In my entire career, I've never seen a more balanced team than the team of Dr. Jerry Hu, Dr. Tim Adams and myself.
This weekend, we had a massive meeting with over 700 doctors (both MDs and DDSs).
Through ASBA, we have it all! Dr. Tim Adams' unique ability to take complicated concepts and simplify them allows us to understand the influence that quantum physics, epigenetics, biotensegrity, fascia, and mechanotransduction have on the treatment of our airway and TMJ patients. Understanding facial asymmetry and cranial strain patterns allows us to treat the root cause instead of just the symptoms that patients present to clinicians today. By introducing the open-loop Cricket dental appliance, Dr. Adams has given clinicians the desperately needed tools to allow the patient's body to augment its natural cyclic intermittent motion and movement, create the spaces needed to allow cranial strain patterns to unwind, and restore the motion needed to allow the body to heal itself.
Dr. Jerry Hu is documented by the US government as successfully achieving the lowest AHI with the Herbst appliance. He is a master of sleep treatment. I, Dr. Felix Liao, treat painless epigenetics with my Start Thriving appliance and my creation of AMDs (Airway Mouth Doctors).
I will also add that we have other things in common—besides all being Diplomates of the American Sleep and Breathing Academy [1]. We also send all of our cases to Gergen's Orthodontic Lab where the world's greatest dental technician resides, David Gergen. In my opinion, nobody has done more for sleep medicine than David Gergen. David Gergen is an artist! Everything he does, he puts his heart and soul into it. His hands are magic; he cuts border movements into the Herbst Appliance and knows how to position the arms. Also, ask Dr. Tim Adams what David can do when he's making Tim's Crickets. The same applies to my Start Thriving appliances. David puts 100% into everything he does. I learned from Todd Huntsman that Gergen's is also Vivo's top lab as well.
Jon Caulfield, the president of ASBA, only sends all of his cases to Gergen's Orthodontic Lab because it's the best.
We also learned that American Sleep and Breathing Academy Diplomates scored the highest among all academies on lowering AHI levels. David Gergen is an ambassador from the state of Arizona to the President, helping with VA reform. Mark Brnovich, who is a member to ASBA Senior Advisory Board, was also nominated as a U.S. Ambassador to Serbia. Andre Collins from the NFL Players Association was also in attendance.
I will say it again: I've never seen such a powerful organization. This organization has it all, and I'm extremely proud to be in the Hall of Fame and to serve as the Vice President of the ASBA!
