Best chin strap?

Post by SnoreNoMore2005 » Sun Apr 13, 2008 3:33 pm

I'm wondering what people think is the best chin strap to stop from opening your mouth at night when wearing a nasal mask.

Thanks

I'm cheap, I use a head sweatband. It's comfortable also.

I think the Topaz is right at the top of the list. I tried one and it did not work very well for me. While it held my teeth together my lips would still leak pressure. I used tape for a while and finally used PolyGrip strips to glue my lips together. My teeth felt better. Some people have used them and had good luck with them.

My Tiara Ruby works perfectly for me. If it's pulled up onto the chin just below the lower lip there shouldn't be any lip fluttering, etc.
