Re: cpap therapy versus oral device
thank you for your input, Kim. Funny how some people adapt pretty well to cpap, other seem to hate it and love the oral appliance. Bad thing is that I dont think I can trial the oral device but I sure can find a cpap to try before buying. Also not sure how much a custom-made oral device costs down h...

Re: cpap therapy versus oral device
Hello and welcome to the forum, Fabio. I have no experience with an oral device, so I can't speak to that. I personally couldn't use one anyway because of TMJ problems. As far as the difficulty adjusting to cpap, keep in mind that those who find their way to a website looking for help are mostly of...

Re: cpap therapy versus oral device
Your low AHI number on that one night does not mean all your nights are like that. I would go for a two-week automatic cpap trial at home if that were possible.

Re: cpap therapy versus oral device
thanks for taking the time to reply. I agree with you partially, sometimes I have the impression that doctors will offer whatever is easier for them. First time I went to the doctor, she was very clear: she's all about cpap for the vast majority of cases. That sounded a little biased for me (and a l...

thanks for sharing this post with us OZJI, I saw the original post but couldn´t follow nor reply to it because that was irrational, no point on arguing with people that "barfs" their arguments on you. I totally agree with the post, here where I live a single visit to a good sleep specialist can cost...

Hello there, I'm brazilian, I live in Sao Paulo and this is my first post here. I've found this forum while googling for information to help me better understand my first ever night study (a split night report that looks and reads like an astronomy book in chinese for me). Been eating information fr...
