Standard Chin Strap for CPAP Therapy

The Standard Chinstrap is used when wearing a CPAP Mask and the CPAP or Bi-Level machine pressure is causing the mouth to slightly open. Chinstraps will help keep the mouth closed so the user gets the ample amount of pressure and keep the airway from becoming dry.

These chinstraps are one size and are considered to fit most people. The Chinstrap can be worn over the mask headgear. Most users will put the chinstrap on first and then the mask so the headgear helps keep the chinstrap in place.

Due to the stretching of the chinstrap, it is recommended to replace it every 3-6 months or when the user notices it no longer working affectively.

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.
