This is how to adjust your Vivos DNA appliance during appliance therapy. The DNA appliance is an adult expansion appliance made by vivoslife.com. The appliance is used to treat TMJ problems, sleep apnea and generally is an adult Anterior Growth appliance. These instructions are general instructions on how to adjust your DNA appliance. For specific instructions you should consult your doctor or Dr. Adams if he is you’re treating dentist.
The biggest mistake I find is people adjusting the appliances too quickly. Most cases should be work 10-12 hours per day. And the adjustments should be made every 2-3 weeks. Adjusting the DNA appliance more often is what leads to orthodontic movement instead of bone growth. The appliances should be passive when adjusted. If it is still tight is should not be adjusted. It is also possible that the bottom appliance get adjusted on a different schedule than the top. It all depends on how tight the appliance is. In general the top appliance grows faster and experiences more growth than the bottom.
