About Snoring
Snoring is the sign of a breathing problem. Snoring can seriously affect your quality of life. It can be embarrassing and inconvenient, and cause problems in relationships. In some cases, snoring is a red flag for a more serious medical problem called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).


Sleep apnea is a characterized by abnormal pauses in or instances of abnormally low breathing, during. Each pause in breathing, called an, can last from a few seconds to minutes, and may occur 5 to 30 times or more an hour.

The Thornton Adjustable Positioner® (TAP®) is a custom adjustable oral appliance that is worn while sleeping. The appliance holds the lower jaw forward, preventing the tongue and the soft tissue of the throat from collapsing into the airway.

TAP®-PAP CS (Chairside) The TAP® oral appliance is effective in treating over 90% of OSA patients effectively. In the remaining 10% the air way is so compromised that the use of TAP®/ CPAP combination therapy may be the most efficacious treatment.
