Biolux Research announces appointment of Dr. Tim Shaughnessy as consulting orthodontist

VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA — Biolux Research Ltd. is pleased to announce the appointment of Timothy G. Shaughnessy, DDS, MS, as consulting orthodontist to Biolux. Dr. Shaughnessy is an American Board of Orthodontics certified orthodontist, a director of the Atlanta Orthodontic Study Group, and a distinguished presenter having lectured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and France on “Comprehensive Orthodontics.” Dr. Shaughnessy studied orthodontics at University of North Carolina School of Dentistry, and has more than 25 years of private practice experience in Atlanta, Ga.

In the role of consulting orthodontist on the Biolux Clinical and Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Shaughnessy is to review and advise on Biolux’s research and development programs, expand the network of orthodontists and beta test sites for clinical evaluation of prototypes and products, and treat a series of cases/patients with the OrthoPulse™ for clinical evaluation of efficacy and product validation.

"I am excited to formally join Biolux and continue to explore the benefits of light accelerated orthodontics with the OrthoPulse™,” states Dr. Shaughnessy. “I have used the device in my private practice for the last year and have had the opportunity to evaluate the promising data from the various clinical trials worldwide. Reducing orthodontic treatment time in such a noninvasive way is obviously attractive to both patients and providers."

“We are delighted to have Dr. Shaughnessy join us and help in development and evaluation of our OrthoPulse™ device,” states Dr. Peter Brawn, founder of Biolux and inventor of the Light Accelerated Regeneration technology. “We expect that Tim will add significantly to our team, and that his extensive orthodontic experience will be invaluable in establishing our technology as a revolutionary approach to improving the quality of orthodontics and reducing treatment timelines.”
