Oracle 452 oral mask?

Post by sleepless in ny » Sat May 28, 2005 12:48 pm

I just saw this mentioned in another thread so I took a look at it on cpap.com. Does anyone have any experience with it? By just looking at the picture it looks like it only goes into your mouth, and not your nose. Is that correct? I'm usuing the Swift nasal pillows right now and I'm not exactly loving them.
My teeth actually seem to hurt from the nasal pillows, but I'm not sure if it's because the barrel part of it pushes on them or because I'm grinding my teeth. Would the oracle help or hurt your teeth? It seems like having air blow through your mouth would cause more swallowing of air. Does it?
I've only been using cpap since Monday of this week, so I'm looking for something that will make it easier to use.
Thanks, Kathy

Hi Kathy,

If you look at the top of this page and click on the word: Search
and then enter the word: Oracle
you'll find lots of info from other users. This one seems good:

Good luck!
