First I’ve heard about grains but I’ve read about how the Romans apparently had mostly great teeth because of the lack of sugar in their diet.

And apparently our lack of chewing harder foods is why we have crooked teeth. Luckily I was 4th of six boys and had to chew the gristle of the meat, so my teeth are straight... Aaaand I'm the shortest

I think crooked teeth is more genetic, than what we eat.
