Why Mouth Shield
For those who struggle with mouth breathing while they sleep, especially if they have obstructive sleep apnea, MouthShield offers an ideal solution. Many people using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine find traditional methods like chin straps and mouth tape to be uncomfortable and ineffective..
MouthShield provides a comfortable and effective oral appliance that helps to prevent mouth leaks and promotes better sleep quality. By keeping your mouth gently closed, it encourages nasal breathing, which in turn reduces dry mouth and snoring. This also helps to enhance the effectiveness of your CPAP therapy by keeping the air pressure in your upper airway where it's most effective.
Many people look for alternatives to mouth taping because studies on mouth taping have often shown potential for skin irritation, even with medical grade tape. A small study might suggest that things like nasal strips are helpful, but they don’t always solve the issue of the mouth opening completely. MouthShield offers a more secure and comfortable way to ensure you're breathing through your nose throughout the night, allowing you to mouth tape safely without the actual tape.
HOW IT WORKS
Mouth Shield is crafted from 100% medical-grade silicone, which is both soft and durable. It fits comfortably between your teeth and lips, maintaining its shape while conforming to your mouth.
The round, softened edges provide a smooth feel against your gums and cheeks, preventing any discomfort during use. MouthShield is also trimmable, allowing you to customize it for a perfect fit.
To use MouthShield, simply place it in your mouth before going to bed. It will stay in place throughout the night, preventing your mouth from opening and ensuring you breathe through your nose. This simple but effective mechanism helps reduce dry mouth, snoring, and air leaks for CPAP users.
The Mouth Shield is also trimmable for a custom, comfortable fit for almost any size mouth!
