sensitive teeth

Normaly my teeth are fine, however since using cpap therapy for about 5 months my teeth are beginning to hurt. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

My upper teeth were quite sore the day after I had tightened my headgear too tight. The nasal mask had slipped and was putting pressure on my mouth. Since I've loosened the mask and let the silicone seal do its job, I've not had any tooth pain.

My teeth have become sensitive. I think I'm clenching my teeth while sleeping to keep the CPAP air from escaping via my mouth.
