The myTAP oral appliance is a precision-fit mandibular advancement device designed as a non-CPAP treatment for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It uses the same advancement mechanism found in the custom TAP line, but in a format that can be fitted chairside in minutes.

myTAP works by gently advancing the lower jaw to improve airway patency during sleep. The appliance is made from thermoformable trays that can be heated and molded for a personalized fit. Because the material is reheatable, the device can be refitted multiple times to fine-tune comfort or accommodate changes in dental alignment.

Optional Vertical Shims

  • Fit with suction: While the tray is warm, suck firmly to remove air and water. This helps the material seal closely around your teeth for a more secure fit.
  • Shape with your hands: Press cheeks and lips against the warm tray during fitting to improve contact with tooth surfaces.
  • Refit if needed: If the appliance feels loose or uncomfortable, it can be reheated and remolded multiple times without damaging the material.
  • Adjust in small steps: Each 180° turn of the dial moves the jaw forward by 0.33 mm. Small changes help avoid jaw strain.
  • Follow dial direction: Turn counter-clockwise to advance the jaw and open the airway. Turn clockwise to reduce advancement if jaw discomfort appears.
  • Go slowly: Limit adjustments to one half-turn every 2–3 nights to allow jaw muscles and joints to adapt naturally.
  • Use the morning aligner: Wear the AM aligner for 10–15 minutes each morning to help guide your jaw back to its natural position.
  • Clean gently every day: Use mild liquid dish soap and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive toothpaste or alcohol-based mouthwash.
  • Deep clean when needed: Use TAP Clean Tabs periodically for thorough disinfection without damaging the material.
  • Avoid heat exposure: Do not leave the appliance in hot environments or wash it with boiling water. Temperatures above 120°F (49°C) can cause warping.
  • Check nasal breathing: Comfortable nasal airflow is important for effectiveness. Excessive vertical opening may reduce performance.
  • Dental Restorations: Do not use with removable dentures, bridges, temporary crowns, or loosely fitted dental work.
  • Structural Health: Prohibited for those with loose teeth, active braces, or fewer than 8 natural teeth per arch.
  • Medical Supervision: Use is restricted if you have not had a dental exam within the last year.

Product Features

Oral Appliance for Snoring and Sleep Apnea

myTAP® is a thermoplastic oral appliance that can be molded in the clinic to achieve a personalized fit within minutes. It is FDA-cleared for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and is fitted without the need for external laboratory work. The appliance allows same-day initiation of mandibular advancement therapy.

Same-Day Fitting With Reheatable Trays

The device uses reheatable trays that soften at a controlled temperature and adapt to the patient’s dentition. The trays can be reheated and remolded multiple times without affecting their structure, allowing adjustments to retention or comfort during the fitting session. myTAP reduces the need for multiple visits and supports step-by-step refinement based on patient tolerance.

Proven Effectiveness Comparable to Custom TAP

Findings from a randomized crossover trial published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine show that myTAP and custom TAP appliances produce similar treatment outcomes. The study reported comparable reductions in apnea–hypopnea index and other polysomnographic measures with both devices. These results indicate that a noncustom, thermoplastic mandibular advancement device can achieve effectiveness on par with a custom-fabricated design when used in the management of obstructive sleep apnea (Bosschieter et al., 2022; doi:10.5664/jcsm.10058).

Adaptation and Early Use Expectations

Initial use may cause temporary jaw stiffness, extra saliva, or mild discomfort. These effects typically improve over time. Gradual adjustments and follow-up with a provider are recommended to ensure proper fit and comfort during early stages of therapy.

Fit and Adjustability

myTAP molds directly to the teeth using a boil-and-bite method. After fitting, the jaw position can be fine-tuned using the integrated advancement dial. This adjustability allows the device to adapt to individual comfort and therapeutic needs over time.

Expected Therapeutic Benefits

myTAP helps reduce snoring and may improve nighttime breathing by keeping the airway stable. It’s designed for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea who are seeking an alternative to CPAP therapy.

Prescription and Technical Requirements

myTAP is a prescription-only oral appliance that requires a clinical evaluation. Adequate dental health and a sufficient number of natural teeth are necessary for retention. It is not intended for pediatric use and should only be used under professional supervision.

Adjustable Protrusion Dial for Mandibular Advancement

The myTAP dial enables precise jaw advancement in ⅓-mm steps with each half turn. This allows for gradual adjustment based on comfort and clinical response, helping achieve therapeutic positioning without overextending the jaw.

Mouth Shield to Promote Nasal Breathing

The Mouth Shield fits over the post and helps reduce dry mouth by promoting nasal airflow. A pilot study linked this design to changes in respiration and cognitive measures in adults with snoring or mild cognitive issues (Schramm et al., 2021).

