing," it's something the incel community picked up from a discredited orthodontist. The guys on the QAA podcast covered it on one of their premium episodes.

It's this trend from a rogue orthodontists about tongue position and pressure on the teeth that is supposed to chisel the jawline and is complete bonkers. But has sprout a cult following of kids mewing, specially with the incel.

Yes, I think this is a sub-category of looksmaxxing.
