Re: Mouth guards - effective ?
We are going to assume that a dentist knows how to make a properly fitted oral device. Why is this being offered to your mom? What are the goals? Which device is being used? There are tons out there. The only real negative that I can think of is perhaps some TMJ or jaw joint issues from too aggress...

Hi Sleepnomad, I also use the Lookee Vibrating pulse oximeter for my mom who has REM related sleep apnea - Which brand do you use ? Have you found it to be accurate ?

Mouth guards - effective ?
Hello ,
Has anyone has success using dentist -fitted mouth guards to treat their apnea.
I understand they do not work for all and not for severe cases.
Also, can they worsen the problem ?
Thanks
