What is the TAP 3?
The TAP 3 is the latest addition to the TAP family. It offers the same results as the TAP and TAP II and fits more comfortably in the mouth. The smaller hardware provides more room for the tongue and allows the lips to close. Developed with advanced dental technology, the TAP 3 improves breathing and eliminates snoring in over 95% of all patients. The appliance also effectively treats sleep apnea and reduces the impact of associated health risks without the need for surgery, CPAP or medication.
How TAP 3 Works
The TAP 3 holds the lower jaw in a forward position so that it does not shift nor fall open during the night. This prevents the airway from collapsing. The TAP 3 is the only mandibular advancement device that can be adjusted by the patient or practitioner while in the mouth. Most patients experience relief the very first night they wear their TAP 3. Although it may take up to a week to get used to wearing a TAP 3 appliance, this is a small hurdle for patients. Nine in ten patients wear the device all night, every night – making the TAP a highly effective solution for both snoring and sleep apnea.
