What is TAP3® Appliance?
Dentist Flower Mound
The TAP3® Appliance is a custom-made oral device used to help manage snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. It works by gently repositioning the lower jaw forward during sleep, which helps keep the airway open and reduces the likelihood of breathing interruptions. The appliance is designed to be worn at night and offers a more compact and comfortable alternative to bulkier sleep therapy equipment. For many patients, it provides a practical option for improving nighttime breathing and overall sleep quality.
Each TAP3® Appliance is created using detailed impressions or digital scans to ensure a precise and comfortable fit. One of its key features is adjustability, which allows the jaw position to be fine-tuned over time to balance comfort and effectiveness. Because it is removable, the appliance is easy to clean and simple to incorporate into a nightly routine. With consistent use and regular follow-up visits, the TAP3® Appliance can play an important role in supporting healthier sleep and better daily energy levels.
