Millions of people of all ages suffer from conditions described in the medical literature as maxillary hypoplasia and/or mandibular retrognathia/retrusion. This all too common a condition, where the upper and lower jaws do not fully develop and often results in a compromised upper airway. Individuals who suffer from these conditions may develop sleep disordered breathing, including obstructive sleep apnea or, causing them to periodically stop breathing during sleep. Vivos is investing in ongoing clinical research and clinical trials to expand its existing portfolio of therapeutic-grade biomimetic oral appliances for the treatment of midfacial hypoplasia and/or mandibular retrognathia/retrusion. ~ Vivos
