Dr. Tony,
Wow! Thank you for giving your time like this! I had posted this on the main page but was hoping you could help me with this question....
Hello! I am new to all this! I was diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnea this year & decided on the Narval CC. My dentist encouraged me to try it out at home for a couple hours each night before I went to bed before officially using it overnight.
I have an issue where if I yawn/open my jaw wide, my lower tray lifts off my teeth. I can feel it snap off & then the tray is just there in my mouth.
The dentist had me show him; he says that this would not be an issue while I am actually sleeping as I will be resting & not be opening my jaw with enough force to lift the tray off. I am a mouth breather at night though & do wake up with my jaw hanging open sometimes! He pointed out that even if it did pop off, I would wake up & not choke on it etc. I have been afraid to try it though!
Does anyone else have this issue?!? Is this is known thing & okay to use? I called Resmed but they were not able to help me - they said they can't help on the clinical application side.
Thank you for any help! I keep looking at this expensive device & am so so tired but I'm anxious about trying it.
