I’m worried my daughter has the same jaw problem as me, can I stop this?

Q.
Hi,

I have a 7 month old baby girl and am worried that when she grows up her bottm jaw will stick out more than her top jaw.

I have this problem and am concerned that she will have the same.

I have noticed lately that when she makes noises her bottm gums show and you cant see her top gums, she talks like she is sticking her bottm gum out.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

A.
I understand your concern, but at that young age there isn’t much you can do. That’s just how nature design her and only at a later stage in her life you might have to look at Orthodontic treatment.
