myTAP precision fit oral appliance. The myTAP effectively treat snoring and sleep apnea and has been validated in over 40 independent peer reviewed clinical studies. It comes with a 30-day money back guarantee to help ensure this is the right treatment for you.
The myTAP is a treatment for snoring and sleep apnea based on the the TAP™ oral appliance, which has been clinically proven in over 45 independent peer-reviewed studies to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The myTAP advances the lower jaw, preventing the tissues of the throat and tongue from collapsing into the airway.
The myTAP is made from a novel plastic that, when heated, softens and can be molded to the teeth. If reheated, the components will return to their original shape. This means that the myTAP can be refit as many times as needed for an accurate fit. The all-plastic hardware can be adjusted by the patient to determine how far forward the lower jaw is advanced.
The myTAP is intended to be used by individuals who have been prescribed oral appliance therapy for snoring or mild to moderate sleep apnea. The myTAP is intended for single-patient use in the home, hospital or other clinical setting.
This device is not advisable for patients with loose teeth, loose dental work, dentures, or other oral conditions, which would be adversely affected by wearing an oral appliance. In addition, the appliance is contraindicated in patients who have central sleep apnea, severe respiratory disorders, or are under 18 years of age.
