I will dig up photos of families where the first children were concieved on modern foods, and then the mother switched to traditional foods, and the babies born after that, had round well shaped faces, and no crooked teeth.
Even in Elvis's family, this can be seen. Just reversed. Good farm diet and then a city diet for the last kids.

A quote from http://www.cheeseslave.com/2008/08/12/nutrition-and-facial-development-past-and-present/
Do take a look at the whole post, as she has a line up of excellent photos and menus.

The groups Price studied included sequestered villages in Switzerland, Gaelic communities in the Outer Hebrides, indigenous peoples of North and South America, Melanesian and Polynesian South Sea Islanders, African tribes, Australian Aborigines and New Zealand Maori.

Wherever he went, Dr. Price found that beautiful straight teeth, freedom from decay, good physiques, resistance to disease and fine characters were typical of native groups on their traditional diets, rich in essential nutrients.

When Dr. Price analyzed the foods used by isolated peoples he found that, in comparison to the American diet of his day, they provided at least four times the water-soluble vitamins, calcium and other minerals, and at least TEN times the fat-soluble vitamins, from animal foods such as butter, fish eggs, shellfish, organ meats, eggs and animal fats–the very cholesterol-rich foods now shunned by the American public as unhealthful.

These healthy traditional peoples knew instinctively what scientists of Dr. Price’s day had recently discovered — that these fat-soluble vitamins, vitamins A and D, were vital to health because they acted as catalysts to mineral absorption and protein utilization. Without them, we cannot absorb minerals, no matter how abundant they may be in our food.

Dr. Price discovered an additional fat-soluble nutrient, which he labeled Activator X, that is present in fish livers and shellfish, and organ meats and butter from cows eating rapidly growing green grass in the Spring and Fall. All primitive groups had a source of Activator X, now thought to be vitamin K2, in their diets.

Here is one helpful link.
Premodern jaw structure, or some post modern depending on diet, is U shaped, whereas post modern, poor diet, is V shaped.

Photos of siblings and parents and children are in chapter 17 of the link to Dr Prices book.
I cannot upload them, as they will not save as jpeg .

This makes me afraid to have children.

All you have to do, is change the way you eat. You will have children with excellent facial structure, if you eat foods that are high in fat soluble vitamins.
Nourish your body, rather then feed it.

When I was in High School I spent a summer (1994) with Dr. John Lukacs at the University of Oregon, who theorized that the effort it takes to masticate non-processed foodstuffs encourages a spread in palate width and a reduction of palatal arch depth. So I spent my summer measuring plaster casts of teeth of people in India. Because the caste system is so regimented, it seemed a good social stratifier (high caste = high class = processed foods; low caste = low class = less processed foods), and he already had the casts so we didn't have to find/survey a sample group. Our sample was too small (I can't remember how many upper jaws I measured... probably 36 per drawer, and maybe 62 drawers... over 2000, and 5 measurements per mouth), thus the results were inconclusive. The arch width didn't seem to change, but depth changes did favor the theory.

And this is just as boring now as it was back then.

I did a 10 min presentation on it for a group of other smart kids who'd gotten internships, and mine was most boring AND the only one that was actually scientific.

Uh, nope.
Look at the pictures of parents and children in chapter 17.
No bad genetics added.
Just a change in food.

These changes were village wide, and occured with all families that switched to modern processed foods. and stopped eating fish, red meat, organ meats, raw milk, etc, as their main foods.
