About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe AADSM Annual Meeting is the premier dental sleep medicine conference of the year. It is open to dentists, dental team members, physicians, scientists, and other health care professionals who treat or have an interest in treating patients with sleep-disordered breathing, and it features the most clinically relevant and evidence-based topics in dental sleep medicine to help attendees provide the highest quality care.
The event is hosted by the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, established in 1991 as the only non-profit national professional society dedicated exclusively to the practice of dental sleep medicine. The specialty centers on oral appliance therapy to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) — a condition affecting an estimated 54 million adults.
The 2027 Annual Meeting is set for Orlando, FL. For scale, the 2026 meeting brought together 1,000 dental sleep professionals for three days of education, networking, and inspiration, taking place in Chicago, IL. With multiple education tracks, an exhibit hall, and continuing education credits, it is a key annual gathering for anyone building or growing a dental sleep medicine practice.
