Stephan Guyenet had a series of blog posts called "Malocclusion: Disease of Civilization" on dental health. As I remember, as usual, decline in dental health was linked to moving away from traditional diets. The problem with teeth "overcrowding" was linked, basically, to not chewing enough of tough foods. People that ate plenty of tough foods as part of their diets had better developed jaws and space enough for all their teeth.

- amelius 9y agoHow about people who chew on gum all day?
- skummetmaelk 9y agoAs usual, too much of anything is bad for you. Chewing gum all day leads to many other (severe) issues.
- sattoshi 9y agoDon't chew all day = have one set of problems Chew all day = another set of problems We can't win, can we?
- RyanMcGreal 9y agoFor many human movements, the relation between intensity and injury is a u-curve with high risk at extremely low intensity (atrophy) and extremely high intensity (overuse/repetitive strain), and low risk at moderate intensity.

- emmelaich 9y agoIt's not so much the time as the toughness over time. Have a steak or dense bread to exercise your jaws. Or maybe beef jerky?
- EADGBE 9y agoYeah, but you could have great breath.
- Sleeep 9y agoCleaning your tongue is much more effective.
- ForRealsies 9y agoChew sugarless Falim gum, one piece for each side of the jaw daily for aestethic gainz.
