Speakers: Dr. Gregory A. Osborne has been treating OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) patients with oral appliances for most of his career as a general dentist. His passion for helping others was ignited when several of his extended family were diagnosed with OSA. He has seen how effective oral appliances can be and how compliance is high even with patients that are intolerant to CPAP therapy. He is recognized as a "Diplomate" by the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine. Dr. Osborne graduated from UT Health Center Dental School in 1981. He has been appointed as Clinical Faculty Assistant Professor since 2005 at the Dental School. Ruben Avalos, MS, LVN, CDP, RDA holds a BAS in nursing from Wayland University.
