I want to thank you again for the TAP dental device for my sleep apnea. I had been struggling with the CPAP unit for over a year, trying everything they offered, including the full mask, nasal mask and nasal pillow. I was on the verge of giving up. I have a quick gag reflex, which you know, but was able to quickly adjust to the dental device and now use the it without even thinking about it. I can now sleep in any position without the hose twisted around me, or having the mask leak on my face and eyes. An added benefit I hadn’t thought of came to my attention when I packed for a vacation trip, the first time after getting the TAP device. No compressor, hose or humidifier to deal with. Just drop the small storage box, smaller than an electric razor, into my luggage. The cost seemed high until I did the math. Even after paying for the main CPAP unit, which can break down and wear out, there is the on going cost of replacing the nasal pillows every two weeks, the hose replacement and humidifier water tub. I was pleased to see that most of the TAP cost is covered by my insurance with the doctors prescription. Lastly the maintenance and use of the TAP device is simple compared to the CPAP. Just clean them once a week using any denture cleaner. To use it, I just let them sit in a cup of tap hot water for few minutes and put them in, like you would a sports mouth guard. No straps to adjust or hose to hassle with. Once again, I can honestly admit that I would not be treating my sleep apnea now if it wasn’t for the TAP device you suggested.
Thank You Richard Vega
