Filiz Yamaner

I graduated from Ege University Faculty of Dentistry in 1996 and currently run my own dental clinic in Izmir, Turkey. In 2018, I became a certified Buteyko Breath instructor after completing training with Patrick McKeown in Turkey. I am also a proud member of the Buteyko Professionals International (BPI).
My dedication to advancing my skills led me to begin specialization in functional jaw orthopedics and orthodontic treatment in 2013. In 2016, I attended the IFUNA Congress in Italy, where I was honored to receive the second prize for my presentation on a patient I successfully treated with functional jaw orthopedics.
I have furthered my expertise by participating in training sessions with Professor Patricia Valerio on jaw orthopedics and temporomandibular treatments. I also received orthodontic training from Professors Anderson Mamade and Saule Gribel at the Modal Institute. Additionally, I completed my specialization at the Wilma Sameos Institute in Portugal from 2017 to 2018.
Beyond dentistry, I am an Advayta Yoga and mindful meditation instructor, with certifications in aromatherapy and needle-free acupuncture. I actively engage in education and social work at the Izmir Dentistry Room and pursue hobbies such as singing and nature sports.
My approach emphasizes the importance of correct breathing, nutrition, and muscle stimulation for healthy growth and development in children. As a result of our treatments, both children and adults experience physiological improvements that are more permanent. I continue to participate in training and present at conferences to share my knowledge and stay at the forefront of my field
