Mandibular device - dentists?

My Sleep Doc gave me a script and a list of Dentists that make these but my normal dentist said that they can do them. Are all dentists the same when you get these? The Dentists on the lists are all just normal dentists I believe they are DMDs and DDSs and I use to go to one of them for normal denti...

Re: Headrest Help

Thanks Ill try the vinegar tonight. I will then get on getting an XL, but so far everywhere I look its $35 for some pillows!

When I got switched to FF both the liberty and hybrid gave me dry mouth. Im glad I ignored negative remarks regarding chin straps because the persistence of finding the right one really paid off. I love my Topaz chinstrap (and hated all others) and now I am happily back to my nasal interfaces with n...

Billmyinsurance doesnt take new cust- any other options??

They arent taking any new accounts with insurance. I havent been able to find a local DME who sells the Headrest - is there anyway to order one with my insurance and without fronting cash?
