How is a mouthguard "less invasive" than a CPAP mask? A CPAP mask is 100% outside of your body--it doesn't "intrude" at all. Sounds like marketing b.s. to me.

P.S. I love my CPAP.
- 0xBDB 3y agoI would say intrusive (to the ability to sleep), rather than invasive. I tried CPAP. I am a frequent tosser-turner and the pull from the hose was enough to awaken me dozens of times per night, which obviously defeats (part of) the purpose. My mouthpiece (custom fitted and gradually adjusted with progressively tighter bands by the doctor) doesn't have that problem. It isn't quite as effective as CPAP per the sleep studies, but together with side sleeping it's close.
