Vivos Therapeutics’ FDA Clearance for Pediatric Sleep Apnea: A Game-Changer
Parents, there’s big news in the fight against pediatric sleep apnea! Vivos Therapeutics has received groundbreaking FDA 510(k) clearance to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring in children aged 6 to 17. This innovative DNA appliance is set to revolutionize pediatric sleep care—and we at Smile Innovations Hawaii couldn’t be more excited to offer this cutting-edge solution to local families.
A Silent Epidemic: Pediatric Sleep Apnea on the Rise
Sleep apnea doesn’t just affect adults. According to recent studies, approximately 10.1 million children in the U.S. suffer from OSA. Left untreated, pediatric sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues, including ADHD-like symptoms, dental malocclusion, obesity, anxiety, and chronic sleep deprivation. Traditional treatments, such as surgery or CPAP, often have mixed results or are not suitable for growing children.
That’s why this FDA approval is such a monumental development!
The Vivos Solution: Safe, Comfortable, and Effective
The newly approved Vivos DNA appliance offers a non-invasive, affordable option that’s safe and comfortable for children. It is designed to open up the airway, reduce snoring, and effectively treat OSA. In clinical trials, this appliance showed remarkable success—reducing apnea symptoms by 62.7% and snoring by 58%.
Unlike other treatment options, Vivos’ DNA appliance also supports orthodontic correction, ensuring your child’s airway and dental health are addressed together.
