Oral Appliance Alternative to CPAP http://www.perfectsmilemaker.com/apnea.htm 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 |
