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 listen to this audiobook.

Really insightful and important information here. In summary, while resting have your teeth in light contact, tongue against the top of your mouth, and breath through your nose. Stop chewing only soft foods, chew things that are tougher and will work your jaws more. Breathe through your nose as much as possible, limit mouth breathing.

Reads like pseudoscience. Main point could have been summarized in an infographic. Wish I had bought a different book on the subject.

Pseudoscience & boring

Pedantic writing. All the redundancies kill the important message of practicing the Mew technique.
It was recommended on a great podcast so I stuck through and listened to the whole thing but it doesn’t get better it just gets more repetitive.
I love science based medical books and I HATED this book.

Painfully boring
