Sleep and Breathe Better with the Vivos System


Vivos System

We’ve added an exciting new service to our dental practice - the Vivos System. This treatment approach helps address the root cause of sleep-disordered breathing, caused by conditions like sleep apnea, TMD, bruxism, and chronic headaches. Vivos doesn't just manage symptoms – it targets their deeper cause through gentle craniofacial corrections.

Understanding Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Before discussing the Vivos System, it's important to understand that many common health issues are connected to breathing problems:

  • Sleep apnea and snoring
  • Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD)
  • Chronic headaches
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Daytime fatigue
  • Attention difficulties
  • Mood disorders

The Vivos Difference

Unlike traditional treatments that only manage symptoms, the Vivos System works to address the root cause of these issues by:

  • Promoting natural development of the airway
  • Enhancing jaw position and oral structure
  • Improving breathing capacity
  • Creating lasting changes in craniofacial structure
  • Potentially eliminating the need for lifetime CPAP use

How the Vivos System Works

The treatment utilizes custom-designed oral appliances that work to:

  1. Gently remodel the oral cavity
  2. Expand the airway
  3. Optimize breathing patterns
  4. Improve sleep quality
  5. Enhance overall health
