How Does Vivos’ DNA Device Work? How DNA and Homeoblock Appliances Get Adult Palatal Expansion and Facial Symmetry
The Vivos device works by stimulating bone growth in the mouth, facial structures and nasal passageways. It has been referred to as a biomimetic device because it stimulates facial bone to start growing again. This is a specific example of epigenetics. The DNA results in new growth of the upper airway and the upper and lower jaws. The therapy grows the upper airway size and balances the jaw structures in a more open and forward position. Night time airway obstructions can be prevented (such as the tongue falling back into the throat). Breathing patterns during sleep can normalize such as more nasal breathing and less mouth breathing. With more room in the mouth the tongue fits better in the mouth. With forward growth of the jaw, the tongue postures and lives further away from the the throat and airway. Vivos therapy allows the bite to be optimized for better biomechanical and neuromuscular function.
But how specifically do adult anterior growth appliances such as the Vivos DNA device and the Homoeoblock work. How does the growth happen and what happens to all the other cranial bones such as the zygoma, sphenoid, frontal, temporal and occipital bones. All the bones in the head fit together like a puzzle, so there must be changes during expansion of the maxilla. And how does the mandible change. And what happens to the bite and the upper and lower teeth relationships?
In this video Dr Adams goes over how all the bones can grow and become more balanced if the proper techniques are used during treatment with the DNA and Homeoblock appliances.
DNA Appliance Grows the Upper Airway
Vivos DNA appliance therapy promotes growth of the airway and improves balance to the bite and jaw structures. The result is a less obstructed airway, better night-time nasal breathing patterns and improvements in jaw tension and teeth clenching symptoms. And yes, you can retire the graveyard of dental appliances and CPAP. You will not need them anymore.
Causes of Sleep Apnea and TMJ Pain:
Airway obstruction and poor breathing patterns during sleep.
Bite imbalance and teeth clenching during the day and night.
Small mouth, large tongue, poor tongue posture and function (such as a thrust or tie) and large tonsils.
Stress, weight gain and eating too many soft foods during childhood.
Mouth breathing instead of nasal breathing
How Does DNA Therapy Progress?
The removable appliance is only worn at night and taken out during productive daytime hours
light pressure compared to braces and never orthodontic pain
easy adjustments made at home approximately every 2 weeks for adults
evaluations and adjustments by Dr. Adams approximately every 3 months
treatment usually takes 12-18 months on the average
1-2 months in a retainer and treatment is complete.
Throw the appliances away. No need to wear an appliance anymore. Your condition should be corrected.
The Vivos Device is Unique because it Works for Adults.
There many options for kids expanders and anterior growth appliances. Learn more about holistic orthodontics and how Dr. Adams treats children. Very few appliances work for adult forward growth and airway development. It is never a good idea to pull teeth for braces. It is best to promote growth in jaw structures, so all teeth have space fit properly into the mouth. The Vivos is the best orthopedic therapy to resolve conditions related to extraction and retraction orthodontics.
How Does the Homeoblock Appliance Compare to the DNA?
They are basically the same appliance except for the spring used is a little different. The Homeoblock appliance works for adults and can be designed to do the same thing as the DNA. Dr. Belfor invented the Homeoblock and he used to work with Dr. Singh (inventor of the DNA). There is more research to back up the DNA, but Dr. Adams believes the appliances do the same thing. The Homeblock is not FDA cleared.
