Littleton, Colo.-based Vivos Therapeutics, a medical technology company focused on developing treatments for sleep-disordered breathing, opened its first integrated medical-dental sleep center, according to a March 8 news release.
The Del Mar, Cali.-based Pneusomnia clinic is owned and operated by a group of local physicians.
Vivos Therapeutics launched its medical integration division in early 2020 so more physicians could work directly with dentists to treat sleep disorders. As part of the new sleep medicine center, patients receive treatment with the Vivos System, a nonsurgical, non-pharmaceutical oral appliance treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea.
"With additional centers opening later this year across the country, and over 1,200 independent dentists in the U.S. and Canada who are now using the Vivos System, we believe we are poised to reach even more undiagnosed patients than ever before," said Kirk Huntsman, co-founder and CEO for Vivos.
