Treating Sleep Apnea Effectively with the help of the TAP® 3 Elite Dental Appliance

With more than 12 million people in the U.S. having sleep apnea, it is good to know that there are dental appliances available from dentists that can help suffers improve sleep quality and their lives.

The Thornton Adjustable Positioner (TAP) was developed with advanced dental technology and improves breathing and eliminates snoring in over 95% of all patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea.

How does it work? The TAP® 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® is the only mandibular advancement device that can be adjusted by the patient or practitioner while in the mouth.

The TAP® 3 Elite is the newest version of the TAP® appliance. 

It provides:

·  More durability

·  Greater range of adjustment

·  More lateral movement

·  More tongue space

·  Maximum patient comfort
