PureSom Premier Chin Strap for CPAP Users

If you notice you open your mouth when sleeping or wake up with dry mouth, a simple solution would be a chin strap among other CPAP supplies. Dry mouth, mouth leak, or loss of CPAP pressure can cause discomfort and may even affect the health of your gums and teeth.

Many patients who struggle with mask leaks from their mouth use a full face mask, however, not all patients are willing or able to use this style mask. A chin strap will accompany nasal pillow or nasal masks in providing a high quality option to those who suffer.

This Premier CPAP Chin Strap gently holds your chin in place to prevent your jaw from dropping leading to air leaking out during 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.
