TAP® 3 Elite is a trademark of Airway Management. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

The TAP 3 Elite is the latest TAP hardware: a smaller hook and socket than the TAP 3, with more tongue room and easier lip closure, and the same interchangeable hooks that accommodate Class I, II and III bites. The patient adjusts advancement with a single midline key; the dentist can read the setting.

We build it in hard acrylic or with a soft liner to the construction bite you send. Tell us the starting protrusion.

Commonly prescribed for

  • Obstructive sleep apnea and snoring
