WHO ARE WE

The Airway Institute is one of New Mexico’s only practices specializing in advanced treatments that address the ROOT CAUSE of many ‘common’ dental and airway problems. We have a plethora of modern tools in our tool box, which include:

• Vivos® Therapeutic Devices

  • Alternative to CPAP and braces

• MyoAligner® Orthotic Therapy

  • TMD (temporomandibular disorder) pain/clicking/popping & other problems

  • Physical therapy for the mouth

• Frenuloplasty

  • Tongue and lip tie releases

• NightLase® Laser Therapy

  • Snoring treatment, soft tissue toning

WHAT WE DO

We address the ROOT CAUSE through a functional approach. We do that by considering all aspects of a person’s structure, function and habits. We provide simple non-invasive, innovative and functional solutions for a functional problems like TMD, sleep and breathing disorders and much more. As an airway focused dental practice we can improve a person’s function by correcting malocclusion (crowded/crooked teeth), tongue posture and craniofacial underdevelopment. In this unique field of Craniofacial Sleep Medicine we are specially-trained and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team in order to address a person’s unique needs. We know that the leading cause of many ‘common’ health and dental problems are linked to a deficiency in the development of craniofacial anatomy. The goal of treatment is to correct the underlying anatomical deficiencies, using non-invasive, non-pharmacological and innovate treatment modalities.

WHO IS IT FOR

Our treatment is for EVERYONE. Unlike braces or surgery, our treatment is proven effective on children, adults and the elderly. Patients will begin with education to better understand their conditions, address their concerns and make an informed decision. We believe knowledge is the most powerful tool! We have made it our mission to empower and educate all those who seek answers. The best part, learning is free! We offer PEMs (Patient Education Meetings) to those seeking help.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

Unlike traditional dentistry, orthodontics, or general medicine, the Airway Institute specializes in the entire airway and addresses the overall health and wellness of the patient. We look at a variety of different diagnostic points and assess every aspect of the patient’s physiology. We are one of the only practices in New Mexico, and the only in southern New Mexico, that is integrated with Vivos® therapeutics as well as Myoaligners® and specializing in this type of advanced non-surgical intervention.

We are able to perform specific imaging of patient airway function, far beyond a traditional practice. Our facility is one of the most advanced in the state, offering treatment on the cutting edge of sleep apnea issues and airway wellness. Most importantly we provide solutions to your health problems rather than a band aid!
