How your jaws affect your health
Underdeveloped jaws and dental arches can have a profound effect on an individual’s oral and overall health. Such underdeveloped jaws are more common in our modern culture due to softer food in childhood and reduced breastfeeding time which diminish oral muscle development and impede full jaw formation.
When the jaw and arches do not fully develop, it causes inadequate space for teeth to emerge and ultimately causes crowded, crooked, or overlapping teeth which can create a host of oral problems such as accelerated tooth decay, gum disease resulting in tooth loss, mouth-breathing, jaw pain, neck pain, migraines, and much more.
It also may cause blockage of the airway by narrowing the nasal passages and the shifting of the jaw to the back. As a result, the tongue is unable to rest in its proper position and may fall back into the throat during sleep which inhibits oxygen intake, distruptdisrupt healthy sleep, and increases the risk of diseases.
how vivos dna appliance works?
DNA appliance is based on the concept of Pneumopedics®, which is a process of gradually and non-surgically increasing the volume of nasal airways by expanding the size of the upper jaw to correct maxillary hypoplasia (underdevelopment of the upper jaw). The 3D expansion increases the size and volume of the nasal passageways, mouth, and facial and ultimately helps patients cosmetically benefit from facial feature balancing. Vivos helps in:
- Expanding the Upper Jaw – The treatment focuses on expanding the upper jaw, which can often be too narrow in patients with sleep apnea. This expansion creates more space for the tongue and allows for better airflow during sleep.
- Promoting Jaw Development – Vivos treatment encourages proper jaw development in children and adults, which significantly reduces or eliminates sleep-disorder breathing.
- Long-Term Relief - Unlike CPAP therapy, which requires lifelong adherence, Vivos treatment typically lasts for 12 to 24 months. This means that once you complete the treatment, you can enjoy restful sleep without the need for ongoing interventions.
Small Mouth = No Space for Tongue, Poor Breathing & Posture
The DNA Appliance works by widening the upper arch and the nasal passage, allowing more airflow to pass through. As the upper arch is widened, the lower jaw enlarges and moves forward into a more natural position. As the lower jaw moves forward, it increases the size of the airway and dramatically improves the patient’s ability to breathe because the tongue and soft tissue move forward with the lower jaw movement.
Understanding mRNA Appliance
The mandibular Repositioning Nighttime Appliance (mRNA) is an oral device that provides combined maxilla-mandibular corrections while utilizing biomimetic principles. Worn at night, mRNA allows the body to reposition the mandible (lower jaw) for better breathing and redevelop the mid-face; it also helps to redevelop the upper airway by stimulating the upper jaw to grow and shifting teeth into a more natural position.
