mouth piece to keep mouth closed

[Mikebear]

So I have been using a Dreamware for about two years now. However, I have to use it with a chin strap or else I have mouth breathing problems and wake up with ultra dry mouth. I still get that some even with the strap. I have been sticking with it because my AHI is about 1.0 and I don't have any alternatives (yet).

Recently, I saw an ad for the CPAP Pro and Pro II (Nomask). I did a little digging and it didn't get much positive play here on this forum. That search led me to the TAP PAP which is similar. Those devices got me thinking. Maybe there is just a mouthgaurd type device that will hold my mouth closed. I don't really need a new mask or air interface as the dreamware has been fine. I just want something that works better than the chin strap to keep my mouth closed and is maybe more comfortable.

So is there such a thing? Simply a mold-able mouth piece that would hold my mouth closed.

Yep, do a search on Amazon for an "Adult Pacifier"...

Please provide a link to a specific product that stops mouth leaking. Have you tried it?

I haven't tried one, I'm going on what I've read. I tape my mouth shut at night to stop leaking. I've tried the various moldable mouth pieces, a tap-pap, and all that stuff years ago. They all hurt my teeth by morning. Tape works perfectly.
