Model flexTAP - The Newest, Most Innovative customTAP Oral Appliance
flexTAP® with Vertex Technology® is a premium lab-made custom oral appliance for the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. As the first custom TAP with no metal parts, flexTAP is an oral appliance that is customized for personal comfort and equipped with a self-adjuster for at-home ease. flexTAP’s new blue ThermAcryl® liner is thinner, more durable, and easy to adjust chair side using warm water. The key to flexTAP’s success is the new patented Vertex Technology, which is the design of the post angulation in the flexTAP hardware. flexTAP is the first custom oral appliance to include a standard nasal breathing component, the flexTAP Mouth Shield, to improve comfort and treatment outcomes.
Vertex Technology is the design of the post angulation in the flexTAP hardware.
The post is angled at a 45-degree angle, allowing the patient to advance their lower jaw both vertically and horizontally at the same time.
By opening the box both vertically and horizontally, vs just horizontally in most oral appliances, we’ve seen patients needing less protrusion which eases joint pain or strain on the jaw and less tooth movement.
flexTAP opens the box more than any custom TAP on the market and still has the key factor of patients being able to self-adjust if needed
The flexTAP Adjustment Dial allows the clinician or patient to adjust the amount of protrusion of the lower jaw to the most effective and comfortable position. Each half turn (counterclockwise “from user’s perspective”) of the flexTAP® Adjustment Dial will advance in ? mm increments.

flexTAP is the first custom appliance on the market to include a standard nasal breathing component. Recent literature shows nasal breathing as the proper way to breathe. The flexTAP Mouth Shield slips onto the post to increase comfort and provide better treatment outcomes. It also helps prevent dry mouth or excess saliva.
