The company's flagship product is the Vivos Method, which employs a suite of FDA-cleared removable CARE (Complete Airway Repositioning and/or Expansion) oral appliances. These appliances, including the DNA, mRNA, and mmRNA oral appliances, gradually reposition the hard and soft tissues that define the patient's airway, thereby optimizing its function and airflow.
 
 
 
 
 In November 2023, Vivos received the first-ever FDA 510(k) clearance for an oral device to treat severe OSA in adults. This clearance followed an earlier 510(k) clearance in December 2022 for the DNA oral appliance to treat mild-to-moderate OSA. The company's treatment approach has proven effective in approximately 40,000 patients worldwide, treated by over 1,850 trained dentists.
 
 
 
 
 Vivos' proprietary CARE appliances represent a non-surgical, non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical, and cost-effective solution for treating mild to severe OSA, offering an alternative to CPAP or surgical neurostimulation implants. Clinical data showed that 80% of severe OSA patients experienced at least a 50% improvement in the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI), with an average treatment time of 9.7 months. Additionally, a separate peer-reviewed study in 2022 revealed that one out of four Vivos patients experienced complete resolution of their OSA symptoms.
 
 
 
 
 Vivos also markets and distributes SleepImage diagnostic technology under its VivoScore program for home sleep testing in adults and children. The Vivos Integrated Practice (VIP) program offers dentists training and other value-added services in connection with using The Vivos Method.

Convergent Dental, Inc. is a privately owned dental equipment and technology company. Its flagship product, Solea, is the only CO2 laser cleared by the FDA for all-tissue indications, delivering an anesthesia-free, blood-free, and suture-free experience for dentists and patients. Solea represents a breakthrough in dental laser technology, offering a distinct experience compared to traditional instruments or earlier laser treatments.
Solea is a novel 9.3-micron CO2 laser that nears the peak absorption of hydroxyapatite (enamel), enabling it to vaporize enamel with speed and precision. This unique wavelength, coupled with computer-controlled motors (galvos) that manipulate the beam thousands of times per second, allows dentists to perform procedures ranging from hard tissue to soft tissue with total control and efficiency.
A key feature of Solea is its variable-speed foot pedal, which lets dentists seamlessly transition from hard to soft tissue by adjusting the pressure applied. This intuitive design streamlines the learning curve for dentists accustomed to using a drill. Solea's three ergonomic handpieces – Contra-Angle, Straight, and Ultraguide – further enhance its versatility across various procedures.
Solea not only improves patient experiences but also offers practice benefits such as increased productivity, new patient flow, and efficiency gains. In October 2022, Convergent Dental received FDA clearance for Solea to aid in reducing mineral loss in dental enamel, protecting teeth against acid attack and caries development. This breakthrough application was commercially launched in November 2023 under the name Solea Protect.
