VIVOS THERAPEUTICS

The Vivos Method

This proprietary treatment modality uses clinically effective oral appliance technology to treat dentofacial abnormalities and/or mild-to-moderate OSA and snoring in adults.

Are you frustrated by treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) using outdated technology that doesn’t address the root cause of the problem and requires lifetime intervention? Sadly, up until now, that’s been the only option. Dr. Melissa Rosello was tired of treating OSA symptoms with mandibular advancement devices (MAD) and decided to explore “a truly unique and effective way to address the root cause of OSA” in her adult patients. Fortunately, she discovered Vivos appliances, which are part of The Vivos Method, which she calls “a multidisciplinary solution” to OSA that has “completely transformed my practice.”

According to Dr. Rosello, “Vivos offers not just another ‘me-too’ oral appliance treatment for OSA. In my experience, it truly addresses patients’ dentofacial and developmental deficiencies, which are known to contribute to OSA and many other health issues.” Using individualized treatment plans that often include proprietary oral appliances and adjunctive therapy, the Vivos technology “appears to promote additional growth and development of the jaws and oral cavities in children and adults, allowing space for the full dentition as well as appropriate functional airway space,” Dr. Rosello explained. “This process may alleviate problems such as OSA in adults and many health conditions which are exacerbated by OSA,” she added. “I have seen phenomenal results with this system improving mild and moderate sleep apnea in my patients.”

For Dr. Rosello and many other dentists who have adopted The Vivos Method, this innovative solution is changing their approach to dentistry while improving the lives of their patients.

What is The Vivos Method?

Prescribed by trained dentists and medical professionals, The Vivos Method is a multidisciplinary treatment modality that incorporates nonsurgical, noninvasive, and clinically effective oral appliance technology to treat dentofacial abnormalities and/or mild-tomoderate OSA and snoring in adults. Simply put, “The Vivos Method works in a way that the trickle-down effect results in larger airways, more tongue space, and therefore, potentially more respiratory airflow and oxygen,” explained Dr. Martin Gorman. Hoping “to improve patients’ health through a better airway and jaw position,” Dr. Todd Auerbach likes Vivos’ “all-inclusive systematic approach” to training and support, patient education, appliance design and fabrication, and clinical mentoring.

Dr. Amy Dayries describes The Vivos Method as “a multifaceted approach to care that addresses the underdeveloped jaw and oral cavity structures of the patient.” She said this technology “restores proper form and function to the jaws and airway, and I’m seeing my patients become healthier as a result.” Dr. Martha Cortes called Vivos “a noninvasive and nonsurgical method accomplished with ease,” and Dr. Terrie Cribbs said it allows “nonsurgical expansion of the maxilla and repositioning of the mandible in adults.”

“I have seen phenomenal results with this system improving mild and moderate sleep apnea in my patients.”

Training & Support from Vivos

The Vivos team facilitates the onboarding process with each dental practice and provides “clinical and practice support and ongoing training to take your practice to any level,” said Dr. Shwetha Rodrigues. “It is the only comprehensive training program that starts with didactic learning and follows you back to the office with clinical and practice support,” Dr. Kristin Tigani-Taylor described. “I am very pleased with the completeness of The Vivos Method,” including the training, reported Dr. Auerbach.

Patient & Practice Benefits

Patients treated with The Vivos Method “are absolutely thrilled” to need less sleep, feel more well rested, and sometimes no longer need CPAP or MAD appliances, shared Dr. Rosello, who said she has had “so many amazing clinical outcomes it’s hard to list just a few.” Dr. Dayries described patients who no longer suffer from regular headaches, have lower blood pressure, sleep better, and do not need a CPAP.

“Patients are appreciative that we educate them on their health and are able to offer solutions that are nonsurgical and nonpharmaceutical,” said Dr. Rodrigues. Dr. Kathleen Carson shared, “Helping our patients live and breathe better is very rewarding and has allowed our team to develop deeper relationships with patients.”

“Not only is The Vivos Method helpful to my patients, but it increases the overall profit for my business,” shared Dr. Rosello. Dr. Dayries called it “a wonderful practice builder that saves lives,” and Dr. Dean Raio said he has treated hundreds of patients with this “easy to use, organized, and successful method.” Noting that she always sees improvement if patients comply with treatment, Dr. TerryLynn Tennant called The Vivos Method “a professional and financial success that truly enhances lives!”

Overall Satisfaction

Since screening every patient for dentofacial abnormalities and/or mild-to-moderate OSA, Dr. Cribbs has discovered many patients who need immediate treatment. “This is a paradigm shift in my philosophy. Vivos is of huge value to my patients as well as my practice profitability. The Vivos Method is a complete win-win for me.”
