Vivos offers a multidisciplinary treatment protocol that uses nonsurgical, noninvasive, and cost-effective oral appliance technology prescribed by trained dentists and medical professionals to treat dentofacial anomalies and/or mild to moderate OSA. This revolutionary treatment is called the Vivos Method.

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea are usually told they need to have some sort of nightly intervention, such as a CPAP, every night for the rest of their lives. With the Vivos Method, patients often experience life-changing results without using CPAP or other interventions. Many times, these results are lasting.

Wearing Vivos oral appliances in the evening hours and overnight is comfortable, safe, and effective. Typically, certain symptoms begin to resolve within a few days, although completion of the full 12- to 24-month treatment cycle is essential to optimize results.*
