Mouthpiece anti-snoring mouthpiece flexTAP®

Helping to provide a restful night’s sleep, the flexTAP® is a premium mandibular advancement device (MAD) for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. PDAC (Pricing, Data Analysis and Coding) contractor-verified for Medicare reimbursement: Code E0486 Metal-free with 14 mm range of patient adjustability Each case comes with a Mouth Shield nasal breathing trainer and an AM Aligner® No bite registration required Provided as a complete airway management system, the flexTAP appliance defends against partial or complete collapse of the upper airway, encourages nasal breathing and manages tooth movement, a known side effect of mandibular advancement therapy. Comprised of three components, the system includes: flexTAP MAD — This appliance engages the patient’s upper and lower dentition. The micro-adjustment of the mandible results in tension of the muscles and ligaments of the upper airway to maintain a patent airway. The design allows for more airway and tongue space with less protrusion than other TAP appliances. Mouth Shield — Designed to promote nasal breathing, this nasal breathing trainer reduces the drying effect and excessive saliva that is common with oral breathing. AM Aligner — This device records the patient’s natural pretreatment bite. The AM Aligner is worn each morning after treatment with the flexTAP appliance to exercise the jaw back into normal occlusion should any change have occurred while using the MAD overnight. Patient Satisfaction Oral appliance therapy (OAT) is very effective in treating patients with sleep-disordered breathing, with a compliance rate shown to be as high as high as 90% over a 2.5-year period.1
