Most Coloradans dealing with snoring and sleep issues head straight to a doctor or sleep clinic — but a Lakewood airway dentist says there's a better first call to make.
(PRUnderground) April 10th, 2026
Every year during Stop Snoring Week, millions of Americans are reminded to do something about their snoring — and most of them make the same move: they call their doctor, get referred to a sleep clinic, and brace themselves for a CPAP machine. Dr. Liz Turner at Untethered Airway Health Center in Lakewood wants Coloradans to know there’s another option they probably haven’t heard of yet.
Airway dentistry addresses the structural root causes of snoring and sleep-disordered breathing — the shape of the jaw, the position of the tongue, the development of the airway — through gentle, non-invasive dental treatments that don’t involve a mask, a machine, or a lifelong prescription. For many patients, these approaches resolve the same issues a CPAP is meant to manage, without the discomfort that leads most CPAP users to abandon the device within the first year.
“We see patients every week who spent years cycling through sleep studies and CPAP trials before someone finally pointed them toward airway dentistry,” said Dr. Liz Turner. “They didn’t know this existed. That’s the problem we’re trying to solve — not just for our patients, but for the whole community. If you snore, wake up exhausted, or have been told you stop breathing in your sleep, a dentist who specializes in airways should be one of your first calls, not your last resort.”
Untethered Airway Health Center serves patients of all ages — from infants with feeding and tongue tie concerns to adults navigating decades of poor sleep. The Lakewood practice takes a whole-body approach to airway health, working alongside physicians, myofunctional therapists, and other providers to address the issue at its source rather than masking the symptoms.
Stop Snoring Week runs April 21–27. To learn whether airway dentistry is right for you, visit untetheredairwayhealthcenter.com/lakewood or call (720) 783-5424. Untethered Airway Health Center is located at 3900 South Wadsworth Blvd, Suite 6, Lakewood, CO 80235.
