“The TAP System, from the myTAP to myTAP PAP all the way to custom TAP, is kind of like the swiss army knife of the oral appliance spectrum. You can find something in the TAP system that is going to work for you with anything that is thrown at you. Anyone who walks through the door, I have everything here so that I can find a way to treat any patient.”
“I’ve been in the dental sleep world for over 20 years. I love working with Airway Management. The Nylon flexTAP is very small, 3D printed… it fits perfectly without having to adjust it. I think we will have very minimal tongue space intrusion with this device. It’s comfortable when I wore it at night because it’s not much on my cheeks. It does have a little piece sticking out, but it really doesn’t seem to bother me or my patients when we’ve used the myTAPs in the past as well. It’s easy to adjust because you just turn the adjustment dial. It comes with a lip guard. We all know nasal breathing is very important, so this can help patients as well. We’re excited to start using it in our office.”
“myTAP is an innovative solution for managing obstructive sleep apnea, offering user-friendly features for enhanced comfort and compliance. With a quick 15-minute fitting process and a unique Adjustment Dial for precise jaw positioning in quarter-millimeter increments, it ensures a tailored fit. The support we receive from myTAP is fantastic, and the respiratory team is excited to recommend it as a valuable resource for patients seeking effective therapy and improved sleep health.”
“For Kaiser Permanente, myTAP has been very useful. On the sleep medicine side, the ability to have a pre-fabricated device that is easy to mold and use, gives us confidence when we order a permanent device it will work for the patient. myTAP’s single-point midline adjustment mechanism, empowers patients to control their therapy and find the most comfortable and effective position. On the patient’s side, they get a good idea on whether they can tolerate a dental device before having to make a large financial commitment and be reassured that the protrusion level is well tolerated.”
“myTAP is a great appliance. I like that it is highly adjustable and provides freedom of motion laterally and vertically. My patients love that it is so light and comfortable.”
“I really like the integrated nose breathing trainer (Mouth Shield), and the inter-arch supports make the flexTAP even more comfortable. The hole in the front makes it easy to breathe just a bit through. I can draw just a bit of air that way, keeping it from feeling ‘suffocating.’”
“The Nylon flexTAP was an excellent case. My patient cannot tolerate appliances with lateral attachments and he needs the mouth shield. I think that the mouth shield is a game changer for mouth breathers.”
“The TAP sleep appliance has been the “Go To” device for treating sleep-disordered breathing in my practice. Adding the Mouth Shield to the dreamTAP appliance has reduced the protrusion necessary to eliminate their apnea by inducing nasal breathing. Reducing the amount, the mandible moves in the protrusive direction minimizes the stress on the teeth, skeleton, and temporomandibular joint. In my experience, minimizing the amount of protrusion and using the AM aligner reduces the risk of occlusal changes associated with the long-term use of a mandibular advancement appliance.”
