Tips for myTAP Oral Appliance Vertical Shims

Fitting and Adjustment

Start with the Smallest Shim: Begin by inserting the smallest shim into your myTAP oral appliance. Gradually increase the size if additional vertical opening is needed for comfort.
Ensure Proper Placement: Make sure the shim is securely positioned within the appliance. Improper placement can affect the fit and effectiveness of your therapy.
Reevaluate Comfort Regularly: After inserting a shim, wear the appliance for a few nights to assess comfort and effectiveness. Adjust the shim size if necessary for optimal fit.

Customization and Comfort

Monitor Jaw Alignment: Using shims can alter the position of your jaw. Pay attention to how your jaw feels and adjust the shim size if you experience discomfort or misalignment.
Check for Air Leaks: Ensure that adding a shim does not compromise the seal of your oral appliance. A proper seal is crucial for effective therapy.
Increase Gradually: If more vertical space is needed, increase the shim size gradually. This approach helps your jaw adapt to the new fit without causing undue discomfort.

Maintenance and Care

Clean Regularly: Clean the shims along with your oral appliance daily to maintain hygiene. Use mild soap and warm water for cleaning.
Inspect for Wear: Regularly check the shims for signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn or damaged shims to maintain the effectiveness of your therapy.
Store Properly: When not in use, store the shims in a clean, dry place. Keep them in the provided storage container to protect them from dust and damage.

Maximizing Effectiveness

Combine with AM Aligner: Use the AM Aligner every morning to help maintain your original bite after using the shims overnight. This practice prevents long-term changes to your dental alignment.
Consult Your Dentist: If you experience persistent discomfort or issues with the fit, consult your dentist. They can provide professional advice on adjusting the shims for better comfort and effectiveness.
Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer for fitting and using the shims. This ensures you are using the product correctly for the best results.

Travel and Convenience

Pack Extra Shims: When traveling, pack extra shims in case you need to adjust your oral appliance while away from home. This ensures you maintain optimal comfort and effectiveness.
Travel-Friendly Storage: Use the provided storage container to keep your shims organized and protected during travel. This prevents loss and damage.
