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.

Question conventional wisdom & develop new habits

April 10, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I love books that question conventional wisdom. Many 'truths' we hold to be self-evident are questioned under a new light and with factual case studies. For example: Crooked teeth are genetic. Sleep apnea and snoring cannot be prevented. Braces and tooth extractions are the best way to fix crooked teeth. In Jaws, Dr Kahn and Professor Elrich offer us a new appreciation for a crucial part of our physiology, the jaw. I commend them for offering a a refreshing new theory, and also practical advice. It's a book that challenges us to try to put into practice new habits. Eating crunchy foods, chew gum (yes, my kids liked this one!) and breathe with your mouth shut, teeth together.

I’m glad I did

April 4, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

When I first saw the attractive cover of JAWS I was intrigued. So I browsed the book’s content and decided to buy it. I’m glad I did. The book is basically about the abnormal development of our jaws because of our eating and breathing habits and the long-lasting effects of such abnormalities on human health. I had no idea that the proper development of the jaws is fundamental to breathing and sleeping properly. If jaws developed abnormally, it can cause sleeping disorders which in turn can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, depression and even cancer among other maladies. Being a professional devoted to solving environmental problems, I recognize this as a health problem, but as one caused by the greatest environmental change human beings have faced, going from hunting and gathering to practicing agriculture and industrialization. The most important message of this extensively illustrated book is that these problems can be solved by understanding and correcting their causes, which are clearly explained in the JAWS. The book should be read by anybody who has children, because its recommendations can have long lasting positive effects on the well – being of our loved ones. JAWS scientific documentation is impressive, but not intrusive. It reads like a novel.

Book with long lasting health implications

September 24, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I rarely write reviews but this book compelled me to do so. As a dentist I find this information vital to the dental community and not just the general public. There is a lack of basic understanding of this topic and unfortunately way too many treatment modalities that never address the root cause of why we have crowding of our teeth, narrow jaws, breathing issues and developmental implications that will have long lasting consequences. I feel so strongly that I like to buy multiple copies of this and have my patients all read this.

Important health information

April 8, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

When my dad told me he was writing a book that explained, in part, why people end up with sleep apnea, I was surprised and intrigued. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about three years ago and it explained a lot of my sleepiness and exhaustion. Thank God I was fortunate to be able to adapt easily to a CPAP machine, which has helped immensely, but there is no question that maintaining it and schlepping it everywhere I go is a hassle and an expense. In any event, I don't know anyone who is more exhaustive in their approach to researching issues than my dad is, and when I met Sandra I was equally impressed. I have made sure my three daughters have this book -- especially the two with small children! The cultural changes that they document have serious repercussions that can be avoided by changing habits early in life. Avoiding snoring, and receding chins is the least of it -- many people don't realize that sleep apnea can be life threatening. If it goes unaddressed it puts undue strain on the heart. All proceeds from this book are donated to organizatiions working to improve human health and sustaining the planet for future generations.

Dr S Kent Lauson, Author Straight Talk about Crooked Teeth & The NEO Way

Think outside the mouth when considering orthodontics.

April 16, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Congratulation to Sandra and Paul for a book that will save lives and help make many peoples lives more healthy. I am very glad to see another book that helps to expose significant limitations of 'traditional' orthodontics. The book clearly makes the reader aware of the devastating effects of long term mouth breathing and other destructive oral habits that can begin as early as birth. Orthodontists have been traditionally trained that straight teeth is the primary objective, ignoring the fact that the teeth are connected to the rest of the body. This book points out that the traditional approach is very short sighted and may lead later to TMJ dysfunction, sleep apnea or other serious health issues. The public is being made more aware with this book and will have more ability to not only be a more discerning consumer, but may be much healthier because of it. This is a must read for anyone considering orthodontic treatment.
