Premium Black Chin Strap for Sleep Apnea Therapy

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.

Why Use a Chin Strap?

Are You a Mouth Breather? If you wake up with a dry mouth or throat, it may mean you are mouth breathing, and a chin strap can help keep your mouth shut.

High CPAP Pressures Cause Air Leakage: A partner may notice air escaping your mouth, or you might experience snoring. A chin strap helps maintain a proper seal by preventing this.

Mask Stability: It can help stabilize a CPAP mask or prevent you from taking it off while partially asleep.

How to Use a Chin Strap

The Right Fit: Ensure the strap is snug but not too tight. Overly tight straps can cause discomfort, breathing issues, jaw misalignment, or make TMJ symptoms worse.

Facial Hair Users: If you have a beard, you may need a larger size with a bigger chin cup and wider straps.

Ask Your Doctor: A doctor or sleep specialist can help determine if a chin strap is appropriate and can address any underlying issues, like nasal congestion that makes it hard to breathe through the nose.

Chin Strap Warnings

Must Be Used with CPAP: A chin strap is not a treatment for sleep apnea on its own. It must be used with a CPAP machine.

Possible Side Effects: Discomfort, jaw soreness, or skin irritation can occur. If the strap causes pain or breathing difficulties, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
