As an OSA patient, you may be facing a lifetime of nightly CPAP or oral appliance use.
Vivos offers new hope.
Noninvasive procedure
Highly effective
Limited treatment time
Unlike virtually every other nonsurgical treatment for OSA which require nightly lifetime intervention, studies show that patients undergoing treatment with Vivos doctors have an average treatment time of about 12 months.
Our treatment employs a multidisciplinary treatment plan that uses noninvasive, cost-effective oral appliance technology prescribed by trained dentists and medical professionals to treat dentofacial abnormalities and/or mild-to-moderate OSA and snoring. This revolutionary treatment is called The Vivos Method.
Your breathing and sleep challenges may not be what you think.
Studies have shown that in up to 98 percent of patients with OSA, the sleep disorder is caused by abnormal anatomical features—most notably, an underdeveloped mouth and 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.
Better Breathing,
Deeper Sleep
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.
Just take a look at this example of an adult male patient’s airway before and after Vivos treatment.
Individual results may vary.

Let’s break it down.
A Developmental Approach to OSA and Human Health
Where it may begin . . ..
Underdeveloped Mouth and Jaws
- Underdeveloped
upper jaw - Underdeveloped
lower jaw - Nasal dysfunction and structural anomalies
- Tongue-tie
Which may often lead to . . .
Nasal and Dental Abnormalities
- Narrow palatal
dental arch - Crowded/crooked teeth
- Teeth grinding
- Crossbite
- TMJ dysfunction
- Bony growths
in oral cavity - Nasal resistance
and obstruction - Swollen tonsils/adenoids
- Dry mouth
- Improper tongue position
Which may often result in . . .
Breathing and Sleep Disorders
- Mouth breathing
- Obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA) - Upper airway
resistance syndrome
Which may often lead to . . .
Many Debilitating and Chronic Comorbities
such as the following:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Hypertension
- Fibromyalgia
- Bedwetting
- ADD/ADHD
- Excessive drowsiness
- Stroke
- Diabetes
- Pain
- Cancer
- Depression
- Anxiety
Chronic health conditions associated with OSA may ultimately be traced back to improper development of the jaws and oral cavity.
