I know CPAPs get a bad rep because they're difficult to adjust to, but I use my CPAP nightly and after an adjustment period it has transformed my sleep. I suppose ultimately treating sleep apnea is the important part, so if dental devices help, that's great too.
- maxgreenfeld 5y agoCPAP works great for many patients and we intend to fully support.
- pdonis 5y agoIf you can do something about the idiotic Philips recall and the lack of replacement units, that would be great. I've been waiting for my replacement unit for months. I'm using a mouthpiece in the meantime (btw, $199 for a mouthpiece as shown on your site seems way high), which is helping, but I would still like to have the replacement CPAP.
- toqy 5y agoI could never get used to mine, I didn't even know there were alternatives so I might give it a go.
- jjkaczor 5y agoThe biggest success-factor for me in using it was - the type of mask. A full mouth/nose mask (ala "fighter-pilot-mode") was useless, incredibly constricting and confining - I ended-up always removing it after a couple hours of fitful sleep. Moving to a "nasal pillow" mask made all the difference - I slept the entire night through the first night - and ever since. While some people need a "chin strap" to keep their mouth closed, I found that I did that automatically.
