Vivos System for Sleep Apnea in Houston, TX

obstructed-airway_Ingenious-Dentistry

Obstructive sleep apnea is a surprisingly common complication that can result in serious consequences. People experience this when the tissue in their throat becomes too relaxed. As a result, the upper airway gets blocked, and the sufferer can stop breathing for several seconds or even minutes.

Some people will only experience this once or twice a night while others have trouble breathing dozens of times nightly. It can lead to serious health complications or even death if left untreated, and now, there is a convenient way to find relief with the Vivos dental process.

Numerous treatments exist for sleep apnea, and our Houston Dentist will sit down with you to determine which one is best for you. From sleep apnea oral devices to surgery, you have a lot to consider. However, one option you should definitely look into is the Vivos System.

What Is the Vivos System?

Vivos is a revolutionary new treatment for sleep apnea that utilizes a proprietary combination of oral appliances. It uses patented technology to restore and reopen the airways to allow you to breathe easier at night once again.

The Vivos System is a non-invasive, non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical, multidisciplinary treatment modality for mild to moderate OSA that does not require lifetime care for most patients. The proprietary and virtually painless Vivos System enhances and increases the upper airway and offers patients what is believed to be the first truly effective non-surgical, non-invasive, and potentially lasting solution is one of a few mild sleep apnea treatments that seek to keep you breathing easily through the night while remaining as unobtrusive as possible while in use.

This system is classified as an oral appliance, meaning it fits into the mouth much like a mouth guard worn by athletes and can be obtained by visiting a dentist that’s certified to offer this treatment.

While there are perhaps dozens of oral apparatuses to choose from that don’t involve a visit to the dentist, the Vivos System takes a unique approach and has much more to offer than your everyday supermarket mouth guard, such as:

  • Remodeling the entire dental arch
  • The reshaping of bone and the maxillofacial occlusion over time
  • Creation of a lasting space for airways to remain open
  • A custom-fit design that’s comfortable and doesn’t damage jaws or teeth

Over time, Vivos Therapeutics realign the interior of your mouth and your entire facial profile in order to prevent dropping in the back of the throat, opening the airways up for proper breathing during the night. Additionally, unlike other options you might have for combatting the effects of sleep apnea, this mouthguard is only temporary.

Once it has done the job of reforming the parts of the mouth that are causing the cessation of breath during sleep, the Vivos mouthpiece can be discarded. It’s the first permanent solution to sleep apnea, and it has been changing lives around the world. By taking a more direct approach to treating the causes of OSA rather than just bandaging the effects, this oral appliance brings real, long-lasting relief to those who have trouble breathing at night. In terms of effectiveness, Vivos is truly a breath of fresh air.

What Is the Vivos Process Like?

The treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive. You will first need to schedule a preliminary consultation at our office where our doctors are certified Vivos healthcare providers. In the event our doctors determine you are a good candidate for Vivos, then they will begin the process of making your customized appliance.

This will entail utilizing advanced scanning technology to find precise measurements. This ensures your appliance fits perfectly. From here, our doctor will design a detailed treatment plan that will track the milestones throughout your journey. The appliance you use addresses the underlying problem of obstructive sleep apnea by allowing the jaw to get into the proper position during sleep.

You will then be able to take your appliance home and wear it at night while you sleep. You need to use the appliance exactly as directed to achieve the desired results. It is completely comfortable to wear and practically invisible, so it will not bother you as you slumber.

You will need to meet with us periodically to track your progress. Along the journey, our doctor may suggest adjustments to make to your plan. This is only to ensure you get to enjoy renewed vitality and enhanced health once it is all over.

Is Vivos Right for me?

Many people, especially those who sleep alone, are completely unaware they suffer from sleep apnea. While our dentists will ultimately determine whether Vivos is right for you, there are some signs you need to pay us a visit for a consultation. If you experience the following symptoms, then you likely suffer from sleep apnea.

  • Gasping episodes while you try to sleep
  • Chronic snoring at night
  • Headaches in the morning
  • Daytime drowsiness

If obstructive sleep apnea remains untreated for long enough, then you may begin to suffer from more serious health problems. Unexplained weight gain, chronic pain, and constant mood swings are additional signs an individual has sleep apnea.

What Are the Benefits of Vivos?

Many people can finally find relief from obstructive sleep apnea thanks to Vivos. It is a completely natural process that does not require drugs or surgery. Minimal discomfort is involved, so people who are ordinarily scared or anxious to visit the doctor’s office will have no reason to fear to come in.

One of the biggest advantages patients enjoy is the preventive side of the treatment. As long as you get Vivos early enough, you can prevent many of the more serious health complications that come up with sleep apnea. Untreated sleep apnea dramatically increases your risk of developing cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and many other dangerous health problems.

Treatment is reasonably priced. You should contact your health insurance provider to see if the treatment is covered because in many cases, it will be. You can use the latest technology to improve your health without spending a fortune.

Has the Vivos System Been Proven to Work?

The Vivos dental process has undergone a lot of clinical research around the country, and it is widely regarded by many doctors to be the best way to alleviate sleep apnea. There are hundreds of Vivos providers around the United States, and since so many clinicians trust it, you can trust it, too.
