Sleep Apnea Struggles?

The Problem May Not Be What You Think It Is....
Research reveals that nearly all cases of OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) are linked to how our mouths and jaws are shaped from a young age. Often, it's because the jaw hasn't grown fully.
Though it might just seem like a small issue about how we look, a jaw that hasn't developed right can actually lead to OSA. This is a big deal because OSA can cause serious and ongoing health problems.

Vivos Sleep Apnea Questions & Answers
What exactly is the Vivos treatment?
It’s a method using a special oral appliance worn for 12-16 hours, mostly at night, to naturally widen your mouth’s arches and open up your airway for better breathing and sleep. In some cases, Vivos has shown to resolve sleep apnea symptoms.
Can the Vivos treatment cure sleep apnea?
While “cure” is a strong word, Vivos aims to provide a long-term solution by addressing the structural causes of sleep apnea, potentially reducing or eliminating the need for further treatment.
Who is eligible for the Vivos treatment?
The Vivos treatment is suitable for individuals with mild, moderate, and, following recent FDA clearance, even severe sleep apnea.
Can children use the Vivos treatment?
Yes, Vivos can be effective for children with sleep apnea or breathing issues, helping to guide their dental and airway development early on.
How is Vivos different from CPAP or surgery?
Unlike CPAP, which requires nightly use indefinitely, or surgery, which can be invasive, Vivos is a more natural, non-invasive approach aiming for a permanent improvement in airway structure.
How long does the Vivos treatment take?
Typically, it lasts between 12 to 24 months, but the exact duration can vary depending on the individual’s situation.
How often do we wear the device?
For adults about 3-4 hours during the day and while sleeping overnight.
For children about 1-2 hours during the day and while sleeping overnight, these appliances work their magic. They’re like help with the natural growth and development of your child’s mouth, jaws, and airways. They do an incredible job of counteracting the negative impacts of modern life on their oral health. It’s all about promoting a healthy future!
