The DNA Appliance is the Vivos daytime-nighttime design: a removable appliance with expansion screws and a 3-D axial spring, worn 12 to 16 hours a day through the treatment period. Instead of advancing the mandible each night, it sets out to widen and develop the upper arch so the airway has more room permanently.

Gergen's fabricates Vivos appliances to the provider's prescription. Send scans or impressions of both arches, a construction bite where the prescription calls for one, and the Vivos case form.
