Biography:

Dr. Adams was born and raised in Madison and is proud to deliver dental care to her friends and neighbors. She completed her undergraduate studies in 1985 at the College of St. Elizabeth. She went on to study dentistry at the UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School and graduated in 1991.

Over the past 16 years she has traveled the country and spent hundreds of hours in seminars, study clubs and other continuing education courses in order to stay current on advances in the field. She has completed a comprehensive post-graduate program in orthodontics.  Dr. Adams has dedicated herself to the art and science of cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry.

As a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Dr. Adams is able to help diagnose and treat both snoring and sleep apnea. Whether it is "just snoring" that is disturbing a bed partner, or the more dangerous Obstructive Sleep Apnea, that puts you at higher risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes, Dr. Adams can treat these situations with the use of a customized oral appliance.

As a Certified Invisalign Provider and member of numerous orthodontic organizations for general dentists, Dr. Adams is able to incorporate tooth movement, be it minor or major, to supplement a patient's care. She looks at the whole face and takes into consideration future growth when designing a patient's treatment plan.

Looking at the whole patient is a priority for Dr. Adams. Whether it is a reluctant three year old who is visiting the office for the first time, or a patient with complex dental needs, Dr. Adams takes the time to understand the patient's needs, make them comfortable and provide an outstanding level of care.

Biography:

Dr. Fedorowich (Craig) is the eldest of 3 boys, growing up on a farm near Neepawa, Manitoba.  After graduating from dental school, Craig and his wife Barb moved to Hamiota in 1986 to create Hamiota Dental. The couple has one son, with Craig very much enjoying his family time. When it comes to activity, there is nothing better than winter!  

Dr. Fedorowich is very involved in the town of Hamiota and enjoys participating in various aspects of the community.

Dr. Fedorowich is and has been involved in activities for his profession.  He has been a part time instructor in the department of Pediatric Dentistry at the Faculty of Dentistry. He is a past President of the Manitoba Dental Association; he has served as chair of the MDA’s Hospital Dentistry Committee; functions on the MDA’s Peer Review Committee; and has and is participating on various other committees. He is a past Governor of the Canadian Dental Association; has also served there on a number of CDA committees and currently serves on the Commission of Dental Accreditation for Canada.

His current memberships include the:

• Canadian Dental Association
• Manitoba Dental Association
• International Association for Orthodontics
• American Academy of Cranial Facial Pain
• American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.

He is the recipient of a number of honors and awards, notably the University of Manitoba Gold Medal, the Manitoba Dental Association's Presidents Award of Merit and has Fellowship in: the International College of Dentists; the Pierre Fauchard Academy; and the Academy Dentistry International.

His interest in Dental Sleep Medicine evolved from experiences with children and their airway issues.  Crowded teeth can arise from narrow jaws. Narrow jaws can be genetic or be created from outside problems like mouth breathing.  Children who do not breathe well often do not sleep well. It was a natural step to begin looking at adults with the same problems.

As a result, Dr. Fedorowich sets aside a portion of his practice to treat people with breathing and sleep issues.  Over the last 10 years Dr. Fedorowich has completed residencies in Orthodontics, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction and has completed numerous advanced courses that deal with Sleep Disorders (snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea).

University of Missouri-Kansas City 1971-1973

Biography:

Dr. Irwin graduated from the University of Alabama School of Dentistry in 1968 where he was inducted as a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon dental honor society and received a scholastic achievement award.  After serving 3 years in the US Army in Belgium he attended the University of Missouri Kansas City for his orthodontic training.  He has been practicing orthodontics in Montgomery since 1973.  In 1992 Dr. Irwin took his first continuing education course on the treatment of snoring and sleep apnea using oral appliances and has been “hooked” ever since.  At that course he began to realize the quality of life is determined by the quality of sleep. Since that time he has made several hundred appliances and takes pride in achieving the maximum benefit for every patient that he treats.

He has a passion for rendering the highest quality of care backed by years of expert clinical experience and the use of only oral appliances which are approved by the FDA

Dr. Irwin has taken many continuing education courses to keep abreast of all the advances being made in the field of dental sleep medicine, and to increase his knowledge and maintain his commitment to excellence in the treatment of patients who suffer from snoring and sleep apnea.

During these years he has worked very closely with the medical doctors in the area who treat patients with sleep disorders.  He firmly believes the treatment of the patients is a “team approach”, and has therefore, maintained an open line of communications with each of them.

Dr. Irwin gets just as much satisfaction from hearing how much he has helped his sleep patients and increased their quality of life as he does seeing the finished smiles on his orthodontic patients.

For the last 4 years Dr. Irwin has spoken to more than 45 civic clubs and organizations in the area on snoring and sleep apnea to increase the public’s awareness of the symptoms, the seriousness of the problem, its medical implications, and the different choices of treatment.

Oral appliances are a great conservative choice for people who snore or have mild to moderate sleep apnea, and also for those with severe sleep apnea who cannot tolerate the CPAP mask.  They can even help in saving a marriage, and oftentimes only a few office appointments are necessary.

