The Vivos mRNA Appliance Tipped My Teeth and Didn’t Improve My Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Following on from the mid-treatment CBCT scan showing that my Vivos mRNA appliance was tipping my teeth, I’ve decided to stop using it altogether after a sleep study showed that 20.5 months use has had no effect on my severe obstructive sleep apnea. I had the sleep study in June specifically to see what permanent impact the appliance has had on my airway during sleep. The polysomnograph was conducted untreated with neither Vivos mRNA Appliance nor CPAP in use so I could compare against my previous untreated sleep study.

The results were disappointing, to say the least.

I also had nasal surgery to improve my daytime breathing and have been recovering from that.
