Sleep apnea is a growing concern. As our awareness increases, and as the media shares celebrity deaths from apnea, we learn more about its causes and its treatment.
Dr Timmerman offers the TAP appliance to help deal with sleep apnea. This removable device positions the lower jaw in a forward position to allow a better airway while one sleeps, similar to airway management with CPR. It is adjustable, so a person can fine tune the position based on comfort and effects.
Quite often, medical insurance pays the lions share of the cost.
