Welcoming a Global Exchange of Innovation in Sleep, Imaging & Cranial Wellness

Innovators in Focus

Dr. Tim Adams, DDS, D.ACSDD, D.ASBA

Formerly of the Las Vegas Institute (LVI), Dr. Tim Adams will lead an in-depth session on cranial strains and their impact on posture, airway, neurology, tongue position and TMJ dysfunction utilizing the open loop cricket appliance. This device is utilized to unwind and help in realigning cranial bones, relieving strain patterns and in many cases can help to correct the root cause instead of the symptoms only. It is sometimes the only solution capable of resolving complex TMJ issues. Dr. Adams is a master at distalizing the complex into a simplified clinical approach that makes sense.

Dr. Francisco Eraso, DDS

Orthodontist, radiologist, and one of the founding members of Beam Readers, Dr. Eraso will provide expert training on advanced cone beam CT integration. Attendees will learn how to combine digital impressions with 3D CBCT data to create a custom clear tray system—a breakthrough approach for correcting cranial strains and supporting sleep apnea treatment through precision imaging.

David Gergen, CDT

A cornerstone of the ASBA and one of the most respected dental technicians in the world, David Gergen will join this elite panel. With decades of experience in sleep appliance therapy, David continues to guide the industry through innovation, education, and mentorship.

Who Should Attend: Dentists, physicians, sleep specialists, orthodontists, and allied professionals seeking hands-on, interdisciplinary education in sleep and cranial health.
