After the lower jaw has been held forward for several hours, patients may need help finding their original bite position when the TAP is taken out. The AM Aligner is a device used after the TAP (or any appliance) is worn. It exercises and repositions the patient’s jaw back into alignment. By using the AM Aligner every morning, the risk of causing a permanent bite change can be reduced.The AM Aligner is constructed from a thermoplastic material that, when heated, can be molded onto the upper teeth by the clinician. It should be fitted at the same time as the TAP delivery and should be worn every morning after wearing the TAP (or any oral appliance) to reposition the jaw and teeth back to the patient’s original bite.

The AM Aligner:

• Will re-establish the proper fit of the teeth
• Is constructed of a unique thermoplastic material that can be fitted in the dental office
• Can be used as a jaw repositioning aid after use of ANY mandibular appliance use
