Fitting questions

Post by tempest » Fri Dec 06, 2013 10:20 pm

I am going for my machine pickup and fitting in a few days and I am very excited!

What are some questions that I could or should be asking while I am there?

At this time, I do not know what type of machine or mask I will be getting, only know that it will be a full mask because of my having to wear a dental occlusal guard for TMJ. I can not go without it, because otherwise I crack my teeth from grinding them (btdt), but I can't close my mouth with the guard in. So...full mask it is.

Thank you

Make sure that they are giving you a data capable machine so that you can monitor you therapy progress.
Here is a list of machines you may want to print out and take with you: http://maskarrayed.wordpress.com/

I am sure when others see this they will add to the list.

Good Luck!
