After a terrible experience in the sleep lab, and after declining the CPAP, I stumbled upon the TAP oral appliance. No machine, no mask, just a mouth guard. After 5 years of using it, my sleep is great, and my wife’s sleep has improved as well. As the appliance gradually deteriorated, I went back to get the newest version and the new, improved design is even better than my first TAP.

Dr. Thornton’s custom CPAP mask has improved my comfort at night, as well as enables me to sleep uninterrupted. Before I had been referred to Dr. Thornton, my CPAP mask was very uncomfortable, made impressions on my forehead and face, and woke me up several times during the night. With the latest custom mask that Dr. Thornton has fabricated for me, not only am I not aware of it, but because there is no leakage of air, I can’t hear the machine at all. My mask has made a dramatic improvement to my health.

Thanks to SleepWell Solutions my snoring and sleep apnea is no longer a problem. I am awake and alert in the afternoons again. I used to sleep 8-10 hours only to wake up feeling groggy in the mornings. Now I can sleep 5-6 hours a night and feel rested. I am happy, I am exercising, eating well, and I've lost 40 lbs. The TAP has restored my ability to rest and dream.

For many years of my adult life I felt just half-alive or half-asleep. I was diagnosed with mixed apnea and prescribed a CPAP machine. Though my AHI was moderate, both the efficacy and comfort of treatment were unsatisfactory, and when my wife vacated our bed due to mask leaks, noisy Velcro sounds and my constant moving/restlessness, I joined the ranks of non-compliant CPAP users. It took a dental sleep medicine specialist to not only diagnose me correctly, but also provide my first timely user friendly, comfortable, yet effective therapy that I could live with in the form of a patented oral appliance!

After 17 years of trying everything from the complete UPPP operation, different CPAP masks, numerous sleep studies, and various pressure adjustments, to different diets and sleeping positions, my dentist recommended the TAP. It only took about a week to get used to having the device in the mouth and to find the proper lower jaw protrusion adjustment, and miraculously, I have no more choking episodes at night.

I have snored since I was a child. My parents had no idea that my low energy level was tied to oxygen deprivation during sleep. Then my snoring became an issue in my marriage. My sleep-deprived wife was forced to wake me up 2-3 times per night to stop my snoring. I suffered with fatigue and was desperate for help. I found SleepWell Solutions, and they provided me with a portable monitoring device that was extremely sophisticated and comfortable and allowed for a sleep study at home. After the results showed long periods of snoring and severe oxygen deprivation. I was fitted for the TAP. There is no way to overstate the amazing difference in my energy level and personal happiness.

After a sleep study, I was diagnosed with mild apnea. My ENT suggested a CPAP machine. However, I read that many patients discontinue use of their CPAP due to discomfort and frankly, I couldn't imagine using one myself. After some research, I decided to give the TAP device a try. My snoring stopped the very first night and my medical insurance even paid for a major portion of the cost.

The TAP literally saved my life. Ever since junior high school, I remember having feelings of fatigue, low self-esteem, and symptoms typically attributed to depression. However, at the time, I didn't know what was wrong. My life and the choices I made were directly affected by my sleeping disorder. The consequences of living with sleep apnea are almost too numerous and complex to explain. I was at my wit's end when a friend introduced me to the TAP. Thirty days later, I had a new life, and 28 years of pain and suffering were reversed.

My employment, as a police helicopter pilot, requires a great deal of alertness. The safety of my crewmembers and citizens are paramount and cannot be compromised. Since using the TAP, I have come to realize how tired I used to feel all day. Your efforts have dramatically improved just about every aspect of my life.
