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.
