Why do kids need braces today? If your looking for orthodontic treatment for your child, it’s important
When we dig to the root cause, we find that modern orthodontics may be missing the cause of crooked teeth.
Dr. Sandra Kahn began her work in orthodontics with a specialty in physical anthropology at the University of California in Berkeley focusing her studies on human craniofacial growth and development. After 22 years of clinical experience in orthodontics treating thousands of patients, Dr. Kahn was not satisfied with traditional orthodontics as a solution for treating her own children. In 2013, she retired from “traditional” orthodontics to focus in orthodontics related to a healthy airway, with a concentration on pediatric prevention of long-term Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Her approach is to treat the entire face and not just the teeth.
Dr. Sandra Kahn is an author and international lecturer on the topic of airway centric orthodontics. Dr. Sandra Kahn has been invited to serve on craniofacial anomalies teams at both Stanford University and the University of California in San Francisco (UCSF). She is currently the only Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics that practices exclusively Biobloc Orthotropics and airway-centric orthodontics.
Her book, Jaws co-authored with Paul Ehrlich, is an exploration of crooked teeth as an anomaly of human health.
