Can it still change?

Hey

I'm 15 years old and I recently found out what effects moutrabroadreathing has on facial bone development. I have got a smaller jaw and I guess this is what caused it. If I stop this habit now, will my facial bones still develop normally? I really hope it's not too late. :( Maybe you guys have some suggestions what to eat, to support my bone growth?

Thanks for any information.
 
Nope. And I also checked out that thing. It's not that small. I also have some pictures of myself when I was about 4 and I had perfectly normal jaw. So I'm still guessing it's the wrong breathing what triggered it to grow vertically.
 
What does your dentist say? You know the jaw can be repaired and moved forward or backward as needed.

And if mouth breathing caused this, mine would be back up against my jaw! My nose was broken several times as a child (toraboy who clirabed trees and fell out a lot, etc) and I had to wait till I was 15 to have it repaired. I had almost no air passage on one side and they had to drill it out along with repairing the deviated septum. So, no, this isn't the cause. Genetics, whether normal in your family or a mutation, is the most likely cause.
 
that's genetics. And it can be fixed when you are older. My youngest son had a protruding lower jaw. We had it broken and realinged right after he graduated high school. His jaw was wired shut for 6 weeks. He is now grown up and it doesn't affect him at all. The surgeon wouldn't do anything to him until he was 18 because jaws are one of the last things to grow on boys and he didn't want to have to redo the surgery.
 
Yes, there is still time for your jaw to grow. That is one of the last features that grows. You are 15, you still have time...
 
The fact that you have a smaller jaw is primarily caused by genetics. That's where we get our shapes from. Mouth breathing can cause some problems, but I would not place the whole blame on it.

You are still growing at 16. The jaw is one of the last parts of your body to develop, so you still have several years of growth ahead of you. Don't get in too much of a stew. You will continue to grow up to your early twenties.

As far as diet, eat lots of green vegetables, and take a good multi vitamin. There are ones out for teens. It doesn't take the place of a balanced diet, but it will help keep you growing.

good luck-and don't sweat the small stuff just yet.
 
You still have some growing to do- you are not like a female which stops growing before a male does. So you will still have time for your jaw to grow into you- and also it may not though if small jaws runs into your familly you also well have one most likely as well...

Breathing from the mouth has nothing to do with it though
 
Alright, I don't really know if it's genetics or this. It doesen't matter much. I just want to know, can a jaw still grow at my age so much, that it would look normal? Is it possible?
 
I have read, cabbage, leeks, orange, almond, coconut, chestnut, sesame seeRAB, turnip leaves, unspoiled sprouts, leafy green vegetables have benficial effects on the musclulosckeltal system. I would be sure to use a wide variety of other non-meat products also to have a balanced diet. Before he passed away someone I knew sold cancerous, tuberculous food to meat market because he could not afford to lose 1000 dollars per cow. Anyway the meat market can't possibly analyze every ounce of meat for mestasized cancer cells or tubercle bacteria.
 
Well, it's not that kind of small jaw. It's like the jaw is pushed back with my lower lip a little.
 
Before I answer I would like to ask a few questions? Do you have problems with your jaw,e.g.,pain? Do you or did you have a cleft palate? Did you have trouble feeding as a baby? You may have micrognathia which is a smaller than normal jaw. Let me know Sincerely, searchin
