I have mild OSA. I recently started using a Tap appliance fitted by a sleep dentist. It is working in the short time I have been using the device. I noticed several changes immediately. My question for the group is regarding jaw pain. I would like to know if it will subside? I have only been using the device for about a week and half. We haven't adjusted it yet to pull the jaw forward anymore than the default positioning. My default position is not neutral, it is slightly forward. I don't have pain wearing the device. I have pain only on my right side. I spoke to the dentist. He did a small bit of grinding to the back acrylic slide and that helped a bit. He wants me to continue using the device as it is helping my sleep and my jaw bite does fully reset (3//4 reset after 30 min.) after about an 1 hour. He believes the pain will subside as the jaw muscles stretch and are less tense. Thoughts?
