New Attendee information

The South Bay Airway Study Club, supported by ClearWave Orthodontics, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing continuing education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and professional community among healthcare providers committed to excellence in airway-focused dentistry, oral function, sleep health, and overall health. To preserve the collaborative culture and educational excellence of our Study Club, membership is reserved for professionals who demonstrate a genuine commitment to lifelong learning, evidence-based clinical practice, and interdisciplinary patient care.

In January 2026, we proudly entered into a partnership with the Forsyth Academy for Continuing Education (FACE), a subsidiary of the American Dental Association (ADAD)’s Corporate Ventures. With guidance from world-renowned oral health scientists and clinicians, FACE now co-hosts and academically supports our meetings, elevating both the quality and impact of our programs. As part of this partnership, new attendees who have not yet become Club Members register for each meeting through FACE.

Until Club membership is established, a $100 FACE registration fee applies per meeting. Once membership is approved, registration and membership are free, and we’ll provide a coupon code to use during registration. 

To register, use the QR code on the CE Flyer, available on Instagram @ClearWaveOrtho or by email (hello@ClearWaveOrtho.com) 

How to Become a Club Member 

Membership is by application and Board approval. 

To establish membership and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to the Study Club, applicants must:

• Attend three (3) Study Club meetings within the first 18 months to demonstrate genuine interest and commitment. 
• Be an active, collaborative member of the airway-focused healthcare community by fostering open communication and interdisciplinary collaboration in patient care.
• Hold all required licenses and/or certifications necessary to practice the professional services they represent online and in person.
• Be in good professional standing, with no known state or federal disciplinary actions that would be inconsistent with the Study Club's mission, as determined by the Board of Directors.
• Receive approval by a majority vote of the Board of Directors based on the published membership criteria.
• Residents in training are always welcome to attend free of charge. We simply ask that they RSVP in advance so we can plan and prepare accordingly.
• These requirements must be maintained throughout membership. Failure to maintain them may result in suspension or termination of membership, as determined by the Board of Directors.

The South Bay Airway Study Club is governed by a three-member Board of Directors: Dr. Jinny Kwak, Dr. Allen Huang, and Dr. Kyle Yip. With more than 70 members and growing, the Study Club continues to provide a collaborative forum for continuing education, interdisciplinary learning, and professional connection. We look forward to welcoming you to our community and seeing you at our next CE meeting!
