ANNUAL MEETING EXHIBIT MANAGER Emilie Hughes (972) 526-0704 E-mail: emilie@orthodontics.com Sandra Kahn, DDS, MSD is a graduate from the National University of Mexico (UNAM) and the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, CA. 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. Her approach is to treat the entire face and not just the teeth. Dr. Kahn is currently the only Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics that practices exclusively Biobloc Orthotropics and airway-centric orthodontics.
