But when I was growing up around the 1940s, they industrialized dentistry.

And what they did was the same treatment for everybody.

Bring you in there.

We're going to start pulling teeth and then we're going to take those remaining teeth and we're going to crane them.

It's like foot binding, like that old Chinese practice of foot binding, right?

We're going to crane them in.

So as the rest of the head and face is growing, the mouth gets smaller and smaller and smaller.

It's exactly what's happened.

And that's why you have so many people with these retronathic profile.

I'm a perfect example of this.

Baby mouths, they call them.

My brother never had braces, right?

And he has a completely different profile than me.

He has a completely different mouth than I do.

Oh, he can probably get through a salad in six minutes.

He can chomp away.

Me, I'm taking a long time, 30, 40 minutes, pissing off everyone around me.

But that's just how it is.

So, you know, you can't go back in time.

I can't do anything about this now.
