There's a silent epidemic in western civilization, and it is right under
our noses. Our jaws are getting smaller and our teeth crooked and
crowded, creating not only aesthetic challenges but also difficulties
with breathing. Modern orthodontics has persuaded us that braces and
oral devices can correct these problems. While teeth can certainly be
straightened, what about the underlying causes of this rapid shift in
oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways?
Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a
world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, present the biological,
dietary, and cultural changes that have driven us toward this major
health challenge. They propose simple adjustments that can alleviate
this developing crisis, as well as a major alternative to orthodontics
that promises more significant long-term relief. Jaws will change your
life. Every parent should read this book.
