Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic

Western civilization is facing a silent epidemic that often goes unnoticed: our jaws are shrinking, and our teeth are becoming increasingly crooked and crowded. This not only presents aesthetic challenges but also creates difficulties with breathing. While modern orthodontics offers solutions like braces and oral devices to straighten teeth, it fails to address the underlying causes of this rapid shift in oral evolution and the health risks posed by obstructed airways.

In their groundbreaking book, “Jaws,” Sandra Kahn and Paul R. Ehrlich, a pioneering orthodontist and a world-renowned evolutionist, respectively, delve into the biological, dietary, and cultural changes that have led us to this major health challenge. They offer insights into simple adjustments that can alleviate this developing crisis and propose a major alternative to traditional orthodontics that promises more significant long-term relief.

“Jaws” is a transformative read that has the potential to change lives. Every parent should consider the insights provided in this book, as it sheds light on a critical issue that affects not only dental health but also overall well-being.
