Vivos System

One significant breakthrough for airway health has been the Vivos Treatment Protocol. This system offers an all-natural, non-invasive, and non-pharmaceutical solution to common disorders such as TMJ and sleep apnea. What’s more, it really works!

Our new approach to dentistry is demonstrated by our commitment to helping children (as young as three) and adults uncover potential whole-body health problems. Using the Vivos Treatment Protocol, we are able to guide you on your journey to easier breathing and improved health.

The Vivos System begins with a comprehensive evaluation and examination of your oral health and jaw development. This includes:

    • Filling out a questionnaire
    • Comprehensive head and neck exam using modern technology
    • At-home sleep test
 

A crucial part of your treatment is firstly diagnosing your sleep apnea and identifying the cause. Only then can we move forward and be confident that we are pursuing the ideal treatment method.

Once the initial evaluation is complete, your doctor will compile an Airway Intelligence Report. This report details the results of your exam, your airway measurements, and your treatment plan.

This information is then passed onto your Vivos trained dentist, Dr. Santana-Paine, at Bay Breeze Dentistry.

The Vivos System involves a multi-faceted approach. In addition to nutritional and sleep advice you will receive, you’ll be fitted for a specialty appliance.

The custom medical device fits comfortably into your mouth and is to be worn for 12-24 months. The oral appliance is worn in the evening, and while you sleep. Patients report positive effects within days!

Dr. Santana-Paine works closely with your primary physician to make adjustments and ensure long-term success.

Once your treatment is complete, it is very unlikely you’ll need any further intervention. You can just enjoy better sleep, more energy, and a real feeling of relief.
