      Distar L.L.C began in 1987 under the name Dental Sleep Disorder Prevention ( DSDP ), and was incorporated in December 1991, in June of 1994 the name was changed to DistarDr. Thomas E. Meade, inventor of the TheraSnore family of appliances began to research the connection between dentistry, snoring, and sleep apnea in the mid-1980's. While running a successful dental practice in in Albuquerque NM, Dr. Meade continued his research to innovate the dental sleep field. Dr. Meade's wife, Caroline Meade acted as CEO of Distar and began the business it is today.

Now doctors had two versions of TheraSnore appliances to offer their patients. The Adjustable TheraSnore now accounts for 90% of Distar's sales. To handle the increased business, Rick Mondick, Distar's Marketing Manager was brought on to promote safer sleep with the Adjustable TheraSnore all over the world. By 2001 Mr. Mondick took over as CEO of Distar, growing the company by signing new distributors and increasing sales domestically.
