Folks, this is merely a dental device. I have worn a night guard, professionally made by my dentist, for many years now due to grinding in my sleep. It simply fits in the roof of my mouth. I like this idea as it's much less expensive...mine are always about $500! Now this product's more expensive version takes that night guard a step further by depressing the tongue, further opening the airway! This sounds like a great alternative when camping, or other such time when CPAP is difficult to drag along.

I don't doubt the terrible customer service, but remember "it is what it is." The advertising is horribly misleading without actually making any real claims. I figure it may be worth a try picking up someone else's cast off for $25 on amazon.

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE MAKING ANY SUCH HEALTH DECISIONS.

it did not work. I tried following all the suggested steps and it only choked me awake thru the night.
When I tried to return it as they said could be done the response via email was to call customer service. They would not pick up, it was an indefinite hold. This is a rip off. Avoid this scam.

Guest,

If you paid by credit or debit card, I would write the company and let them fight to get a refund from the company on your behalf. Sorry you experienced that.

I tried one of those devices that advances your lower jaw, similar to the product described... it was terrible and I had a lot of residual jaw pain, plus I didn't get any apnea relief. That's just me tho, your mileage may vary.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

False hope is always a big seller, generally over-priced, and frequently disappointing.
It makes a fortune for those who don't care who it ruins.

Yes!

Ruins? I doubt that. Hopefully, it makes people smarter about how they spend their money in the future.

Injury occurs whenever proper treatment is delayed.
I would not wish TMJ on anyone. (A common side effect of these unfitted nonsense devices)
A former co-worker had it, and her pain was an aura that anyone near her could feel.

Had she been using an "unfitted nonsense device"?

She just had the tmj from another cause; and suffered greatly, but it is a well-established fact that many
people can have it acerbated by poorly chosen treatment, especially this sort of quackery.
FDA approval only indicates that cash changed hands--nothing else is certain.

While this device pretty much stopped my snoring, it by no means is cure for Apnea. Obviously, I'm here. My wife actually sleeps now. It's was mostly for her. I've been using it for almost 7 months now. I'm used to it. To be fair, it has stopped the out loud, OMG, what is that noise, snoring and by extension, reduced my OSA--somewhat. I still can't sleep on my back indefinitely. But on my side, oh yeah. BIG difference. But then, I have nights random nights with what I believe is Central Apnea. An oral won't help there.

Yeah, it is gimmicky. At $90, it's a joke how cheaply made it is. Since it has FDA approval, they can use words like "cures apnea" and charge a premium. maxed out

I also occasionally grind my teeth (Bruxism). It has helped with that too. What really makes this thing "work", is the rubber band (and that's all it is) which keeps the back of the tongue from either falling back or sealing off your air way.
The band is also the weak point and is where they "get ya". After you buy it, buried in the instructions, they recommend replacing it every 4 months. LoL . Bob Eubanks didn't say nuthin' about that. It stretches out. Mine is probably maxed out. Waiting for it to snap.

Otherwise, it keeps my wife happy. It does a little for me.
