Before you go to a CPAP, try to find a legitimate sleep dentist. A lot of times it can be helped with different types of "nightguards" that are a lot easier to wear.

I will second the nasal pillow recommendation.
I tried a nose/mouth mask the first month and struggled staying asleep due to leaks etc.. I've been using a nasal pillow type mask for over 3 years. It is such a vast improvement. You still wake a bit when you move around, but barely. |
From what I remember-my Oxygen level was down to 92%-or less- when I stopped breathing.
I started with the nasal pillow-then slept with my mouth open. Switched to a full mask. Never had an issue after that. My Cpap https://www.resmed.com/us/en/healthc...e-10-cpap.html Insurance pays for much of it. Always a deductible. I am on a loaner-my first one had the motor making bad noises. Have not heard about replacement yet. It was only 2.5 years old. And have to check to see if insurance pays for repairs. The three days without it was terrible. The alternative is worse. |

I have SA and a CPAP. I thought I’d never be able to sleep with a mask because I’m a side sleeper, but it’s amazing. Within a week you feel better and start to be sharper. Like others have said, finding the right mask is key as it keeps the pressure constant and after the first night or 2, you won’t even feel uncomfortable putting it on to go to sleep.
All I can say is weigh your options on which machine to buy and talk to the doctor about outright buying the machine instead of making payments. Huge difference if you can just fork out a few hundred bucks. |
