Vivos Treatment for Sleep Apnea

Posted by danye1 @danye1, Jan 30 8:26pm

Has anyone here been treated for OSA with the Vivos appliance? I'm about to get started and would like to hear of others' experiences. Thanks!

Hello @danye1, The Vivos appliance certainly does sound promising from this announcement I read.
-- FDA Clears Vivos CARE Appliance for Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea: https://www.neurologylive.com/view/fda-clears-vivos-care-appliance-severe-obstructive-sleep-apnea.

I did a search but wasn't able to find anyone else who has used the treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It would be great if you can keep us updated with how the treatment is going once you get started. When are you starting the treatment? Do you know what the cost is or if it is covered by insurance?

I have begun treatment. Waiting on my appliance to be manufactured. No insurance coverage as far as I know. Quite expensive: $15K for a year of treatment, including myofacial therapy. I will send updates. My AHI is 15-17 with no central apneas.