He is the Chief of Dental Sleep Medicine at Methodist Hospital and teaches Dental Sleep Medicine in hospital residency programs in Brooklyn.

Hearing patients treated by Dr. Korngut report that they can “dream again,” feel happy about getting through the day without being exhausted, and not being a pain to their family members, gives him great satisfaction. Knowing that the service he provides greatly improves the quality of his patient’s lives provides great impetus for him to continue his education in sleep medicine.
In keeping with his desire to provide quality general dentistry and sleep appliances in a personalized and comforting environment, he recently built an office in Brooklyn Heights combining dentistry with his enjoyment of art. The office is a “gallery” design displaying the work of some of his accomplished artist patients. There is also a massage room.

Biography:

Dr. Lawson graduated in 1986 from the University of Manitoba. While general dentistry was his full time service from 1986 until 2005 he developed a keen interest in orthodontics and the dynamics of the growing face. He has completed extensive training all over North America from leaders in Myofunctional Therapy, Functional Jaw Orthopedics, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD), Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Orthodontics.

Over the past 24 years Dr Lawson has completed mini-residencies and advanced residencies in Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction and Sleep Disordered Breathing. He has completed numerous advanced courses that deal with Sleep Disorders (snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea). His new facility is a Licensed TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centre, and he works with a group of specialists (ENT’s, Respirologists , and RN’s ) at Rana Respiratory Wellness Centre in Winnipeg offering solutions for snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea to patients who have completed Sleep Studies .

In 2005 Dr. Lawson limited his practice to treating these conditions and his new facility utilizes the latest technology to diagnose and treat patients and return them to a state of health where they can enjoy life free from pain and discomfort.

This will ensure that our children do not suffer from the symptoms associated with unbalanced jaw relationships or an obstructed airway.

Biography:

Doctor Morgan began placing oral appliances in 1990 for snoring in his general dental practice. Based on anecdotal evidence of success from his own family and patients, he took his discovery to the physicians at Scripps Clinic Medical Group and home of a world renowned sleep medicine specialty group. That’s where he met Dr Stuart Menn. One of the field’s early leaders in sleep medicine, Menn recognized the potential utility of jaw advancement devices to prevent airway collapse that occurs in sleep apnea and agreed to launch a study on oral appliances and their effects in the sleep laboratory. Prior to this there were no fully controlled trials that supported oral appliance therapy in peer reviewed scientific journals in sleep medicine. In fact, it took more than 5 years and the work of many authors to claim acceptance into the journal SLEEP, recognized still as the prestigious journal of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

As a dental clinician, and then not trained in the rigors and protocols of professional scientific investigation, the depth of the contribution that oral appliances would make to the field of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) today,  could not have been appreciated then . Doctor Morgan has practiced dental sleep medicine (DSM) for more than 12 years, after what is now considered a sentinel work in the science of sleep medicine. However, further opportunities for research to grow the science of this valuable therapy would not present again to Dr Morgan for many years.  Some research was pursued by other investigators after the early discoveries were made, but legitimate endeavors that embraced scientific rigor were few. As a consequence, oral appliance therapy for OSA was stuck in the deep expanse that often separates medical specialties.  The lack of support from medicine for oral appliances squashed significant clinical research and left dentists on their own to promote the field. Dr Morgan was fortunate to have a continued path for development in design and the development of DSM for patients through the progressive thinking of the docs at Scripps Clinic. He would continue to learn more and more over many years about sleep medicine in general and about when to deploy DSM for patients as they were referred to his care.

“Skill, care and judgment” guided Dr Morgan through the treatment of OSA with oral appliances for thousands of patients when referred for a “last chance,” and other therapies had failed. New research from Canada helped to demonstrate the way in which oral appliances prevented airway collapse. Patterns and consistencies emerged with regard to what brought success to patients, and when treatment failed. The fundamental question of how to predict success with oral appliances (and perhaps the most important question for sleep physicians: when to prescribe them), eluded researchers.

A fundamental drive to uncover the reason behind failure in certain cases would bring Dr Morgan to begin his relationship with Dr Philip Westbrook, one of the early giants in sleep medicine. Dr Westbrook recognized that there were many shortfalls in the formal way in which sleep was studied overnight in the sleep laboratory. He also realized the important contribution that dentists could make in the sleep medicine field where CPAP could not meet patients’ needs and expectations. An alliance was formed with Dr Morgan and his company Advanced Brain Monitoring (ABM) to help  uncover the variable effects of oral appliances and, further, to develop novel ways to measure  sleep breathing disorders with portable home monitors.

A 1.5 million dollar grant was awarded by the NIH to Dr Westbrook and  ABM to study the effects of oral appliances, as well as  developing better ways to measure sleep disordered breathing. Doctor Morgan had once again found a path toward research endeavors, and this time he would be able to investigate new and contemporary questions that may lead to better understanding of important questions like: “What patients are best served by oral appliances?” And, “How can treating dentists improve outcomes using the new technology offered by home monitors? Further and perhaps most importantly, “What is the role of dentists in sleep medicine, and can dentists make a meaningful contribution by saving the lives and livelihood of patient affected by OSA?”

