Dr. German O. Ramirez-Yanez
DDS, MDSc, MS, PhD, FRCD(C)
Dr. Ramirez is a dentist from Colombia. He is a certified Paediatric Dentistry in Canada. He has trained in Orthodontics and received a Master Degree in Dental Sciences in Australia and PhD degree in Oral Biology in Australia. He also holds a Master degree with focus in Craniofacial Pain and Sleep Apnoea from Tufts University.
Dr. Ramirez is the author of the book “Early Treatment of Malocclusions: Prevention and Interception in Primary Dentition”, as well as the co-author of the book “Guiding Craniofacial Growth and Development with The Myobrace System.” He investigates on Craniofacial Growth and Development, the Patho-Physiology of Functional Disorders in the Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular system and how the craniofacial structures are modified by functional appliance.
