Does the Vivos DNA Appliance Really Work via Epigenetics?

I was initially sceptical of Dr Singh’s claims that the Vivos DNA appliance uses mechano-transduction to trigger epigenetic processes which grow/remodel bone in the maxilla and mandible, leading to expanded jaws. After reviewing some science on bone remodelling, I believe it does involve epigenetics, but only to the degree that any biological growth process is directed by gene expression. (more…)
