I've used the UCS for about a year and love it. Full-face masks caused jaw problems for me. The strap is much better for me.

It's called the Oracle. It's an oral CPAP interface.

She's talking about a curved piece that fits between the front of the teeth and back of lips. Very thin and solid, no holes in it. The Oracle is a mask of that type but she's not talking about a mask just the small piece to fit in there.

This mask seems like a great idea. I notice it comes with nasal plugs, but I am wondering why they did not include nasal blowers like the Liberty model.
I do not want to seal my mouth for the times I have a stopped up nose, and I do not want to intentionally stop up my nose if I do not have too. A Hybrid model of this mask would eliminate a great many of my complaints about full face masks. Maybe some company has researched/tested a hybrid model in this design and found that it does not work for some reason?
