Open Loop Cricket with Epigenetic Appliances Study Club with Dr. Tim Adams
ASBA Study Club Overview
The American Sleep and Breathing Academy (ASBA) Study Club seminars redefine what a successful dental sleep weekend course can be. The Study Club is led by ASBA Diplomates (D’ASBA) who focus on helping attendees implement sleep apnea dentistry into their practices.
A key distinction of the ASBA Study Club is its policy against product-specific presentations unless competitive or comparable products are also presented. This approach provides context and encourages open discussion around clinical best practices and sustainable revenue models.

Day 1
American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club – Day 1 Overview

- Cutting-edge insights into the latest sleep and breathing research
- Networking opportunities with leading clinicians and specialists
- Hands-on workshops focused on sleep apnea and respiratory health solutions
This day establishes the foundation for a comprehensive learning experience throughout the Study Club.
Day 2
American Sleep and Breathing Academy Study Club – Day 2 Overview
Day 2 builds on the momentum of Day 1 with advanced clinical topics, case-based discussions, and strategic practice insights designed to improve patient outcomes.
- Advanced Clinical Workshops on diagnostics and treatment strategies
- Case Studies presented by experienced practitioners
- Collaboration Opportunities with industry leaders and peers
Each ASBA Diplomate presents their personal strategic plan and shares the critical decision points that determine success in a sleep practice. Open discussion allows attendees to evaluate and refine their understanding of best practices.
Each Study Club includes a minimum of three ASBA presenters, all operating successful sleep practices exceeding $1.5 million in annual revenue. Personalized guidance and step-by-step instruction are central to the experience.
“Training in sleep apnea dentistry has become rife with individuals overstating their abilities and experience, selling substandard equipment at inflated prices to clinicians who simply want to treat their patients.”
“This past weekend, more than half of the attendees had attended more than one vendor-sponsored seminar in the last year. As a group, none had managed to gain traction with sleep apnea dentistry in their practice.”
ASBA Study Club is more than a series of seminars—it is an Academy designed to help dentists build successful sleep practices using proven methods, taught by practitioners who have done it the right way.
The Study Club format is unique, affordable, and intentionally limited to 12 offices, allowing for personalized discussion and region-specific guidance.
This program is ideal for practices beginning sleep apnea treatment as well as those seeking to reach their full potential. Doctors from markets ranging from 100,000 to 4.5 million in population share real-world success stories.