Research that began with ABM in 2007 is now concluded and much has been learned already. Of the over 130 patients that completed clinical trials, almost all are completely helped by oral appliances and would prefer them to pressure machines and masks. Both phases of the two part study were multicenter trials and even a novice dental office did very well in providing this care. New insight into differences between types of oral appliances and how sleep study measures can help to steer outcomes were revealed. A critical difference in success is finding jaw positions that are effective and comfortable for the patient. Gender differences and preferred sleep position differences data allows for better predictions about final outcomes with oral appliances. Incredibly, even slight adjustments of jaw protrusion (as small as a quarter of one millimeter) can make significant differences in outcomes. Small amounts of alcohol consumption can skew night-to-night results, as well. Dentists who employ home sleep monitors to guide treatment decisions improve their outcomes by almost 30%, lending credibility to this new technology.

Dr Morgan and his colleagues will continue to unravel more new information about oral appliances using the acquired study data for years to come. A side study by Dr Morgan and colleagues looking at prevalence of OSA in typical suburban dental practices showed that a very high number of patients remain undiagnosed for OSA. The ravages of sleep apnea on the cardiovascular system are very clear and this study alone points toward recognition and referral to qualified sleep specialists as a high priority, and something dentists should be able to do with minimal training.

Dr Morgan has published over 15 abstracts and papers, as well as book chapters on obstructive sleep apnea, its causes and consequences for humans. He lectures nationally on OSA to layperson, as well as dentist and physician groups, on the role of oral appliances in the treatment of snoring and OSA. He is the academic program chair for the Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, has previously sat on its executive board and remains an ambassador and founding member. His newest research is focused on the relation between OSA and TMJ/headache disorders.

Biography:

Dr. Brock Rondeau is a General Dentist who specializes in the treatment of patients with orthodontic, orthopedic and TMJ problems. He graduated from Dalhousie University Dental School in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1966.

As a new graduate, Dr. Rondeau attended numerous orthodontic seminars across North America and found inconsistent philosophies being taught on the subject of orthodontics. After attending many of these lectures, he developed his own two phase treatment philosophy and cephalometric analysis.

With the sponsorship of a dental lab, Dr. Rondeau began lecturing his philosophies in the mid-1980s. Dr. Rondeau's philosophy and lecturing style became so well-liked and well-known that the dental lab suggested he travel and lecture across North America.

Biography:

After two years as an itinerant dentist in the bush of Alaska with the United States Public Health Service, I chose Anchorage as the location I wished to live. I started my general dentistry practice here in 1981.  For the past five years dental sleep medicine has become an exciting new focus in my practice.  After studying the role of dentistry in sleep medicine, the education and treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea and snoring has become a definitive part of the care of my patients.   I gain a great deal of personal satisfaction finding that I can help change a persons life overnight; allowing restorative sleep, increased energy, preserving sleep with a bed partner, and the potential to arrest the decline of health found in people with Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.  I team with physicians and sleep clinics to provide the most appropriate and expeditious treatment available.

Biography:

Dr. Stuart was born in Illinois and moved to Southern California when he was five years old. He spent his childhood and teen age years doing the kinds of things that were done in LA in the 1950s and 60s. School, cars, surf, fun and sun. In late 1965 he was drafted into the United States Army and served a year of duty as an airborne combat medic in the jungles of Vietnam. During that time he had the extreme good fortune to meet and become friends with a medical doctor who saw potential in him and inspired him to do something meaningful with his life.

Upon his release from the military, he set his goals and began his college education at Santa Monica City College and then went on to the University of Southern California to finish his undergraduate work and obtain his doctorate degree from its school of dentistry.

In 1975, he, his wife and first child moved to Marin County California where he began his practice of general dentistry. During that time, he's been grateful that he's made the effort and had the good fortune to be a part of an evolution of modern dentistry that allows him to do things for his patients that he could have never dreamed of doing as a 21 year old sitting in a wet foxhole in Vietnam.

"Being able to provide relief for people suffering from head and neck pain, helping people with potentially life-threatening sleep breathing disorders, and rejuvenating unattractive smiles to the highest standards with the use of modern porcelain technology" -- are the three things that still keep Dr. Stuart most motivated and rewarded in the daily practice of his chosen profession.

Biography:

" It’s deeply rewarding to provide real solutions to people who, oftentimes, have spent a great deal of time, money,and heartache trying to get help for their problem."

When I founded this practice in 1971, I helped people obtain healthier smiles. I also saw patients with problems that went well beyond what most general dentists (and many physicians, too) were able to treat. I knew I had to learn and do more!

For 30 + years, I’ve focused specifically on craniofacial pain, TMJ disorders and sleep disorders. In addition to ongoing research, I completed numerous fellowships and board certifications. To bring cutting-edge treatments to my patients, I also:
