t’s kind of wild to think about… 🦴 Skulls from 10,000 years ago are dug up today and the teeth still look STRONG and surprisingly straight 🦷. Meanwhile in 2025, so many of us are dealing with cavities, braces, retainers, and wisdom teeth drama.
The difference? Lifestyle + diet.
• Back then, people chewed tough, natural foods all day 🥩🥦. Strong jaws meant more space, so teeth came in straighter.
• They didn’t have soda 🥤, candy 🍭, or processed snacks. No frappuccinos, no late-night chips — less sugar = fewer cavities.
Fast forward to today… softer diets, less chewing, way more sugar. Result: crowded teeth, narrow jaws, cavities, and a booming dental industry 💸.
So yeah… cavemen didn’t need Invisalign 😬 or whitening strips ✨. But we definitely do.
