What we do

Procedures & Services

A complete spectrum of airway, breathing, and quality-of-life procedures — surgical, orthodontic, functional, and wellness — delivered as a coordinated treatment plan.

01

Surgical Airway

The structural procedures that resolve the cause of airway obstruction — performed by board-eligible oral and maxillofacial surgeons and a board-certified plastic surgeon working as a team.

Septoplasty
Functional Nasal Surgery

Septoplasty

Straightens a deviated nasal septum to restore unobstructed nasal airflow. The most common reason a person cannot breathe through their nose. Typically combined with turbinate reduction when both contribute.

Outpatient1 hour1 week recovery

Functional Rhinoplasty
Cosmetic + Functional Nasal

Functional Rhinoplasty

Reshaping of the external nose performed alongside septoplasty when the nasal architecture — valves, tip support, dorsal lines — contributes to obstructed airflow. Restores both function and proportion.

Outpatient2–3 hours2–3 weeks recovery

Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy
Throat & Upper Pharynx

Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy

Removal of enlarged tonsils and adenoids that obstruct the upper airway, particularly in children. Often the single most effective intervention for pediatric sleep apnea, snoring, recurrent infection, and chronic mouth breathing.

Outpatient30–60 minutes1–2 weeks recovery

Tongue & Lip Tie Release
Frenectomy / Frenuloplasty

Tongue & Lip Tie Release

Precise laser release of restrictive tongue and lip frenums — for infants, children, and adults. Performed in-office under appropriate sedation, paired with pre- and post-procedure myofunctional therapy for durable results.

In-office15–30 minutesSame day return

Orthognathic Surgery
Jaw Repositioning

Orthognathic Surgery

Surgical repositioning of the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both to open the airway, balance the bite, and restore facial proportion. Often the definitive intervention for severe sleep apnea in adults with skeletal causes.

Hospital procedure3–5 hours6–8 weeks recovery

Submental Liposuction
Neck & Chin Contouring

Submental Liposuction

Targeted reduction of submental fat (under the chin) to restore neck contour and reduce upper airway crowding from soft tissue. Particularly effective in combination with weight loss and other airway interventions.

Outpatient1 hour1 week recovery

02

Orthodontics & Functional Care

The non-surgical interventions that treat the cause of crooked teeth, mouth breathing, and tongue dysfunction — through palatal development, muscle retraining, and airway-focused orthodontics.

Palatal Expansion
Maxillary Skeletal Expansion

Palatal Expansion

Gradual widening of the upper jaw to enlarge the floor of the nose, open the airway, and create room for the tongue to rest properly. Most powerful in growing children. Surgically assisted versions available for adults.

Removable or fixed6–9 months activeLifelong benefit

Myofunctional Orthodontics
Cause-Based Orthodontics

Myofunctional Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment integrated with airway and muscle function. Designed to address the underlying cause of crooked teeth (tongue posture, swallowing, breathing) so the result lasts and the airway is not compromised.

All ages12–24 months typicalIncludes myofunctional therapy

Myofunctional Therapy
Orofacial Muscle Retraining

Myofunctional Therapy

Structured neuromuscular retraining of the tongue, lips, jaw, and breathing pattern. The connective tissue between every other airway intervention. Programs run 10–12 sessions over three to four months with brief daily home exercises.

All ages10–12 sessions<10 minutes daily home practice

Pediatric Airway Orthodontics
Phase I Treatment

Pediatric Airway Orthodontics

Early orthodontic intervention designed around airway support — not just cosmetic alignment. Coordinated with palatal expansion, myofunctional therapy, and any indicated surgical work.

Ages 6–10 typicalPhase I + Phase IIAirway-first design

Adult Clear Aligner Therapy
Invisible Orthodontics

Adult Clear Aligner Therapy

Comfortable, removable clear aligner therapy for adults. Designed within a comprehensive airway plan when relevant, so finishing alignment supports rather than compromises long-term breathing.

Adults12–18 months typicalRemovable

Retention & Long-Term Stability
Lifelong Orthodontic Care

Retention & Long-Term Stability

Most orthodontic relapse comes from untreated underlying muscle dysfunction. Our retention protocol pairs custom retainers with periodic myofunctional check-ins so the result lasts.

Sleep & Wellness

The diagnostic and metabolic care that supports every other intervention — sleep evaluation, weight optimization, nutrition, and the long-term follow-up that turns short-term progress into durable change.

Take-Home Sleep Studies
Home Sleep Apnea Test

Take-Home Sleep Studies

FDA-cleared, in-home sleep study performed in your own bed across one or more nights. Diagnostic for obstructive sleep apnea and many forms of sleep-disordered breathing. Read by board-certified sleep physicians.

At-home1–3 nightsResults in days

Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1
Semaglutide / Tirzepatide

Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1

Physician-supervised medical weight loss using GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, tirzepatide) when clinically indicated. Particularly effective when paired with airway and sleep treatment for patients with obesity-related sleep apnea.

RN-led, MD-supervisedWeekly injectionCoordinated with airway plan

Nutrition Counseling
Meal Planning & Habits

Nutrition Counseling

Practical, sustainable nutrition coaching designed around the patient's actual life. Built to support metabolic optimization, weight loss, post-surgical healing, and long-term airway and sleep outcomes.

Wellness IV Therapy
Hydration & Recovery

Wellness IV Therapy

Targeted IV hydration and micronutrient therapy for surgical recovery, immune support, energy, and post-procedure care. Administered by experienced clinical nursing staff in our office.

In-office30–45 minutesBy appointment

Long-Term Breathing Follow-Up
Coordinated Continuity

Long-Term Breathing Follow-Up

Airway disease is rarely a one-time fix. Our follow-up program checks in on breathing, sleep, weight, and orthodontic stability years after the initial work, with adjustments made as the body and life change.

Pre- & Post-Operative Care
Surgical Coordination

Pre- & Post-Operative Care

Coordinated medical, nutritional, and recovery support around any surgical procedure performed in the practice. Our nursing team manages everything from pre-op clearance to post-op follow-up.

Coordinated care

Most patients need several of these — not just one.

A consultation begins with mapping out which combination is right for you. Treatment is built around your goals, your schedule, and your stage of life.
