Sleep Apnea Devices (TAP 3)


Breathe Easier. Sleep Better. Live Healthier.
At Oviedo Premier Dental, we understand how important quality sleep is for your overall health and well-being. That’s why we proudly offer TAP 3 and SomnoDent Flex oral devices — a modern, non-invasive solution for patients struggling with sleep apnea and related breathing issues. Designed for exceptional comfort and effectiveness, these custom appliances gently open your airway, allowing you to enjoy deep, restorative rest.
What Are Sleep Apnea Devices (TAP 3)?
The TAP 3 is an advanced oral appliance therapy device created to treat obstructive sleep apnea and snoring. Unlike bulky CPAP machines, the TAP 3 is a compact, custom-fitted mouthpiece that gently repositions your lower jaw forward to keep the airway open during sleep. It provides a simple, comfortable, and highly effective alternative for patients seeking relief without invasive surgery or nightly mask use.
How TAP 3 Devices Work
The TAP 3 works by slightly advancing the lower jaw, which prevents the collapse of soft tissues at the back of the throat that cause airway obstruction. By maintaining an open airway, it reduces interruptions in breathing, minimizes snoring, and helps you achieve more restful, oxygen-rich sleep. Its adjustable design allows for personalized comfort and maximum effectiveness, all while being easy to wear and care for.
Conditions TAP 3 Devices Help Treat
Sleep apnea devices like the TAP 3 are designed to address conditions caused by airway obstruction during sleep. These include:
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
- Loud, chronic snoring
- Interrupted or poor-quality sleep
- Daytime fatigue caused by nighttime breathing disturbances
- Morning headaches or dry mouth associated with sleep-disordered breathing
Choosing the TAP 3 device at Oviedo Premier Dental provides a life-changing improvement in sleep quality and overall health. Patients enjoy a discreet, comfortable solution that fits seamlessly into their nightly routine.

How is the TAP 3 device different from a CPAP machine?
The TAP 3 is a small oral appliance worn in the mouth, unlike the CPAP machine which uses a mask and airflow system. It’s easier to use, more portable, and less intrusive.
How long does it take to get used to wearing the TAP 3 device?
Most patients adjust within a few nights, as the appliance is designed for comfort and custom fit.
Do I need to wear the device every night?
Yes, for the best results and consistent relief, the TAP 3 should be worn nightly while sleeping.
How do I know if TAP 3 or SomnoDent Flex is right for me?
During your consultation, we evaluate your symptoms, sleep patterns, and oral structure to determine which device best suits your unique needs for optimal results.
