To Breathe Well is to Live Fully

The only FDA-cleared oral appliance alternative to CPAP for moderate to severe OSA.

No Masks. No Surgery. No Lifetime Treatment.

Rethinking Sleep Apnea Treatment.
Results That Last.

Most patients experience significant improvement in obstructive sleep apnea symptoms. Many patients see complete resolution of their OSA (AHI<5). Symptom relief often begins within days of the start of treatment, with full optimization for each patient in approximately 9 to 12 months (individual results vary). No masks. No surgery. Just relief that lasts.

Overview

Why Vivos is Different

Traditional approaches to OSA treatment (such as CPAP) attempt to manage symptoms over the life of the patient. In stark contrast, Vivos CARE devices are designed to rehabilitate and restore proper form and function to the airway, thereby dramatically reducing or eliminating the need for lifetime nightly intervention.

In children, Vivos treatment can help guide the proper growth and development of both jaws and teeth, which naturally result in helping children breathe through their nose and maintain an open airway during rest.

When we breathe better, our sleep architecture improves, and we typically sleep deeper. Deep sleep allows our body’s natural mechanisms to flush the toxins from our brain, reduce oxidative stress, and regulate hormones. Vivos treatment affects the foundational structures that support proper breathing, allowing the benefits of treatment to continue 24/7 and not simply when a CPAP device is turned on.

The Modern Standard: Comparing Treatment Pathways

  • Vivos: A non-surgical oral appliance used as part of a custom treatment plan.
  • CPAP: Uses continuous air pressure to force the airway open during sleep.
  • Oral Appliances: Manually repositions the jaw forward during sleep.
  • Surgery: Invasive surgical or implant-based procedures.
  • Vivos: Time-limited treatment. Typically completed within 9–12 months.
  • CPAP: Requires nightly use for the rest of your life to remain effective.
  • Oral Appliances: Requires nightly use for the rest of your life to remain effective.
  • Surgery: Varies significantly by the type of procedure performed.
  • Vivos: Outcomes vary by patient, but designed for lasting results after the treatment period.
  • CPAP: Benefits are only active while the machine is being used.
  • Oral Appliances: Benefits are only active while the appliance is being worn.
  • Surgery: Results and longevity vary greatly by patient and procedure type.
  • Vivos: FDA-cleared for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, including severe cases, in indicated patients.
  • CPAP: May be used for all levels of severity.
  • Oral Appliances: Typically limited to mild or moderate cases.
  • Surgery: May be considered depending on the severity and anatomy.
  • Vivos: May require prior authorization depending on your provider.
  • CPAP: Often covered by most insurance plans.
  • Oral Appliances: Often covered by most insurance plans.
  • Surgery: Coverage varies and often requires specific medical authorization.

The Problem and Solution

Machines Manage Symptoms While Vivos Targets Airway Health

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the airway narrows or becomes blocked during sleep, reducing airflow. Think of it like breathing through a pinched straw—your body must work harder to get the air it needs. Different treatment approaches are designed to support breathing during sleep.

CPAP machine in use

CPAP Therapy

Uses air pressure to help keep the airway open during sleep and is effective when used as prescribed. Consistent nightly use is important, and some patients may have difficulty tolerating therapy.

The Vivos Approach

A non-surgical, FDA-cleared oral appliance used as part of a treatment plan for obstructive sleep apnea. For appropriate patients, this time-limited approach is designed to support meaningful improvement and reduce reliance on nightly therapy.

The Hidden Dangers

Sleep Apnea Affects More Than Sleep

Obstructive sleep apnea is more than disrupted sleep. It has been associated with a range of other health conditions. Published research has identified links between obstructive sleep apnea and conditions affecting cardiovascular, metabolic, and cognitive health. Evaluation and treatment of sleep apnea should be guided by a qualified healthcare provider based on individual patient needs.
