Our practice collaborates with Vivos® Therapeutics, Inc., a company that has developed breakthrough treatments for patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing conditions. The Vivos® DNA/mRNA appliance is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and utilizes an innovative technique for addressing breathing difficulties while sleeping.
What Is the Vivos® Oral Appliance?
This custom-designed oral appliance is made with the principles of Craniofacial Epigenetics and Pneumopedics® in mind. This approach enables the appliance to address the root cause of sleep apnea by essentially remodeling the airway and allowing for a more normal flow of air during sleep. The Vivos® System combines the oral appliance with a collaborative therapeutic protocol that involves a team effort by the dentist, the medical professionals who diagnosed the condition, and Vivos® technicians. Instead of just treating the symptoms of sleep apnea, Vivos® DNA/mRNA Appliance Therapy is designed to help patients affected by mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea reduce or even completely eliminate the possibility that they will need lifetime CPAP therapy or other treatments to resolve their concerns.
What Are the Benefits of Vivos® DNA/mRNA Appliance Therapy?
The Vivos® System offers a variety of benefits for patients who are ideal candidates for this treatment, including:
- The therapy does not require invasive surgery
- The appliance is customized for each patient and should be completely painless
- The airway is “remodeled” in order to provide long-term improved airflow through breathing passages while sleeping
- Snoring can be reduced or possibly even eliminated
- Many patients can enjoy a healthier night’s sleep and improved energy during the day
- For some patients, the therapy can be utilized for conditions such as TMJ Disorder and teeth grinding/clenching (bruxism)
What Is the Vivos® Treatment Like?
Once you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea by a physician and then meet with our dentist to talk about possible solutions, we can determine whether you are a good candidate for Vivos® DNA/mRNA Appliance Therapy. If this is the right option for your needs, we can begin developing the treatment plan in collaboration with your doctor and the team at Vivos®.
This multidisciplinary therapeutic approach, along with the development of your customized Vivos® DNA appliance, is designed to give patients the best possible chance of providing long-term relief from obstructive sleep apnea.
What Is the Cost of Vivos® Treatment?
The total cost of treatment with the Vivos® System is based on factors associated with each individual’s unique needs; therefore, the price is often different among patients. Once you have been evaluated and the customized treatment plan is developed, an estimate of the total cost can be provided. Our practice accepts a wide variety of payment options, including virtually all major credit cards and unique financing options available for qualified applicants. We can also talk more with you about whether insurance may cover a portion of this treatment.
