Help on selecting dental device

I need a dental device which does not keep a big gap between upper and lower teeth so that the jaw does not have to be open a lot.
At the same time I think some gap is required for mouth breathing
Which are good devices as looks like there is no way to try a device before buying.

Uhh... this is a Cpap forum?
But... why would you want to mouth breathe?

I don't want to mouth breathe but if there is nasal congestion our body will switch to mouth breathing
so the device should allow mouth breathing

you'd do better over on apneabored where they pretend to know about stuff besides cpaps.

do you plan to use the dental device with a cpap ... or are you HOPING that it will treat the problem for you.

Are you asking about a custom-fitted, adjustable Mandibular Advancement Device or an OTC boil-n-bite device?
