Raw/chewy meat is your best friend. Mandible growth and bone density solely rely on bite force andenvironmental adaptation.
Cavemen had 3x the average humans mandible size because of their rough, chewy, raw diets.
How to take advantage of it?
Growth hormone is spiked for 30-90 minutes after compound lifts (bench, squat, deadlift), growth hormone is also responsible for stimulating osteoblasts (bone cell reproduction)
Under this logic, chewing extremly rough/raw meat directly after compound lifts will activate muscle stimulated growth, and the bones they attach to become more robust as they adapt to the new environmental strains placed on them
Mandibular condyle plays a role in the growth of the mandible in terms of lengthening. Chewing rough meat places additional mechanical stress on the condylar cartilage, promoting endochondral ossification, where cartilage is replaced by bone. This stress enhances vertical growth of the mandible and contributes to the forward growth of the jaw as well (anti-recession). The condyle adapts and remodels to accommodate the increased functional demands, just as any muscle.
