Healthy Growth - Healthy Faces™

Woodmark Hotel and Still Spa - Kirkland Washington
September 26-28, 2024

Healthy Growth - Healthy Faces

Healthy Faces works as a balanced system. This system includes the jaws, joints, teeth, periodontium, lips, cheeks, and tongue. Each part of the system influences another. The way we breathe, speak, and chew influences skeletal growth. Unhealthy growth patterns can lead to future breakdown of the system early and late in life.

He enjoys teaching and lecturing throughout the world and publishing research on orthognathic surgery, facial function and dental and facial esthetics, obstructive sleep apnea, and the treatment of TMJ arthritis and condylar resorption.

Rebecca Bockow, DDS

Dr. Rebecca Bockow is dual trained orthodontist and periodontist. She received a BS in Biology with Honors at Haverford College and completed her DDS training at the University of Washington Dental School.
