We have been anatomical humans for well over 160,000 years and malocclusion (crooked teeth & jaws) only begun to show up in the masses 200-300 years ago after Industrial Revolution.
We are evolved to live in more natural hunter & gatherer lifestyle not our current modern one. When early European settlers went to various islands, they often commented how physically perfect the indigenous tribes people were.
Because our diet has gotten too soft our skulls are lengthening due to weak jaw muscle and the jaws aren’t developing to its potential due to lack of use.
Zoo animals require tough diet, or their jaws can collapse.
All babies begin with broad short faces with cute little noses. What happens thereafter seems more so a consequence of the individual’s lifestyle not genetics. Remember that early settler commented how physically perfect the indigenous tribes were, in Modern Times we have lost the way to great extent.
Crooked Teeth is merely a symptom of a face that didn’t growing properly. The key factor: Our jaws are not getting a proper work out now with our processed, soft diets.
Individuals with horizontal jaws seem to display higher status, beauty, and confidence. Not to mention, it is also the design that is most healthy and optimal for perfect occlusion.
Along with the fact that muscle thickness is linked to horizontal jaws, there is strong hard evidence that suggest that great jaws are due to great jaw usage. When looking at an adult face, we are possibly looking at the history of their muscle usage and posture.
Eliminate Effortless Calories from Diet: The question is why aren’t we chewing enough anymore. The big reason might be that after Industrial Revolution sugar had massive reduction in price and began entering everything we eat. Sugar is bad for health but it also quickly increases calorie content of food without requiring any chewing. The child can only do so much chewing to satiate their appetite, unless you make them chew gum. So the more effortless calorie you include in diet like sugar, fruit juices, candies, etc its that much less masticatory effort per calorie they perform for the day.
Conclusion
To raise beautiful children with naturally straight teeth, get creative at increasing their masticatory efforts daily & promote good posture.
1. Increase appetite
2. Introduce tougher foods from young
3. Omit effortless calories
4. Promote gum chewing
6. Tell them to stand up tall, sit up straight, keep mouth closed
It is possible but not always easy because there is no getting away from modern culture.
