Nasal mask and teeth movement

I have been trying the Respironics Comfort Gel nasal mask and I find it hurts my teeth. I did the boil and mold thing and it came out pretty good but I have to have the straps to tight to stop the leaks. It puts to much pressure on my upper teeth and after awhile it will probably move my teeth. My wife says that's not good (retired dental assistant) for my teeth and over time will effect my bite. Has anyone else had this problem? Like the mask but it's going to have to be a no go. Have bought the insurance so will send it back. My pressure is 10 and 14.

I have not had that problem as I use nasal pillows. However, the dental hygienist at my dentist's office told me that they had seen several instances where nasal masks moved people's teeth over time. She said it can cause some significant dental problems. I would suggest you visit your dentist to discuss. And you might try a different mask that does not put that amount of pressure on your teeth. Good luck.

I use the Comfortgel nasal as well, and know exactly what you're talking about.
I also, have problems with my teeth.

I spoke with my dentist about it, and he said he doubted the mask was a problem, BUT, there was a chance that it MIGHT, I repeat, might contribute to the problems I have. Because of this, I've only recently switched over to nasal pillows. I'm still trying to find the best pillows for myself, but they seem to eliminate the pressure on my teeth. The down side in my case is that I get much better results with the nasal mask over the pillows.

In the past, I've also tried a full face mask, which also takes the pressure off the upper teeth. You may want to give that a try if the pillows don't work out for you.
