What does the DNA Appliance and Homeoblock do for Adult Expansion and Facial Asymmetry

The Vivos DNA Looks Like a Retainer

The retainer-like device is worn at night for 9 to 18 months during a typical course of treatment. The medical technology owned by Vivos Therapeutics works by stimulating the jaw and facial profile to grow wider, taller and more forward. Usually treatment stops mouth breathing and snoring and TMJ pain. Many people who wake up with headaches and jaw pain will get relief from this treatment. The DNA is currently one of the most effective appliances for TMJ pain.

DNA Appliances vs Sleep Apnea Surgeries

Surgery for sleep apnea obviously caries more risk whereas the Vivos appliance addresses the root cause of upper airway problems. There are 3 very popular surgeries for sleep apnea:
Tongue advancement surgery. This procedure basically uses your lower jaw bone to lift your hyoid bone and tongue upwards. It does work, but no telling how long it will take for the tongue to break free
UPPP or UP3 apnea surgery
Soft palate pillar implants. polyvinyl rods that stiffen the soft palate to prevent collapse.
Try the DNA appliance first and you most likely will not need these. Also these surgeries often need to be repeated every 5-10 years and they do not fully address the real problem causing sleep apnea.
