Mouth pieces work for some… I had to deal with pulmonologist and dentist to have mine made. Within a year they determined it wasn’t effective. $900 wasted. Insurance wouldn’t cover very much of expense. That’s why my out of pocket was so high, do your research. Been on cpap 2yrs I swear I’ve gotten dependent on the machine. It sucks but now I absolutely can’t sleep well without it. It’s a blessing and a curse

Problem solved and I like it better than all the masks I have ever used. Wile likes it as well. Doesn’t blow on her neck.

I losen the straps and adjust then for a lose fit then go to the other pair of straps and do the same . I hope this helps you ! You're friend along the snare line . Allan

Used the mask for about three years, can't wear it now I feel like I'm suffocating. Quit wearing the mask when I started sleeping in my recliner next to my wife. She's unable to lay in bed after her stroke 3 years ago. I tried a electric chin patch, I think it worked seven nights, then it quit working, POC Wife says I snore, but much quieter in the chair, I don't think I stop breathing in the chair like I might in bed
