Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Treating Sleep Apnea - A Unique Approach
The Thornton Adjustable Positioner® (TAP) is based on the same principle as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, CPR. The airway must be opened to allow air to pass through the throat. A constricted or collapsed airway causes snoring or sleep apnea.
The TAP holds the lower jaw in a forward position so that it does not fall open during the night and cause the airway to collapse. The TAP maintains a clear airway to reduce snoring and improve breathing.
Comfortable and patient-friendly
Custom-made to prevent any change in teeth position or mouth structures
adjustable allowing maximum comfort and effectiveness |
