Mouthbreathing-genes

[Gengar]

So basic question. Do genes make the maxilla recessed, forcing you to mouthbreath and therefore get an even worse looking face OR does mouthbreathing cause it? Cause that would probably have an Impact on my decision. You know, I want to FIX my jaw not CHANGE it. To me that statement makes sense, I'll elaborate. I don't want to change what's been coded in my genes for me to be. But If I was not meant to have such recessed jaws then I'd consult a surgeron in a second. So what's the matter? Is everyone genetically supposed to have normal jaws or is he not?

Can be either genetic/environment or a combination of both. If a young child has some kind of problem with nasal breathing and swithes to mouth breathing and it becomes habitual then the structure doesnt develop as it should have.

My Jaws were pretty foward until I got obese at like age 8 and then they slowly receeded. I've heard obesity leads to mouthbreathing often?

There is no consensus answer to your question and the truth probably lies somewhere in between, i.e. a mix of nature and nurture affect jaw misdevelopment with varying degrees of each at the individual level but probably a trend whatever the case may be.

In terms of long-term general population, I think working toward a clearer picture is important so we as people can move toward prevention of jaw issues if/when applicable.

At the individual level or for you, I think the answer shouldn't affect your decision in any way.  If you can benefit from jaw surgery, you can benefit from jaw surgery.

Yea I probably can, I am just afrad of it tbh. How does it feel like waking up with your jaws wired and s**t? Is the sleeping better? Is the lifequality better apart from looks?