Thermoplastic Precision-Fit Trays

The upper and lower trays are made of reheatable thermoplastic material that can be molded chairside. This allows for immediate fitting and adjustments without lab work, and they can be remolded multiple times to improve fit or comfort.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Durability

Clean daily with mild soap and water. Store dry when not in use. Over time, fit may change and accessories may require replacement. Routine inspection and occasional part updates can help maintain proper performance.

What is an oral appliance for sleep apnea and how does it work?

An oral appliance for sleep apnea is a mandibular advancement device that repositions the lower jaw slightly forward to keep the airway open during sleep. This reduces airway collapse and can improve symptoms like snoring and interrupted breathing. It is typically used for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea under clinical supervision.

Are oral appliances effective compared to CPAP therapy?

Oral appliances can be effective for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, but CPAP remains the most effective therapy for moderate to severe cases. Oral devices are often recommended when CPAP is not tolerated or when a patient prefers a less intrusive option.

What types of oral appliances are used for sleep apnea?

The main categories include mandibular advancement devices, which move the lower jaw forward, and tongue-stabilizing devices, which hold the tongue in a forward position. Mandibular advancement devices are the most commonly prescribed because they offer adjustable protrusion and broader clinical evidence.

How much does a dental sleep apnea device usually cost?

Most dental sleep apnea devices cost between $1,500 and $4,500 because they require custom fabrication, clinical fittings, and ongoing adjustments. However, some prefabricated mandibular advancement devices are significantly less expensive. For example, the myTAP oral appliance is typically priced around $199, since it uses an immediate-fit design that doesn’t require laboratory production. Insurance coverage varies and usually depends on a documented sleep apnea diagnosis.

Does insurance cover oral appliance therapy for snoring or sleep apnea?

Insurance often covers oral appliance therapy when it is prescribed for obstructive sleep apnea and supported by a sleep study. Coverage for snoring alone is less common. Patients should check durable medical equipment and sleep therapy benefits within their medical insurance plan.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for an oral appliance?

Good candidates generally have mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea or primary snoring confirmed by clinical evaluation. A clinician evaluates jaw structure, dental health, airway anatomy, and sleep-study results to determine if oral appliance therapy is appropriate.

How long does it take to get an oral appliance fitted?

Some oral appliances can be fitted the same day using heat-moldable trays, while custom devices require impressions and laboratory fabrication, which may take several weeks. Follow-up appointments are usually needed for protrusion adjustments and therapy optimization.

How should I clean a sleep apnea mouthpiece?

A sleep apnea mouthpiece should be cleaned daily with mild soap and warm water to remove biofilm. Hot water, abrasive toothpaste, and alcohol-based cleaners can damage the materials. Weekly soaking in a cleanser specifically intended for oral appliances is generally recommended.

Can I use denture cleaner for my sleep apnea oral appliance?

Denture cleaners are not automatically safe for oral appliances because some contain bleaching agents or abrasives that may weaken the device. A clinician should confirm whether a specific cleaner is compatible. Mild soap and water is typically the safest daily method.

What side effects can occur when using an oral appliance for sleep apnea?

Common temporary effects include jaw stiffness, tooth discomfort, excess saliva, or dry mouth. These usually improve with adjustments or consistent use. Long-term users may require monitoring for bite changes, which is why periodic follow-ups with a provider are recommended.

How long does an oral appliance for sleep apnea usually last?

Most oral appliances last one to five years, depending on material quality, grinding habits, and maintenance. Regular cleaning and follow-up visits help extend device lifespan and ensure effective therapy.

Are oral appliances FDA-cleared for treating sleep apnea?

Many mandibular advancement devices on the market are FDA-cleared for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. FDA clearance refers to safety and intended use but does not guarantee effectiveness for every individual. Treatment suitability is determined through clinical evaluation.

Do I still need a sleep study if I want an oral appliance?

A sleep study is typically required to confirm the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea and determine whether oral appliance therapy is appropriate. Follow-up sleep testing may be recommended to ensure the device is providing adequate therapeutic benefit.

How often should an oral appliance be adjusted?

Adjustment frequency depends on symptoms and comfort. Many devices allow incremental lower-jaw advancement, and adjustments are commonly made over several nights or weeks. Providers guide these adjustments to balance airway improvement with jaw comfort.

Can an oral appliance replace CPAP for moderate sleep apnea?

Oral appliances may help some individuals with moderate OSA, but effectiveness varies. Many sleep specialists recommend trying CPAP first for moderate cases and using an oral device as a secondary option if CPAP is intolerable.
