Re: Clenching Teeth with Dreamwear

My problem side of my jaw is on the left. For me when I am laying on my left I stick my finger in my right ear to pull down. It’s almost like the left side isn’t strong enough for the ligaments to keep the jaw in place. I’m not suggesting you use a lot of force just give it a gentle pull. Hope that...

Re: Clenching Teeth with Dreamwear

LOL, I hate using ANY mouth guard/appliance things. I have heard that the appliances for apnea push the jaw forward in a way that might not be good for some folks.

Clenching Teeth with Dreamwear

I have been using a ResMed AirFitF30i (mask + nasal pillow) but found it difficult to sleep on side or belly without leaking. As I know that I often have my mouth open while sleeping, I held off on dreamwear since I thought I would be blasting air out my open mouth all night. I ended up trying it an...
