How is the TAP different than other oral appliances on the market?
A.The TAP is the only oral appliance that can be adjusted by the patient while in the mouth. It is important for patient to be able to control their treatment position at home because sleep disordered breathing can vary night to night. The TAP has the smallest increments of adjustment of any appliance on the market. These increments are standardized so the patient and doctor know the precise setting and can fine-tune the position at any time. The TAP has the ability to adjust the position of the jaw farther forward than any other oral appliance on the market. Thus, the TAP has the ability to create the most open airway possible. Finally, the TAP is the only oral appliance that has an attachment for a CPAP mask.
