The TAP^® 3

The TAP^® 3 appliance is a proven treatment modality for mild to severe OSA. It is currently being prescribed by over 7,000 dentists worldwide to cure snoring and sleep apnea. It has a technically simple design that attaches the upper and lower jaws together by utilizing a small hook and socket mechanism.

The single most distinguishing feature of the TAP^® is that it can be adjusted by the patient while in the mouth by the use of a small detachable key until the lower jaw is brought forward enough to ensure the airway remains open during sleep. Once a comfortable degree of protrusion is achieved, the key is removed and the patient can completely close their mouth with the appliance inside. This unobtrusive, self adjustability is one of the reasons TAP^® has a compliance rate of 95%.

Patients are empowered to manage the degree of lower jaw protrusion over as many nights as it takes to achieve the optimal effect comfortably. The fact that TAP^® has a single point of adjustment prevents uneven bilateral adjustment which can create bite dysfunction.

The TAP^® AM Aligner

TAP^®The purpose of the AM Aligner is to restore jaw alignment after using the TAP overnight. The forces that are inherent in repositioning the mandible forward are to incline the upper teeth towards the palate and the lower anterior teeth forward. This may also create inter-proximal spaces in the anterior teeth. The AM Aligner will offset these forces.

This tool is constructed from a thermoplastic material that, when heated, can be molded onto the upper teeth prior to a TAP being worn. This should then be worn every morning after wearing the TAP to reposition the teeth back to normal occlusion.

The TAP^®-PAP Custom

TAP^®-PAP Custom addresses the need in certain cases to take a step beyond the nasal pillows used in the TAP^®PAP to achieve satisfactory treatment. In these cases ATI offers a custom mask that is fitted exactly to the patient's face covering only the mouth and nose. This light weight, perfectly fitted mask is made by the use of a facial moulage or impression.

This process results in a nearly invisible light weight mask for those patients who require a mechanically splinted airway (TAP^®) plus additional air pressure not accommodated by nasal pillows alone. The small customized mask creates a seal that allows for higher air flow that is still considerably below that of a conventional CPAP mask.

The TAP^® Gauge

The TAP Gauge is a device that assists in accurately taking a bite registration for all mandibular advancement appliances and to record the patient's range of motion for titration purposes both clinically and in a sleep lab. The TAP Gauge represents a revolutionary way to ensure a proper hardware placement and vertical setting of your patient's appliance.
