Re: Oral device

The more expensive ones have to be created from a dental mold.

Re: cpap

It should most defiantly be compatible. Check your tubing and see if each end is a sort of rubber, those are the Universal tubings which will connect all Masks to CPAPS If your having doubt you can always check the diameter of the mask connection and compare it to the tubing connection and go from t...

Re: Newbie, OSA, full beard, mouth breather

APAP is a good choice, there is a wide variety of them on the market.
