Oral Mask

Post by carolmacd » Fri Feb 10, 2006 6:28 pm

I am currently using a nasal aire II, which I do like. It is comfortable and stays in place nicely. However, I find that I often wake up at night breathing through my mouth. I am considering a FisherPaykel oral mask. Has anyone tried this mask? Any opinions?
Thanks,
Carol

Lots of previous posts on this topic. Use the search function for Oracle. Does not get many good reviews.

I tried the Oracle several times. Didn't work well for me.

I haven't come across one person who kept going with this mask.
When placed in the mouth, it tends to squeeze the lips.
I tried it one but gave up.

I also purchased a near new one off one of the most recent posters on the topic here. It was bought for my mask museum. Which is where I think it belongs
