My dentist said that it's because we don't chew much. We just eat a lot of soft stuff which somehow negativity affects teeth such that they don't grow properly.

Could be, there's a similar remedy to wisdom teeth growing sideways. Apparently the body needs some sort of a signal for direction, so if you chew on a stick (e.g. a pencil) for 10-15 minutes each day, they should reallign themselves.

You forgot the /s at the end of “fix your teeth by chewing on a pencil for 15 minutes a day”, right?

Survivorship bias? Bodies that are in the right condition dry out and pull the teeth deeper set into jaw bones as part of decomposition, whereas otherwise the skeleton would not be intact?

Because he died at 21. With perfect teeth.

My teeth emphatically didn't look like that at 21. More like someone used a shotgun to implant them to my mouth. I could be from Britain for all I care.

ironic that that meme is 70s-80s dated. most brits get far better dental care than the average US citizen, where our health insurance stops before it covers our goddamned mouth bones.

Eh, I deal with a few British people on a daily basis. Still relevant.

Edit: typo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Isn't basically everyone getting better than the US? Except having a great military ofc.

Hear me out: inbreeding.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

only one way to find out

[–] [email protected] 92 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I don't think inbreeding is going to solve this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Inbreeding is what caused crooked teeth

joke?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Look at the inbred dogs and cats, not hard to understand
