Braces - Under Construction
Typically we think of facial beauty, facial features, and an overall strong body as a feature of good genetic traits. It is not good genetics, but a good nutrition that forms the properly wide dental arch that gives space for all of our teeth to come in straight.
Dental Arch
Dental arch refers to the space on the top and bottom of our mouth. The shape of the arch is highlighted in red below. Having a wide dental arch is required for all of our teeth to come in straight. You can also see in the images the sutures which are part of the skull bones.

Poor Tooth Formation Is Related To Our Diet
Esteemed dentist, Weston Price explains:
"It is most remarkable and should be one of the most challenging facts that can come to our modern civilization that such primitive races as the Aborigines of Australia, have reproduced for generation after generation through many centuries-no one knows for how many thousands of years-without the development of a conspicuous number of irregularities of the dental arches. Yet, in the next generation after these people adopt the foods of the white man, a large percentage of the children developed irregularities of the dental arches with conspicuous facial deformities. The deformity patterns are similar to those seen in white civilizations." Price, W. Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
Patterns Produced after Adopting Modern Food of the "White Man"
Fully Developed Dental Arches
Another Example of Native and Modernized Samoan
"Note the marked difference in facial and dental arch form of the two Samoan primitives above and the two modernized below. The face bones are underdeveloped below causing a marked constriction of the arches with crowding of the teeth. This is a typical expression of inadequate nutrition of the parents."
Can Braces Be Avoided?
In some cases braces can be avoided. I had braces when I was growing up, they are abosultley horrible. They do not have long term results, and my teeth feel all disjointed and out of place.
As I grew up, many of my teeth went out of alignment. The problem was not that my teeth were genetically crooked, but that I was eating such a poor diet, that my dental arch did not grow to its full potential.
If your child needs braces, please consider some alternatives which can limit or even avoid your child's need for braces.
These alternatives include:
ALF - advance lightwire functional, widens the dental arch, realigns the facial bones.
SOMA - a holistic device that can dramtically realign the dental arch and cranial bones.
CROZAT - a system of widening the dental arch
Great article, cranial bones and health.
Learn about special foods to feed your growing children to help minimize and even prevent narrow dental arches.

The first dentist I saw diagnosed decay and a probable need for a root canal, and said that the tooth might already be dead. Her pronouncement caused me untold agony over the next several weeks. Then a holistic dentist determined that the tooth is alive and recognized that it has totally re-enamelized. He simply replaced the lost filling. He told me I am lucky, because most people are not able to get their teeth to re-enamelize like that. Well, I am now a believer. Nourishing Traditions is for real, and it was with Rami's explanation and guidance that I found a way to help my body contain the damage in my teeth. My relief at this outcome is immeasurable.
