Tips for myTAP Oral Appliance Replacement Trays

Fitting and Adjustment

• Initial Fitting: Heat the replacement tray in warm water until it becomes pliable. Follow the instructions to mold it to your teeth. This process should take around 15 minutes.
• Reheating for Adjustments: If the fit isn’t perfect, you can reheat the tray and adjust it multiple times until it feels just right. This ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness.
• Precision Fit: Make sure to fit the tray snugly against your teeth for a secure hold. Proper alignment is key to maintaining the appliance's performance.

Maintenance and Durability

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the replacement tray daily with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or toothpaste to prevent damage.
• Inspect for Wear and Tear: Regularly check the tray for signs of wear or damage. Replace it if it shows significant signs of deterioration to maintain the effectiveness of your therapy.
• Storage: When not in use, store the tray in a clean, dry place. Use the provided storage container to keep it protected from dust and debris.

Comfort and Use

• Adjust Gradually: If you need to adjust the tray, do so gradually. Small changes can make a big difference in comfort and effectiveness.
• AM Aligner Use: After each night’s use, wear the AM Aligner to maintain your original bite and prevent changes in your dental alignment.
• Monitor Comfort: Pay attention to how your mouth feels throughout the night. If you experience discomfort, reheat and refit the tray until you find a comfortable setup.

Travel and Storage

• Travel-Friendly: Always bring your replacement tray and fitting instructions when traveling. This ensures you can make adjustments if needed while away from home.
• Protection: Use the travel case to protect your tray from damage during transport. This keeps it clean and ready for use wherever you are.
