We just got back from Chicago! 🏙️

Last week, our team attended the AADSM National Conference, one of the premier gatherings in dental sleep medicine, and we couldn't be prouder of how our doctors showed up!

Dr. Iregui served on the planning committee, co-chaired the Evolving Trends in Sleep Data course, delivered a lecture on using sleep data for long-term patient monitoring and moderated three additional sessions throughout the conference.

And in a huge milestone for our practice, Dr. Becky Fox was elected President-Elect of the AADSM! Congrats Dr Fox! 🎉

Simply AMAZING, what we can assist our patients to achieve 🙌
Bravo, Sherri !!!

The result? She made it to the top.

"This device was a game changer. There would be no way I would have been able to climb that mountain without the aid of this device."

Custom oral appliances are quiet, travel-friendly, and effective — no mask, no electricity, no problem.
