Sleep Apnea - The CPAP Alternative Solution

It’s a little overwhelming to think about. An estimated 90% of people, who have High Blood Pressure, also have Sleep Apnea. And, 60% of people with sleep apnea will develop High Blood Pressure.  But, it doesn’t stop there.  Here are other negative health problems attributed to Sleep Apnea, officially called, “Obstructive Sleep Apnea” or OSA

The dental connection to all of this is a device, that can now be fitted for your mouth and that will have the same benefit as the traditional solution to Sleep Apnea, the CPAC machine. 

Here at Dr. Bennett’s office, we use a device called the Tap3, Thorton Adjustable Positioner. We’ll stick with Tap 3. Both Dentists and patients like this dental solution to sleep apnea for multiple reasons.  It’s easy to fit, much like a mouth guard. Tap3 is very adjustable, allowing for more tongue movement. It’s silent, which may be the biggest benefit. Tap 3 is cost effective and less intimidating that the Cpac machine.  Finally, excellent results come from Tap 3’s  usage.

Scientists project that by the year 2020, 1 in 5 Americans will suffer from some type of snoring and/or sleep apnea disorder. Dentists are very aware of this and have partnered successfully with manufacturers of dental devices which offer solutions.

So, take charge of your sleep disorder and inquire about Tap 3 on your next visit to Dr. Bennett.  

Your quality of life will improve dramatically.
