Dear Parents,
We all want a good life with great health for our children. How your child's jaws develop before age 12 has a huge influence on his or her facial appear-
ance and overall health as an adult. Deficient jaws lead to crowded and crooked teeth, lackluster look, weak chin, parted lips, long face, narrow
palate, and more medical, dental, and mood troubles later in life.

It's time to widen our viewfinders to see the pivotal role of the mouth in a growing child's overall health. This short book shows you the red flags
in dental-facial development: chapped lips, cranky moods, bunched-up teeth, teeth grinding, frequent cavities and respiratory infections, poor
posture, head tilt, bed wetting and more, plus what to do about them.

Your Child's Best Face shows the transformation from duckling to swan with real-life cases. You will learn to nurture your child for a fuller face
and straighter teeth - without drugs, surgery, needles, and in some cases even without braces. You will discover a new breed of dentists trained as
Airway Mouth Doctors (AMDs) to provide professional guidance toward your child's Best Face in chapter 1.

An AMD is a dentist with additional training beyond teeth and gums in oral contributions to overall health. An AMD has an expanded skill
set on oral facial growth in adults and children to help widen airway, support sleep, and align head-jaws-spine to bring on vibrant health
without surgery or medications.

This book provides new awareness and possibilities, not medical or dental advice. Individualized care can only be provided by your doctor, dentist,
or AMD. To keep this book short and sweet, only a fraction of the science is included. Readers seeking more in-depth information are encouraged
to refer to books listed under Resources on page 94. If you find some messages are repetitive, it's done intentionally to emphasize those points.

For best results, I suggest you read this book in the order presented, including taking your own Impaired Mouth Syndrome self-survey next.
Raising a child can be quite challenging at times. Nurturing Best Face for top health can be a great joy. I hope this book helps you.
