I sleep pretty well with a CPAP, but I feel like I'm very sensitive to pressure inside my mouth or teeth. I keep adjusting my CPAP nose mask so it puts no pressure on my teeth, and rests on my cheeks instead.
Not sure how I'd take to something like this, but nice to know there are more options for fellow sufferers.
- aryamaan 5y agoTry nose masks. I have been using them and find them very comfortable. I am amazed how our noses don't feel bothered at all with the additional pressure.
- UI_at_80x24 5y agoI've tried the nose masks. Every night, my mouth would open, and the air being pumped into my nose would go out my mouth. It feels like my carburetor gets stuck in vapour-lock, and I wake-up in a panic unable to breathe. It would take a few seconds even after the mask is off for things to function correctly. So I prefer the full face mask.
- lathiat 5y agoI have no idea if it will work for your case or not but if you can try it out at a store (many will fit you with things) there are nose models that both go underneath ("pillows") as well as that go over the nose kindof like a full face mask. But then the one I'm currently using is the ResMed F30i whic his a full face mask but doesn't go up over my nose so it's not as.. face enclosing.. which is why I like it. But the entire thing is like a bouncy silicon which seems to put less pressure on my face than some of the other full face ones I tried so may be worth a try.
