Well, I kinda fancy "Maple Leaf" Can you make it happen..

You guys are killing me Okay, "rws", for life it is.

[quote="rooster"] I don't mind anything you want to say in this thread, but do you realize the OP is about how to determine up front whether an oral appliance might be effective?

I have yet to try taping although I'm considering as my chin strap isn't working out, either that or a couple of clothes pins!!

I gave up on my $1200 oral appliance several years ago. However, once I removed the bottom section with a pair of wire snips, I had the perfect upper mouth guard for preventative teeth grinding. Basically, for sleep apnea, it was a failure, at least for me.

What happens to all those clunkers?? Are they crushed, or, end up back on the street after the used car dealer makes a few bucks??

Hi, has anyone told you that your mouth is open when you're asleep? It happens to a lot of us and we lose all the Cpap air that way, so wear full face masks, or tape, sometimes chinstraps (but they aren't supposed to work as well).

Actually, there is, Forest fires galore ... but I can't blame it on that.. lol! My nasal passages were not blocked, it just felt like the machine was shut off.

First time I've experienced it so I'm wondering if it was some type of apnea event?
