Dr. Ira L Shapira DDS, D, ABDSM, D, AAIPM, FICCMO, MICCMO graduated in 1977 but had a long history of personal TMJ disorders. Seeking treatment as a student, he was a designated patient in a host of continuing education programs at Loyola and he realized that experts had a lot to learn. He became involved in treating sleep disorders due to the knowledge he received from Dr. Jim Garry that allowed him to recognize sleep-disordered breathing in his son, Billy.
