Malocclusion increases within well-defined populations after a transition from rural villages to the city, says dr. Sanjay gupta. Malocclusion is a result of a progressive reduction in jaw size and number of teeth, he says. This seems to have paralleled the transition from primitive agricultural to modern urbanized societies.

It is easy to see that the progressive reduction in jaw
size, if not well matched to a decrease in tooth size and number, could lead to crowding and malalignment. It is less easy to see why dental crowding should have increased quite recently, but this seems to have paralleled the transition from primitive agricultural to modern urbanized societies. Cardiovascular disease and related health problems appear rapidly when a previously unaffected population group leaves agrarian life for the city and civilization. High blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and several other medical problems are so much more prevalent in developed than underdeveloped countries that they have been labeled "diseases of civilization." There is some evidence that malocclusion increases within well-defined populations after a transition from rural villages to the city
