OK fair enough. How do you know "it works", that it treats your apnea?

google of TAP apnea led me here. It's a branded 2-piece custom
mandibular advancement device, a peer to the somnomed MAS it seems.

http://www.21stcenturydental.com/smith/sleepapena_tapappliance.htm

This class of devices works by advancing the jaw forward to create
more space such that the airway doesn't collapse. It's similar in
principle to the jaw advancement surgical option that's usually
mentioned as something surgical to do if tonsillectomy + uvpp doesn't
get ya there.

Thanks for the info. I read it and think I will just stick with my bi-pap.
