Has to do with the progressive jaw advancement that needs to have continuity, or you're back to square zero every time you re-start using the dental appliance instead of cpap.
Seems like the device stretches connective tissues which shrink over time when the device is not used. Just guessing.

Re: Goggles available for dry-eye CPAP users

The Coptic "wahe" became Arabic "wahah" which means "oasis".

I was once in an asthma forum online where a woman insisted that a fan blowing in her face treated her sleep apnea, because it blew air into her mouth.
The fan is proven to work. Sold on cpap.com - https://shorturl.at/rDJT1

Re: New ResMed full face mask....the F40

Confusing page. The top half of the page shows an under-the-nose FFM, the bottom half over-the-nose. I believe the second half of the page is in error.

Have they advocated for lifelong dependence, or have they discussed the potential for time-limited use?
What about CPAP therapy would make you think it's a cure?

That's great. Looks like a more refined and improved version of Dr. Sue's Mouthpiece.

Turbinate Reduction Surgery
Gramps had the surgery about 25 years ago and says it one of the best things he ever did for himself.

It's not a cure, but it makes using CPAP so much easier and greatly improves breathing and health throughout the day.

A famous sleep doctor wrote that false negatives are somewhat common and require an additional night(s) in the sleep lab. Later, he post...
