Sandra Kahn: Malocclusion, Facial Development & Breathing Disorders

Sandra Kahn, D.D.S., M.S.D., is an author and international lecturer on the topic of airway centric orthodontics. Dr. Sandra Kahn is currently the only Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics that practices exclusively Biobloc Orthotropics and airway-centric orthodontics. Her approach is to treat the entire face and not just the teeth. Dr. Kahn has been invited to serve on craniofacial anomalies teams at both Stanford University and the University of California in San Francisco (UCSF).

She began her work in orthodontics with a specialty in physical anthropology at the University of California in Berkeley focusing her studies on human craniofacial growth and development. After 22 years of clinical experience in orthodontics treating thousands of patients, Dr. Kahn was not satisfied with traditional orthodontics as a solution for treating her own children. In 2013, she retired from "traditional" orthodontics to focus in orthodontics related to a healthy airway, with a concentration on pediatric prevention of long-term Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Sandra’s latest book, “Jaws: The Story of a Hidden Epidemic”, co-authored with world-renowned biologist, Paul R. Ehrlich examines the hidden epidemic of malocclusion, or crooked teeth, and how it is impacting on our general health.
