Prehistoric skulls have minimal malocclusions.
Why do contemporary industrialized societies have such a high incidence
of malocclusion?

This historic skull has good facial form, beautiful dental occlusion
and no dental decay.
Reason: During that era there was no other way to feed newborns
except to breastfeed them. There were no bottle or pacifiers
available.

Only when you have a wide palate as seen on
this skull, can you have a large posterior nasal
aperture (PNA) opening. The PNA is the gateway to the beginning of the
soft portion of the airway. The larger the PNA the less likely (less prone)
the airway is to collapse.

Pacifier use (1997)
• 85% of children in her study used pacifiers by age one month. Children weaned from breastfeeding early use a pacifier more often than those who are breastfed longer.

Variables that can impact oral cavity and airway development.
• Improper feeding - artificial bottles and nipples.• Noxious habits - pacifiers, excessive infant habits.• Grossly enlarged tonsils and adenoids.• High palates and narrow arches• Ankyloglossia / tongue-tie.• Facial-skeletal growth abnormalities.• CNS dysfunction affecting facial muscles.• Drugs - refined sugars might be considered in this
category.• Illnesses.

Contributing factors to illness:• Not receiving mother’s immune system.• Decreased airway size due to:
– edema, obstructions, genetics, etc.• Day care contacts.• Hygiene practiced / contaminated pacifiers.• Environmental pollution. • Viral / bacterial outbreaks.• Stress.• Nutrition.• Economics.

During breastfeeding, the proper swallow is developed.

The tongue, teeth and cheeks are in a natural resting “neutral” position. There are no abnormal forces within the mouth. This allows for the proper alignment of the teeth, position of the dental arches, height of the palate and normal facial growth and development.

Test your own swallow.Close your eyes and swallow. Concentrate what your tongue does during the swallow. It should basically stay on the roof of your
mouth - and should not go forward or sideways, against or between your teeth.
If it does, you probably have gaps or spaces between your teeth in the area
where your tongue hits or goes between your teeth.

Stanford Morphometric Model
P = palatal heightMx = maxillary intermolar distanceMn = mandibular intermolar distanceOJ = overjetNC = neck circumferenceBMI = body mass index
P + (Mx - Mn) = 3 x OJ+ 3x (BMI - 25) x (NC/BMI)
“Model has clinical utility and predictive values for patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnea”

Summarizing formula
Anyone with a high palate, narrow dental arches, overjet, large neck and/or large body mass, is at risk for sleep apnea. If the individual does not have a large neck size or body mass, the predictive value of the formula is based on the height of the palate, arch wide and overjet.
