Mouth breathing is when the patient primarily breathes through their mouth instead of their nose and will often lead to a very dry mouth or throat which causes discomfort and may even affect the health of your gums and teeth. Many CPAP therapy patients have issues with mouth breathing, requiring a chin strap for sleep apnea; the Spirit Medical Premium Chin Strap is a solution for patients who have difficulty with a Nasal Pillow or Nasal CPAP Mask. By holding your chin closed, this sleep apnea chin strap prevents "jaw drop" and air from leaking out during your sleep therapy. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms associated with mouth breathing, a chin strap is strongly recommended.
The Spirit Chin Strap is comparable to another chin strap for sleep apnea, the Respironics Chin Strap, if you are interested in the Respironics Premium Chin Strap you can check it out here: Philips Respironics Premium CPAP Mask Chin Strap.
