Vivos System
Say “Goodbye” to Restless Nights and Pain
Chronic pain from sleep and temporomandibular (TMJ) disorder is hard to manage.
Traditional medicine or surgery can be an option, but they’re often invasive and can cause you to rely on over-the-counter or prescribed drugs. Other solutions include bulky masks and hoses that can be uncomfortable and inconvenient.
But – we have a solution for you.
The Vivos System is the first FDA-cleared oral appliance clinically proven to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and symptoms caused by TMJ disorder, including:
- Jaw pain
- Frequent headaches
- Snoring
- Neck and facial pain
- Gasping for air in the middle of the night
- Inability to concentrate or focus
- Daytime fatigue
Imagine waking up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to embrace the day ahead with energy and vitality. The Vivos System is designed to help you achieve just that by addressing the root causes of obstructed airways and disrupted sleep patterns.
It is all-natural, non-invasive, and non-pharmaceutical, which means you can sleep soundly and live pain-free without undergoing traditional medicine methods.

How Does the Vivos System Work?
STEP 1: In-Depth Evaluation
Our journey together begins with a thorough and personalized evaluation. Our dentist and airway specialist, Dr. Carmen Santana-Paine, will assess your airway and facial structure using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, such as X-rays and scans. This critical step allows her to understand your unique needs and create a tailored treatment plan for you.
STEP 2: Airway Intelligence Report
Once the initial evaluation is complete, Dr. Santana-Paine will compile an Airway Intelligence Report—a comprehensive document detailing the results of your exam, precise airway measurements, and your personalized treatment plan. As a Vivos-trained dentist, Dr. Santana-Paine will skillfully utilize the insights to ensure the precise fitting and adjustments of your custom-made Vivos appliance.
STEP 3: Customized Oral Appliance
With your evaluation complete, we move on to crafting a custom-made Vivos appliance designed exclusively for you. This oral appliance is a key component of the Vivos System. It is engineered to fit comfortably into your mouth, gently aiding in the expansion and alignment of your jaws, thereby enhancing your airway size.
As a key component of the Vivos System, this oral appliance sets the stage for transformative results. Patients often experience positive effects within days of starting the Vivos System. The benefits are tangible and empowering, inspiring you to embrace each day with renewed energy and vitality.
STEP 4: Gradual Adjustment
As you start wearing your Vivos appliance during sleep, you’ll experience a gradual and gentle adjustment process. The device encourages natural craniofacial growth, allowing your airway to open up and reducing obstructions that may cause breathing difficulties and disruptions in your sleep.
Throughout your treatment journey, Dr. Santana-Paine will work closely with your primary physician. This collaborative effort ensures seamless adjustments and comprehensive care, guaranteeing that you receive the support you need for lasting improvements in your airway and overall well-being.
STEP 5: Monitoring Progress
Throughout your treatment, we’ll be right beside you, closely monitoring your progress. Regular follow-up visits allow us to make any necessary adjustments to ensure the Vivos System continues to work optimally for your specific needs.
STEP 6: Empowering Natural Healing
By promoting the natural development of your craniofacial structures, the Vivos System empowers your body to heal and optimize its airway function. As your airway opens and your sleep improves, you’ll experience the transformative benefits of better breathing and more restful nights.
