What is Vivos Therapeutics?

Studies have shown that in up to 98% of patients with OSA, the sleep disorder is caused by abnormal anatomical features- most notably, an underdeveloped jaw. While an underdeveloped jaw may seem like an inconsequential cosmetic issue, the truth is that it could be the root cause of OSA, a serious sleep disorder that is associated with a number of chronic, life-threatening health concerns. 

 

Improper development of the jaws and oral cavity can lead to an undersized airway where the tongue is more prone to fall into the back of the throat, causing the airway to collapse—especially at night. By reshaping and expanding the oral cavity, your airway may also expand, allowing you to both breathe and sleep more deeply.

What is the procedure?

Unlike virtually every other nonsurgical treatment for OSA which requires nightly lifetime intervention, most patients undergoing treatment with Vivos Therapeutics have an average treatment time of 18 months. Our treatment employs a multidisciplinary protocol that uses noninvasive, cost-effective oral appliance technology prescribed by Dr. Plummer to treat dentofacial abnormalities and/or mild-to-moderate OSA and snoring.

What are the benefits?

The Vivos system is non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical, which means it is an extremely low-risk treatment. You may begin to notice results within the first few days or weeks of treatment.  Vivos permanently addresses one of the main causes of OSA. After completing the Vivos protocol, many patients no longer require any type of OSA treatment!
