THE TAP

If you suffer from grinding your teeth at night, snoring, or mild sleep apnea, then we have a solution that can help! Developed with advanced dental technology, the TAP is a custom-made device that is designed to keep the airway open and allow air to pass. As an alternative to other ways of treating sleep apnea, such as surgery or CPAP, the TAP is known to reduce the impact of health risks associated with these alternatives.

benefits of the TAP

The TAP is able to offer more comfort and ease when it comes to resting at night, is a more affordable option, and is far less obtrusive than other devices. Over 96% of patients have reported that the device eliminated their snoring. In addition to helping with snoring and sleep apnea, the TAP can help with getting a better night’s rest. 

how does the TAP work?

The TAP consists of an upper and lower tray that fits tightly over the teeth and lower jaw slightly in order to allow air to pass through. The TAP does not require much more than simply snapping the device into place (much like a retainer) and going to sleep. Overall, the process is very simple and straightforward, but different medical conditions may require additional accommodations.
