Chinstrap hurts teeth

Post by Guest » Mon Dec 03, 2007 9:31 am

Well I still havent full converted to my FF - i may need to buy a special pillow since I side sleep. Plus with the aeropahgia I keep cheating back to my pride and joy (my NAII) anyhow. I have a resmend and Respironics chinstrap and with both I wake up with sore teeth, I tried wearing it more loose and it leaked. Tried poligrip with no success and and cant tolerate taping just because of the control factor I awake panicing. SO anyway anyone have this chinstrap problem and found a strap that didnt hurt their teeth?
TIA

Tiara Topaz chinstrap works reasonably well for me when I wear nasal mask. It's not perfect but it doesn't hurt my teeth.
