*An airway dentist™ specializes in understanding and treating dental issues related to the airway and breathing. They focus on how the oral and facial structures influence airway function, particularly in relation to conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep-disordered breathing issues.
These dentists often work to create treatment plans that may include oral appliances, which help keep the airway open during sleep, as well as strategies to improve overall oral health and function. They may also collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as sleep specialists and physicians, to provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing airway-related problems.

Hiring Lauren and Dr. Miraglia was one of the smartest things I have done in my career.
Airway driven orthodontic expansion is the most important clinical addition ever to my practice
Dr. Frank Graziano, NY
Amazing information on treating and diagnosing airway issues. Not only will your clear aligner technique improve but you will be helping your patients airway issues and TMD problems at the same time.
Please don’t think twice about this.
Dr. Linda-Jones Laper, MD
I had Lauren come to Baltimore to work with my assistant and hygienist. This is the perfect follow up to the mini residency.
It really takes every thing full circle with every one on board talking the same language (which she helps with a lot!)
Thanks Lauren for spending a delightful day with us.
