Introducing
The Vivos System
The single biggest breakthrough in the treatment of mild-to-moderate sleep apnea since CPAP.
The Vivos® System is a revolutionary appliance that has changed the lives of people with sleep apnea.It used to be true that a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was a life sentence. There were ways to manage it; but really, it felt more like your sleep apnea was managing you. Thanks to this incredible new technology, one simple appliance can handle the problem once and for all.
The Vivos appliance changes the shape of your jaw—without surgery or drugs—to eliminate the causes of obstructive sleep apnea. This simple appliance can improve your health in 12-24 months!
What's the Difference Between the Vivos System and a CPAP Machine?
Historically, the most effective treatment for sleep apnea was the CPAP machine, a nighttime appliance that you wear to bed. This appliance works by exerting continuous positive airway pressure into your airway while you sleep. It works, but most patients find the CPAP machine is too noisy or uncomfortable—and it only treats the symptoms of sleep apnea, not the causes.
The Vivos appliance is different because:
It's an oral appliance that you wear in your mouth
It's not a machine, so it doesn't make any noise
It's custom-fitted to your jaw, which makes it more comfortable
It will gradually change the shape of your upper or lower jaw to open your airway
The Vivos System is a nonsurgical oral appliance that helps people with mouth breathing, snoring, and sleep apnea in a safe and effective way.
Our simple sleep assessment tool will help you understand the risk factors and often overlooked symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea..

How does the Vivos® System work?
Diagnosis
Work with your healthcare team to arrive at an accurate diagnosis
Treatment Plan
Design a custom tailored treatment plan to target your individual condition
Healthy Sleep
Achieve optimal health and restorative sleep
The appliance looks like a retainer, but instead of keeping your teeth straight, it gradually reshapes your palate or jaw. There are two types of appliance:
The Daytime-Nighttime Appliance (DNA)
gently expands your palate in the roof of your mouth. This reshapes your jaw to increase the size of your airway, allowing you to breathe easily.
The mandibular Repositioning-Nighttime Appliance (mRNA)
repositions your lower jaw (your
mandible) by moving it forward to create more space for your airway.
At Breath of Life Dental, our experts will give you a thorough oral examination at your consultation. This examination will show whether you need the DNA appliance or the mRNA appliance for your jaw.
Your Treatment Experience
Your journey toward a lifetime of waking up refreshed—ready to take on life begins here.
A Potentially Serious Health Condition
Untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can impact every organ system in the body.
This may sound odd, but once you think about it for a moment, it does make sense why OSA is such a serious condition. Your body needs deep, restorative sleep in order to recover and maintain its health. When you have OSA, however, you cannot get that deep sleep because your body wakes up dozens of times per night so you can breathe. If you have ever pulled an all-nighter at school or work, or if you've ever been a new parent, then you understand how lack of sleep can affect your daily life. When it happens every single night, it starts to take its toll on your body. People with untreated OSA can develop serious problems such as:
- Heart attack or stroke
- Depression
- High blood pressure
- Hypertension
- Anxiety
That's what makes the Vivos DNA appliance and the mRNA appliance such game changers in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. These appliances can effectively cure OSA in people of all ages, giving you back your health and your life.
Understanding Sleep Apnea
It is important to discuss all your health concerns with your healthcare team to design the right treatment plan.
Treatment options to relieve symptoms.
There are a number of effective treatment options to relieve the visible symptoms and manage obstructive sleep apnea.
The Vivos System's DNA appliance and mRNA appliance are the only effective treatment options that require
no
surgery,
no
drugs, and
no
lifetime commitment.
Prior to the introduction of the Vivos® System, a diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea was a life sentence.
Although CPAP and mandibular advancement devices are effective at relieving the symptoms of OSA, patients are required to wear these devices every night for the rest of their lives or risk a myriad of potentially life-threatening conditions. The Vivos System, on the other hand, is a short-term treatment method that can get rid of your obstructive sleep apnea in as little as 12–24 months of proper use!
Over 14,000 Patients Treated
Over the past decade, over 14,000 patients have received treatment in the Vivos System. Each month a growing number of specially-trained dentists and physicians recommend the Vivos System to their patients. And each month, a growing number of patients complete their Vivos System treatment with a renewed sense of vitality and wellness that comes from deep restorative sleep.
