These common symptoms associated with Obstructive Sleep Apnea can have a negative impact on your day-to-day life as well as your long-term health. Besides robbing you of a good night's sleep, OSA can lead to weight gain, behavioral changes, and put you at risk for other major health problems.

Oral appliances for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring are designed to hold the lower jaw in a forward, slightly open position to open up the airway and allow better breathing during sleep. Thousands of people have been helped by these well-researched appliances. Their small size, comfort, and easy maintenance make them a popular option.
The Vivos Method is a breakthrough, non-surgical solution that helps reduce snoring and improve sleep by addressing the root cause of airway obstruction. Using a customized, FDA-cleared oral appliance, Vivos naturally enhances the airway by guiding the growth and positioning of the jaws and surrounding structures. As the airway expands, the soft tissues that collapse during sleep are reduced, helping you breathe easier and rest more deeply.





Treatment is gentle, comfortable, and requires no downtime. Most patients wear their Vivos appliance at home each night, and many begin noticing improvements in sleep and daytime energy within the first few months. With consistent use, the Vivos Method can lead to lasting changes that help you sleep soundly through the night.

Improved sleep.
People with sleep apnea can stop breathing up to 90 times an hour, leaving them feeling tired and groggy in the morning. With treatment, you can sleep through the night and wake up feeling more refreshed.

Fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression.
The risk of mental illnesses like depression and anxiety increases in correlation with the increase in sleep disturbances. Sleep apnea treatment may help improve anxiety and depression or reduce the risk of developing it.

Reduced risk of developing cancer.
Individuals with untreated obstructive sleep apnea have a higher risk of various types of cancer. With sleep apnea treatment, however, that risk can be lowered.

Reduced mortality rate.
Sleep apnea has been shown to increase a person’s mortality rate by up to three times the average, for any cause of death, including heart attacks and stroke. Treatment lowers this risk and helps individuals live longer with a better quality of life.

Improved blood pressure.
Many individuals with sleep apnea also have untreated hypertension, which can go on to cause serious health problems if not addressed. Treating sleep apnea can, by proxy, treat hypertension by reducing blood pressure during sleep.

Many people who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) go years without being diagnosed, which puts them at risk for heart attack, stroke, or even death. They may be unaware that they can be treated by an OSA specialist who offers non-surgical solutions for treating sleep apnea. He has helped countless patients gain relief from their symptoms through the use of an oral appliance. Patients needing either of these devices will use it at night to keep their airway open. Since both are custom-made, no matter which treatment your doctor recommends, the patient is sure to feel comfortable. Say good-bye to interrupted sleep and groggy days and gain back your health and well-being.
