How the Vivos System Works

Vivos system offers nonsurgical treatment using an appliance called DNA appliance from Vivos.


The DNA appliance resembles a retainer; however, it's actually a custom-fitted device designed to subtly alter the shape and position of your hard palate and lower jaw similar to how braces alter them over time. As your palate widens and your jaw shifts forward over time, more airway space will open up for easier breathing at night as a result of which you will relieve obstructive sleep apnea, snoring or TMJ dysfunction symptoms.


Your treatment will typically last between 12-24 months with you wearing the Vivos DNA appliance for 12-24 months before no longer needing it.

Outcome from Vivos Therapeutics

Vivos Oral Appliance therapy was recently demonstrated in an empirical patient study, with its effectiveness revealed:


  • Nearly 97% of Vivos patients surveyed saw positive treatment results for their OSA symptoms, such as significant improvements. Nearly two-thirds relied on dentists to effectively address the source of their OSA issues.
  • Nearly one-third of those surveyed desired non-invasive solutions as a replacement to traditional OSA treatment.


Dr. Rubi Marconi, founder of Marconi Dental Aesthetics, was motivated by such results to become a Vivos oral appliance provider.

FAQ's

  • What is the Vivos Oral Appliance?

    Answer: The Vivos Oral Appliance, more commonly referred to as the Daytime-Nighttime Appliance (DNA), is a non-invasive treatment device for treating sleep-disordered breathing conditions like obstructive sleep apnea, snoring and TMJ dysfunction. It works by gently altering the shape and position of hard palate and lower jaw to optimize airflow during restful slumber.

  • How does the Vivos System differ from CPAP machines?

    Answer: Vivos System differs from Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machines in that it addresses structural causes for sleep apnea rather than simply providing temporary symptomatic relief through continuous airflow. With its more comfortable, noise-free solution that seeks permanent improvements in airway structure, Vivos offers permanent solutions.

  • Who is eligible for the Vivos Treatment?

    Answer:  Vivos Treatment may help those experiencing obstructive sleep apnea, chronic snoring and TMJ dysfunction; however, eligibility for treatment depends on an individual assessment conducted by Dr. Marconi to ascertain whether Vivos is indeed suitable. An appointment must be scheduled to determine this.

  • How long does the Vivos Treatment take?

    Answer: Vivos Treatment typically lasts anywhere from 12-24 months, depending on an individual's specific needs and severity of their condition. Each day during treatment, they wear their custom-fitted Vivos appliance for a set period.
