On the DreamTAP the advancement hardware is set facially, on the outside of the trays at the front. With the parts outside, the tongue has more room than on the TAP 3.
Three hook sizes cover 15 mm of advancement, against 7 mm on the TAP 3.
Each 180-degree turn of the adjustment key moves the mandible 0.25 mm. Because every step is the same, the patient can count turns to set the position precisely, so the treatment position can be held and still changed as symptoms change. The hardware is chromium-cobalt and stainless steel.
We build the trays in hard acrylic, or hard acrylic with a soft liner, from upper and lower scans or impressions and a construction bite at the starting advancement and vertical opening you choose. Put the starting advancement and the titration range on the prescription.
