Dr. Mark Murphy
Executive Director
With over 40 years of experience in the dental industry, Mark has a gestalt perspective of the various functions and relationships. Dr. Murphy’s vast experience and relevant knowledge within the Dental Sleep Medicine industry have developed him into a very respected and successful lecturer in this field. As IAOS Chief Learning Officer, Dr. Murphy lectures for the Blueprints and Member Retreats and our Diplomate program. His invaluable insight into the DSM industry, as a practitioner and experienced clinician with experience in device sales, will be very beneficial to the educational department of IAOS.
Dr. Brandon Hedgecock
Lecturer, Dentist Coach
Dr. Brandon Hedgecock is the founder of Sleep Better Austin, a multi-location sleep-only practice in Austin, TX. Despite being a Diplomate of multiple organizations, investing thousands of dollars into marketing, and developing relationships with dozens of sleep doctors, Brandon was unable to make sleep a viable part of his practice. Just 2 years after joining IAOS, Brandon crossed the 50 appliances per month threshold and never looked back. Today, Sleep Better Austin has 4 locations and is rapidly growing. As a coach, Brandon helps dentists focus on the methodical growth of their sleep practices.
