We're Drs. Meggie & Liz, Untethered's FOUNDERs.
And then everything clicked. The connection between tongue ties and infant feeding. The link between mouth breathing and child development. The relationship between airways and adult sleep problems. Every piece of the puzzle fell into place.
Through working with our own family members, I saw transformations that changed lives.
Now we spend our days helping other families find the same relief we did, treating everything from infant feeding issues to adult sleep problems through comprehensive airway care.
At the same time, we were dealing with our own unexplained health issues: poor sleep, chronic fatigue, and breathing difficulties.
We didn't start out as airway specialists. We were general dentists watching our infants struggle to feed, experiencing the anxiety every parent feels when something isn't right. Even with our dental training, we didn't have the answers.
Our story began at home, not dental school - with our own children's feeding struggles and our personal battles with breathing problems.

IT ALL BEGAN WITH OUR OWN FAMILIES

Yes! While our office is located in Lakewood, we regularly treat families from throughout Jefferson County, Denver, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, and surrounding Colorado communities. Many families travel to see us because specialized airway care can be difficult to find locally.
Do you see patients from across the Denver metro area?
