Why our ancestors had straight teeth without braces
Have you ever wondered why nearly everyone today seems to need braces, while our prehistoric ancestors boasted perfectly straight smiles without ever visiting an orthodontist? In this fascinating exploration of evolutionary biology and modern lifestyle, Popular Science delves into the „mismatch theory.” It turns out that the shift from tough, fibrous diets to soft, processed foods has physically altered the shape of our jaws, leaving them too small to accommodate our teeth. From the role of osteoblasts in jaw development to the impact of the agricultural revolution on our facial structure, we uncover why crooked teeth are a uniquely modern phenomenon—and what science says about the future of our smiles.
