The Problem May Not Be What You Think It Is....
Research reveals that nearly all cases of OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) are linked to how our mouths and jaws are shaped from a young age. Often, it's because the jaw hasn't grown fully.
Though it might just seem like a small issue about how we look, a jaw that hasn't developed right can actually lead to OSA. This is a big deal because OSA can cause serious and ongoing health problems.

Snoring is not merely a loud and bothersome noise; it can serve as an important indicator of a Sleep Breathing Disorder (SBD) that should not be taken lightly. It is estimated that around 42 million Americans are affected by SBDs.
One of the most prevalent types of SBD is Obstructive Sleep Apnea, a medical condition in which the tongue and soft tissues obstruct the airway, preventing proper airflow into the lungs. Recognizing the potential seriousness of SBDs is crucial for prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Can sleep apnea be cured?
A sleep doctor would say that sleep apnea usually can’t be fully cured, especially for severe cases. It’s something people manage over time, not get rid of completely.
The Vivos treatment is a newer way to help with sleep apnea. It’s not like the CPAP machine that you use every night. Instead, Vivos works on changing the shape of your mouth and airway slowly. This can make your sleep apnea better or even go away for some people.
It’s a hopeful option for those looking for something other than nightly machines or surgery, offering a chance at long-lasting improvement.
Is sleep apnea treatment covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover sleep apnea treatment, including CPAP and oral appliances, but coverage can vary. Check with your provider.
