The Sleep and Airway Health: A Proven Path from Knowledge to Implementation Comprehensive Program delivered by The Vivos Institute is well thought out. They bring successful doctors that deliver Vivos Lifeline appliances and have them share their knowledge and experience with breakout sessions for different roles. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience including laser treatment for some of us. They also feed you well while you are there. I am looking forward to the CARE appliance training to complete the 3 part series. If you have an opportunity to take these courses, don't think twice. Go ahead and take them. They are well worth it!
When I first began the Sleep and Airway Health: A Proven Path from Knowledge to Implementation program, I was nervous and uncertain about stepping out of my comfort zone in dentistry. After watching the training videos and attending the live sessions, I still felt unsure if I could truly apply what I was learning. However, the guidance from the instructors and support from my peers helped me gain the confidence I needed. Revisiting the material a second time made everything feel more natural, and I began to see how powerful this approach could be. Now, I’m eager to put what I’ve learned into practice and make a meaningful difference for my patients.Even though I'm still new to treating patients, I'm confident that all Vivos providers are going to do great things.
Cataloochee Dental Group
I took my team to the Sleep and Airway Health: A Proven Path from Knowledge to Implementation program last year and we had a great time learing and growing together! Each team member trained in their specific area. Before this, we'd only done airway screenings, but now we're confidently screening and treating airway patients. It helped me see our patients as whole people-not just their teeth.
Mill Town Family Dentistry
The Sleep and Airway Health: A Proven Path from Knowledge to Implementation course was a great way to get introduced to the Vivos Method. It provided a robust foundation for thinking about and understanding sleep apnea as a dentist. I started this course with limited knowledge about sleep dentistry but left feeling that I had the necessary tools to start treating patients the following week and found it invaluable to bring my staff to the course as they gained an understanding necessary to screen and talk to patient allowing our integration of the Vivos method to be seamless.

Everything is reviewed: reviewing sleep screenings and making any necessary referrals and communications with physicians and specialists, capturing proper records and uploading necessary information into Vivos Aire, the importance of AI reports (for everyone involved in the patient's care), and appliance selection, delivery, and follow-ups. You and your team will leave this training feeling confident as you begin to provide these treatment options to your patients.
Springcrest Dental Associates
The Sleep and Airway Health: A Proven Path from Knowledge to Implementation course was highly practical and covered a wide range of topics, from TMD and diagnosis to front desk training on using Aire uploading. It alleviated the burden on the doctor of having to train staff in multiple areas. Bringing the entire team to this course was worthwhile, as it left them motivated to deliver meaningful services to patients. It also served as a great introductory class, recognizing the vast depth in sleep dentistry yet to be explored.
After attending The Sleep and Airway Health: A Proven Path from Knowledge to Implementation Comprehensive Program, I returned to my office ready to make a difference. I successfully delivered two EMAs, two sets of upper and lower DNAs, along with some VStarters for kids and a few adult rescues. It’s rewarding to help my patients while seeing my investment pay off, live training made all the difference!
