evolutionary wise, very far into the future would we develop different mouths and very few teeth?

Pills as food wouldn’t ever catch on, people like too much about food to just settle on eating pills for the rest of their lives. Even though there is a niche who enjoy huel.

    Are you aware of the changes in modern teeth due to dietary changes? Basically, we now need braces because we no longer chew such hard dense foods.

      But it’s not like the teeth adjusted to our diet because they had to. It’s just that it’s no longer detrimental to survival to not have perfectly aligned teeth and so those who now have braces are perfectly fine and able to reproduce. Now the future ratio of people in need for braces is only a matter of how many people that needed braces and how many that didn’t need them get children and that isn’t dependent on their teeth anymore.
