Gilles Lavigne, D.M.D and M.Sc. from the Université de Montréal, and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto, is an internationally recognized expert in clinical research on sleep bruxism and the interaction between sleep, pain, and snoring issues. He received an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Zurich in 2009. After completing postdoctoral studies at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda on pain neurobiology, he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada.
