Post Do these things work? 
I was diagnosed with moderate OSA in December.  Started using a CPAP on setting 7 with a nasal pillow and can sleep through the night with it.  However,  I also have bad LPR Reflux, and it seems
to be making the reflux a lot worse.  My ENT never mentioned anything about a dental device.  Anyone have luck with these?

Thanks!

I used a device called "Snore-Guard". It worked great for a while, then my symptoms not only came back, but with a vengence. I've been on CPAP for 12 years now. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Post Yes! They work! 
I live in Canada & was diagnosed with OSA about 3 years ago. I was only 33 years old then and knew I would NOT be able to use a CPap....just NOT for me. I was lucky to have a denturist in my area that has created a mouthpiece, it's called a SUAD Device, to stop snoring and aleviate sleep apnea. I have really gotten used to it & my husband LOVES it!

I've been using my TAP-T for about 8 weeks now.   I just had a sleep study last week and found out my TAP is effective in treating my sleep apnea so I'm now CPAP free!!!!
