Background on the Mentors
Dr. Edward Spiegel, DDS: After treating a series of patients in the 1980′s with temporomandibular joint disorder by way of oral appliances, in 1992, he discovered an interesting correlation. As he treated these patients with oral appliances their snoring stopped. Having confirmed this finding after a retrospective case review, he began to evaluate the use of oral appliances to stop patients snoring and in turn the utility of oral appliances in solving a much larger health problem: Sleep Disordered Breathing conditions such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
He designed a rudimentary treatment protocol within his own office based on the dental management of Sleep Disordered Breathing by way of Oral Appliance Therapy. The local success of his clinical program in Erie, PA was mirrored nationally by dental practices emulating his treatment plan. He then created a clinical protocol intended for the dental assessment and treatment of snoring and other airway-related sleep disorders. The result is a turn-key system for the dental management of Sleep Disordered Breathing.
Bradley Eli, DMD, MS: Bradley Eli has a 20 year history of work in the field of Orofacial Pain management (head and neck). Upon completion of his UCLA program there were less than 10 like providers within the United States. In 1995, he began the work in the field of Sleep Medicine and then began the STAR (Sleep Treatment and Research) Institute. This unique early look at the field has assisted him in the development of methods and solutions to assist patients with these life changing pain and sleep disorders.
