Tired of
being tired?
Your sleep is unpredictable because nothing you’ve tried treats the root cause.
Wear the mouthguard.
Wear the mask.
Take the pill.
Every one of them manages the symptom.
None of them change the constricted airway.
One airway.Two very different nights.
Poor sleep starts with a constricted airway. Convergent treats that root cause of poor sleep through a non-invasive procedure that helps your airway hold its shape, so breathing works the way it’s supposed to.

How Our Non-Invasive
Treatment Works
Built for people who care about their own health and are ready to do something about it.
Results begin immediately and build over time. After several treatments, you're done. But we'll give you a complete plan for improving your sleep, breathing and overall health. Most patients return just once a year for a brief checkup visit, the way you'd see a dentist for a cleaning.
Step01
Meet & Learn
Before anything else, we explain what's actually happening. Why a restricted airway affects more than your sleep, and how your body's been compensating without you knowing it. This is the start of an ongoing relationship with a group of providers who want to get to know you.
Step02
Scan & See
A quick scan measures exactly what's happening in your airway, including where it narrows and why. Our team will walk you through what they're seeing and what it means, and the personalized treatment plan it will inform.
Step03
Sit & Treat
You sit in a comfortable chair just like a dental visit, no gown or anesthesia. Our clinician directs a laser at the soft tissue in the back of your throat. Nothing actually goes down your throat. The tissue reacts with the light, tightening and gently widening. Most patients feel warmth for a few minutes and report zero pain.
Step04
Go & Live
No sedation means no one else needs to pick you up, you leave the same way you arrived. You're back to your day immediately with no restrictions or downtime.

Questions, answered.
No. Nothing goes down your throat and there are no incisions. Our clinician directs a low-level laser at the soft tissue at the back of your throat, stimulating it to tighten and gently widen over time. No gown, no prep room, no anesthesia.
Most patients describe a few minutes of warmth, not pain. You sit in a chair in street clothes — and when your visit is over, you drive yourself home.
Results build over about five visits across one to two months. After that, you're done. Most patients return just once a year for a brief checkup, the way you'd see a dentist for a cleaning.
Yes. Keep whatever is helping you sleep now. As your airway responds, your care team will tell you when it makes sense to scale back.
One team, in one place: sleep medicine, dentistry, ENT and functional medicine, all reading the same airway. One plan, one price — no referral maze.
Coverage varies by plan. Bring your questions to the consultation and we'll walk through your options and costs before anything begins.
