Why Proper Jaw Development in Kids Matters for Lifelong Health

Healthy jaw growth plays a crucial role in a child’s overall development, affecting teeth, breathing, and facial structure. Proper jaw development in children shapes more than just a smile. When the jaws expand naturally, there is enough space for adult teeth, reducing crowding, the need for extractions, and complex orthodontic treatment later in life. A well-developed jaw also supports a clearer airway, helping children breathe better, sleep more soundly, and stay focused during the day. In addition, proper jaw alignment improves chewing, speech, and tongue posture while contributing to balanced facial appearance and confidence. Early guidance can help prevent future issues such as TMJ pain, bite problems, and airway-related concerns, setting the foundation for long-term oral and physical well-being.

Researchers who Unravel the Mystery of Facial Development

A listing of the researchers who have a piece of the puzzle to unravel the mystery of abnormal facial development, a.k.a. why you have crooked teeth or an abnormal occlusion.

Brian Palmer, DDS: Explains how abnormal sucking in infancy deforms the palette and upper jaw, resulting in the narrowed palette associated with modern man. Highlights the importance of breastfeeding, avoiding bottles and pacifiers.

John Mew, DDS: Explains the structural relationships that drive facial growth. Elucidating how mouth-breathing, an abnormal swallowing pattern or an enlarged tongue interfere with normal facial growth. Highlights that facial development is compounding and cumulative and is driven by the functional structural relationship between the tongue, the teeth and the surrounding soft tissue.

Mark Starr: Explains the multiple ways that decreased thyroid activity result in health problems. Read his work with an eye towards the effects of the skeletal-muscular disturbance and systemic inflammation for how this can interfere with facial development.

Broda Barnes: Documents the relationship between thyroid activity, body temperature and overall health.

Matt Stone: Explains how stress, lack of sleep, decreased caloric intake, and other factors cause hypothyroidism.

Weston A. Price, DDS: Documents the degradation of the human face after the introduction of modern foods. Attributes this to low nutritional density, a close reading however implicates hypothyroidism.

Orthotropics - Dr. John Mew Twin Study Comparison of Techniques

Video highlights that orthodontists judge people with orthodontic treatment as better looking, whereas lay people consistently say that the face is less attractive after orthodontic treatment.

Presentation by John Mew investigating the cause of dysfunction.  His list of causes includes:

Muscle usage: Facial Muscle Tone, Tongue Posture, Tongue Function (mandibulo-lingual posture), swallowing pattern, breathing pattern and mouth position

WAP: Lack of Fat soluble vitamins, PN injury

Environment: (whole face problem with vertical environment)

Genetics: (multi-factorial, missed vertical issue)

Orthodontics

Here is what I will add to his list: diets low in saturated fat, posture which changes tongue thrust, low metabolic rate, and overall malnutrition. I would also add that genetics is an over-utilized term in the medical community. Heredity (such as malnutrition in womb and a processed diet after birth) is far more important in most cases.

Orthotropics advertisement, which lacks critical analysis. Nevertheless, the treatment proposed through orthotropics is far superior to orthodontics in the aesthetic result, the appearance during treatment, and the final result. Orthotropics is great for treating poor dental and facial development, but the people in the field have not sufficiently studied the cause of dysfunction and as a result weaken their argument by dabbling in areas they do not understand.
