Suggest Cause For Marognathia In Children

CAN A MOTHERS POOR EATING HABIT DURING PREGNANCY RESULT IN A BABY WITH MACGRONATHIA? I HAD MY DAUGHTER AT THE AGE OF 24. AT BIRTH HER UPPER GUM WAS NOT DEVELOPED PROPERLY. IT TOOK HER A YEAR BEFORE HER FIRST TOOTH CAME IN, MY DAUGHTER IS NOW 13 AND IS EXHIBITING SIGNS OF MACGRONATHIA. HER LOWER JAW IS SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER THAN HER UPPER. I AM WONDERING IF THE FACT THAT I WAS EXTREMELY STRESSED OUT DURING PREGNANCY AND ATE POORLY IS THE CAUSEE OF MY DAUGHTERS PRESENT AILMENTS?

hellooo....read thru ur query....based on ur symptoms i must say that growth of the jaw depends on many factors. it may or may not be influenced by urfood habits but more importantly is the hormones of the child..so dont worry..what has happened has happened..shez 13yrs now if her 2nd molar is not erupted i can say that u hurry her to a pedodontist and get correction of the growth of her jaws(using orthopedic and myofunctional appliance).if her 2nd molars are errupted take her to orthodontist he will see the situation of her growth based on cephalogram xray and do treatment accordingly...so dont think about what u did in past and do correction of the child for her future..!!!its the right time.!!hope u r benefitted by my reply..have a healthy day!!!
