An underdeveloped jaw is the direct result of the poor nutrition on children and their mother's during pregnancy. Some babies are born with underdeveloped jaws. Jaw development continues until the bones of the palate fuse at around age 20. Bone constantly grows or demineralize throughout life making proper nutrition from foods (not supplements), the most important aspect of preventative health.
