Moses® oral appliance inventor Dr. Allen Moses wins Haden-Stack Award

FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 8, 2012 -- Dr. Allen Moses, inventor of The Moses® oral appliance for treating snoring and sleep apnea, was awarded the Haden-Stack Award during the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain (AACP)’s 27th Annual International Clinical Symposium on July 27.

The AACP created the Haden-Stack Award in 1998 to honor Dr. Jack Haden and Dr. Brendan Stacks, who have made significant contributions to the advancement of knowledge and clinical practice in the field of Craniofacial Pain (CFP) and Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD).

“[Dr. Moses] exemplifies unselfish desire to educate others and has shown exemplary and extraordinary contributions to the advancement of knowledge and clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of CFP and TMD,” said Dr. H. Clifton Simmons III, AACP past president and previous Haden-Stack Award recipient.

Dr. Moses has a dental practice in the Willis/Sears Tower in Chicago. His primary endeavor is delivering high quality, comprehensive general dentistry. He has a special interest, expertise and board certification in diagnosing and treating Craniofacial Pain, Temporomandibular Disorders and oral appliances for controlling snoring and sleep apnea.

He holds a faculty appointment as an assistant professor at Rush University College of Medicine in the Department of Sleep Disorders and is the dental consultant in the Department of Sleep Disorders/Neurology at Northwestern Memorial Hospital Medical School where he teaches, does research and designs oral appliances.

His advancements in sleep disorders inspired Dr. Moses to create The Moses®, which was featured in Dental Product Report’s March 2011 cover story “While you were sleeping.”

It is the first appliance to incorporate tongue protrusion into the fundamental design. Assisting Dr. Moses in the design was Mr. John Li, one of the world’s foremost Dental Prosthetic experts and General Manager of Modern Dental Laboratory USA in Chicago. Modern is the exclusive manufacturer of The Moses® worldwide.

“It is a great honor to be associated with Dr. Moses. He is a selfless and highly motivated professional that has devoted his life to helping his fellow man. He provides all of us in the dental profession with a role model,” said Patrick Tessier, President and CEO of Modern Dental Laboratory USA.

The Moses® has been featured in numerous dental and sleep publications. Henry Schein selected The Moses® as the exclusive oral appliance for its Sleep Complete program. For more information, visit themoses.com.
