Vivos Appliances for Airway Health & Sleep Wellness
What is Vivos?
The Vivos System is a revolutionary treatment protocol designed to address the root cause of many breathing and sleep-related disorders — underdeveloped jaws and restricted airways. This non-surgical, non-invasive solution uses custom-designed oral appliances to gently guide jaw and airway development, improving airflow, sleep quality, and overall health.
Vivos treatment is particularly effective in addressing issues such as:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
- Snoring
- Mouth breathing
- TMJ disorders
- Underdeveloped jaws in children and adults
Types of Vivos Appliances
Each Vivos appliance is custom-fabricated based on your unique anatomy, airway scans, and sleep study results. Here are the main types:
1. DNA Appliance® (Daytime-Nighttime Appliance)
- Purpose: Promotes natural jaw and airway development by stimulating bone growth.
- Worn: Typically worn at night (and sometimes a few hours during the day).
- Best for: Adults with mild to moderate sleep apnea, TMJ dysfunction, or underdeveloped jaws.
2. mRNA Appliance® (Mandibular Repositioning Nighttime Appliance)
- Purpose: Gently repositions the lower jaw while promoting upper airway expansion.
- Worn: Nighttime use.
- Best for: Adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea or significant jaw misalignment.
3. Vivos Guides® (for children)
- Purpose: Guides facial and jaw development in children to prevent future airway issues.
- Worn: Usually at night and sometimes during the day.
- Best for: Children with crowded teeth, mouth breathing, bedwetting, or behavioral issues linked to poor sleep.
Who Can Benefit from Vivos?
The Vivos System is designed to help both adults and children suffering from conditions related to poor airway development. You may be a candidate if you or your child experience:
- Loud snoring or gasping during sleep
- Daytime sleepiness or fatigue
