Why Our Faces Are Shrinking-And What It Means for Our Health
What if the way your child rests their mouth right now is quietly reshaping their face? Across the industrialized world, jaws are getting smaller, teeth more crowded, and sleep more disrupted. This isn't about genetics gone wrong-it's about a collision between Stone Age bodies and modern lifestyles. Archaeological skulls reveal that our ancestors had wide jaws and perfectly straight teeth, including wisdom teeth that fit comfortably. Today, nearly every family knows the ritual of braces, extractions, and retainers. But this isn't just cosmetic. Smaller jaws mean restricted airways, which leads to mouth breathing, sleep apnea, and a cascade of health problems affecting everything from brain development to heart disease. The real shock? This transformation happened in just a few generations, driven not by evolution but by how we eat, breathe, and live indoors.
