Mewing (orthotropics) →
Mewing (orthodontics) – Judging by our redirect from
orthotropics, it seems that the current qualifier is a sub-class of
orthodontics associated with (and potentially coined/created by)
John Mew. I'm therefore proposing to change the parenthetical disambiguation from orthotropics
to orthodontics
so as to use a more generic class of disambiguator (per point 3 under
WP:NCDAB), a likely more commonly known term, and a potentially more neutral qualifier than one strongly associated with one of this technique's creators. All the best, —

orthotropicsdisambiguator is a bit problematic WP:RECOGNIZABILITY-wise (which was one of my reasons for originally proposing this move), as noted by Colin M. I'm finding myself wondering if there's an alternative parenthetical qualifier that can be used which is more recognizable, but doesn't have issues around potential implications of legitimacy.

"In 2018, after years in obscurity, orthotropics (rebranded by incels as “mewing”) leapt into the mainstream, the subject of discussion on alternative-health forums and beauty". I'd support leaving it as is, or redirecting to 'Mewing' on its own. Zenomonoz ( talk) 23:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
@ Classicwiki can you explain why you reverted my edit? It seems like this article is in need of a photograph. Thank you. -1ctinus📝 🗨 02:54, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
