ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Dr. Sandra Kahn is an accomplished orthodontist with a notable career spanning several decades. After over 20 years in private practice and treating approximately 7,000 clinical patients, Dr. Kahn transitioned from traditional orthodontics to airway-centered orthodontics. This approach emphasizes the harmony of the jaws and aims to guide the growth of the face and jaws in children, improving breathing and sleep health to prevent conditions like snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Her research includes the use of implants in orthopedic traction Bollard hooks, Biobloc Orthotropics therapy for treating dental and orthopedic decompensation in patients with cleft lip and palate, and the prevention of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea through Forwardontics combined with myopostural therapy. Together with Dr. Paul Ehrlich and their team at Stanford University, Dr. Kahn coined the term “Forwardontics” to promote protocols that support forward development of the facial middle and lower thirds. Dr. Kahn is a prolific author, having written several influential books. Her first book, “Let’s Face It – A Guide to Your Child’s Optimal Health, Facial, and Dental Development,” serves as a consultation guide for parents aiming to prevent pediatric respiratory problems. Her subsequent works, including “GOPex – Good Oral Posture Exercises,” “Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic” co-authored with Dr. Paul Ehrlich, and “Breathe 4.0: The Magic of Up-lock Breathing” co-authored with Dr. Wilfried Engelke, continue to make significant contributions to the field. She has also translated Dr. John Mew’s seminal work, “The Cause and Cure of Malocclusion,” and developed several patented devices, including the Kahn-Bow, Up-locker Bluetooth, Nasometer and the Up-lock Pacifier series.
